One way to tell without dumping on the ground is fill the sink with water or pour a container of water down the drain while opening the toilet valve (RV water pump off) and watch for water movement in the black tank. But I would assume it goes to the gray water tank.

Take it from someone who has worked in the appliance repair business. Replacement is always the better financial option unless you have one under warranty. I don't remember ever working on one that wasn't warranted or had a service contract. Below is a link stating just what I said and a bit...

Geeze guy, that's a bit much for a typical RVer to do and much beyond their capability. I've been doing HVAC for 49 years and never broke a sealed system open just for cleaning the coils and routine maintenance. That's like open heart surgery just to check if everything is working okay.

You would have to depend on the door hinges to handle extra weight of which it is not designed to do. Plus, the door itself is not stable (swings open and closed) which could be unstable for your intended use. Back to the hinges...I have had to repair loose hinges just to handle the door opening...

How in the heck did you get that evaporator coil out so far without any lines cracking or crimping? I have always been reluctant to go the far unless I was replacing a coil. On second thought it appears you are replacing a coil. But since you do have it torn down like this, I would like to point...

That's okay. I'm only 74 so I have another year to get confused. Sure, freeze sensor loose or unclipped will allow evaporator freeze up, but both units unclipped, ehh! I would check them though I suspect a common denominator causing both units freezing. David's thought on low voltage make sense...

Actually, the most common culprit for freeze ups is air flow. Possible causes: Dirty air filter, Clogged evaporator, excess moisture in the RV, blockage within the ducting. AC always require higher air flow than heating. Excess moisture can be from number of people in RV or cooking. Your dealer...

I think you mean "Evaporator" and not condenser. Condenser is the hot coil which removes heat from refrigerant, Evaporator is inside which absorbs heat from the air.

Yes, I still drop a septic pod in each tank to aid in breaking down waste and toilet paper. They also help with holding down the odors.

Here are some methods that can help to keep your sensors as clean as possible. I personally use Method 4 for my black tank and substitute Borax with Dawn dish soap. I'll use just the Calgon for the grey water as it already gets soap from shower and washing dishes. I do this each time I drain the...

Should be just to press on the door latch. Or may be some sticky stuff on the door seal holding it closed.

Be a Big NO on supporting the slide. Between ground and camper movement, it can harm the slide mechanisms.

I have some of those jacks, but it doesn't stop the flex of the camper or help the slide. I still feel the camper shaking.

I stand corrected. I usually get them backwards.

A note: Our camper has a smoke detector, CO2 detector and a LP detector. Smoke and Co2 detectors are on ceiling and LP detector is mounted bottom of sink cabinet. LP is heavier than CO2 and Smoke and will collect low to the floor.
