Is Your RV Air Conditioner Ready for the Hottest Days of Summer?

When August temperatures climb, your RV's air conditioning system becomes one of the most important components of your camping experience. If your AC isn't performing at its best, a relaxing getaway can quickly become uncomfortable.

Some common signs your RV air conditioner may need service include:

Weak airflow from vents

Longer cooling times

Unusual noises or vibrations

Warm air coming from the unit

Excess humidity inside the camper

Frequent breaker trips

Many AC issues start small and worsen over time. Dirty filters, clogged coils, failing capacitors, and electrical problems can all reduce cooling efficiency and put additional strain on the system.

Routine maintenance and professional diagnostics can help identify problems before they lead to a complete breakdown during a camping trip. If your air conditioner isn't keeping up with the summer heat, now is the time to have it inspected.

At Murphy's On-Site RV Repair, we provide expert diagnostics and repair services for RV HVAC systems to help keep you cool and comfortable wherever your adventures take you. Serving Central Wisconsin since 2006 with shop and field service options.

Call today to schedule your RV AC inspection before your next trip!

Mid-Summer RV Maintenance Tips for Stress-Free Camping

Summer is peak camping season across Central Wisconsin, and nothing disrupts a weekend getaway faster than an unexpected RV repair. This is the perfect time to give your camper a mid-season inspection and address small issues before they become expensive problems.

Start by checking your air conditioning system. During the hottest weeks of the year, your RV's AC works harder than ever. Clean filters, inspect vents, and make sure the unit is cooling efficiently. You should also examine your plumbing system for leaks, especially if your RV has seen frequent use this season.

Another key area is your roof and seals. Summer storms can expose weak spots that allow water intrusion. A quick inspection now can prevent major water damage later.

Don't forget your appliances. Refrigerators, water heaters, and furnaces are essential components that should be operating correctly before your next trip. If you notice unusual noises, inconsistent performance, or electrical concerns, professional diagnostics can help identify the issue before it leaves you stranded.

Whether you camp every weekend or just a few times each summer, regular maintenance helps keep your RV road-ready and your adventures stress-free.

Need assistance? Murphy's On-Site RV Repair offers professional shop and field service throughout Central Wisconsin.

🚫 Camper Care Tip: Skip the Pressure Washer on Your Roof! 🚫

It might seem like a quick and easy way to clean your camper, but using a pressure washer on your RV roof can actually cause more harm than good.

Here’s why you should avoid it:

🔧 Damage to Seals & Caulking
High-pressure water can break down or loosen the sealants around vents, seams, and edges—leading to costly leaks.

💧 Water Intrusion
Pressure washers can force water into places it shouldn’t be, including under roofing materials or into small cracks.

🪵 Roof Material Damage
Whether your roof is rubber (EPDM/TPO) or fiberglass, too much pressure can tear, lift, or weaken the material.

🧼 Protective Coatings Can Wear Off
Many RV roofs have protective coatings that can be stripped away by high pressure, shortening the lifespan of your roof.

✅ What to do instead:
Use a soft brush, mild cleaner, and a garden hose for a safe and effective clean.

Taking a little extra time to clean your camper the right way helps protect your investment and keeps you on the road longer!
