A/C Gasket Replacement
A/C Gasket Replacement
I changed out the gasket on my 1988 32S. Relatively simple procedure....remove interior plastic & metal cover from unit, along with the exterior cover. Remove 4 long bolts from interior. Unplug wire harness...the top should now be free! I propped my top of the unit on a heavy tupperware tub. Clean up the top of the trailer & seal everything that sits under the a/c. I applied Tempro on the seams along with Eternabond. I sealed the rivets with Captain Tolleys. Then clean off the old gasket from the a/c unit. Apply new gasket & set into place. I have been told that if you turn over your a/c you should let it set for at least 36 hours before running. I heard that after I tipped mine. but it's ok

Looks great, Becky! I actually removed my A/C today as well, but I lifted mine so I could install eternabond tape along that main roof seam.

Re: A/C Gasket Replacement
Hi Becky
This is what I need to do too... my AC is old and dead, I knew this when I bought my trailer. When it rains it has leaked, I have it covered it with a tarp.But I would like to get it off the roof and replaced.
Thank you for sharing.

Re: A/C Gasket Replacement
Thanks! If you look closely, you'll see some nice, new eternabond on the seam that goes under the unit. I can't wait for a rain to see if I'm leak-free!KYAvion wrote:Looks great, Becky!
