Blowing Warm Air
The fan runs but the cabin stays warm, often a weak capacitor or a dirty coil after weeks of humid weather.
Rooftop units for long, humid summers
RV AC Repair in New Orleans
RV AC repair in New Orleans is a big part of what we do from May through September, when rooftop units run nearly around the clock against heat and heavy humidity. If yours blows warm, trips the breaker, ices over, or drips water inside, we come to your campsite, driveway, or storage lot, test the unit, and many repairs are completed in a single visit.

Heat Plus Humidity: The Hardest Job an RV AC Has
Gulf Coast summers are long, hot, and wet, so a rooftop unit has to pull water out of the air as well as cool it, often for months at a stretch. That extra work runs compressors longer, heats up capacitors, and fills drain pans faster. Units that would last for years in a drier climate tend to wear out sooner here without regular attention.
Is Your Rooftop Unit Struggling?
Water Dripping Inside
More humidity means more condensate, and a clogged drain or flattened gasket sends it through the ceiling.
Breaker Trips at Startup
The unit shuts down as the compressor kicks on, a sign of a failing start capacitor or low voltage.
Coil Freezing Up
Ice on the coil usually means restricted airflow from a dirty filter or a slowing fan motor.
Short Cycling
The unit starts and stops every few minutes without cooling, often a thermostat or control board issue.
Loud Rooftop Unit
Rattling or grinding overhead points to a loose shroud, worn fan bearings, or a struggling compressor.
Getting Your RV AC Cooling Again in New Orleans Heat
Every AC call starts at the unit, not the parts bin. We check voltage while it starts, test the run and start capacitors, measure fan motor draw, and inspect the coil, filter, drain pan, and ducts. We service Dometic, Coleman-Mach, and Furrion units, ducted and non-ducted. Low voltage at the pedestal or breaker panel often ties into RV Electrical Repair, and when the AC is struggling, the fridge usually is too, which is where RV Refrigerator Repair comes in. It's part of our mobile RV repair across the New Orleans metro, whether your trailer is at a Chalmette campsite or in a Marrero driveway.

What RV Owners Ask About Their AC
Why can't my RV AC keep up in the summer?
In New Orleans the unit is fighting heat and humidity at the same time, so even a healthy one runs nearly nonstop. A weak capacitor, dirty coil, or low voltage cuts its output further. Parking in shade, keeping vents and filters clean, and closing shades during the afternoon all help, and a quick check can tell you whether the unit itself is the problem.
Why is my RV air conditioner dripping water inside?
Humid air means the unit pulls a lot of water out, and it has to drain off the roof. If the drain pan is clogged or the gasket under the unit has flattened, the water comes through the ceiling grille instead. We clear the drain, check the gasket, and reseal if needed.
Do you repair Dometic and Coleman-Mach units?
Yes, along with Furrion and most other rooftop brands, ducted and non-ducted. Tell us the brand and model when you call (504) 766-5055 so we can plan for the parts that unit usually needs.
