Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
When our A/C kicks in, we get a mildew-like smell for the first few minutes of operation. It then dissipates. Anybody have this experience? What did you do to remedy the situation? Something got wet up there somewhere, I don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
I agree that you should start with the filters. But I would also make sure that the drain line is free of debris causing the drain to drain slow or not at all. If this is free, it would allow the moisture to exit the unit faster making it less likely to cause this smell.

Also look for buildup on the condenser tubes and fins. Sometimes you get a white chalky looking build up if there has been a lot of moisture. Use a sponge with vinegar on it to wipe everything down. Be gentle you don't want to bend the fins.
