There is a refrigerant in them which can leak out over time. It is routinely checked and recharged when cars are serviced.Thanks, so it is something that needs attention? We've had the van for a year but it's 8 years old. What is a recharge?
I'm blond with a nic name of "user error" so go gently with me!
in other words don't just let it sit idle over the winter.
I've not heard anyone mention this with regards to MHs but it is certainly advised for cars so worth doing.Oooppps

not been to my MH yet to look at books, but did Google Dometic air con motorhomes, even higher up the list than Dometic came Vanbitz they fit them, both roof type and in locker types like ours, does yours have a remote control and vertical grill outlets?

Yes to the remote control. Not sure about the grills, I'll just finish the ironing and pop out for a pic.

Air con systems do require service when required.
No harm in asking if they can do it all for you. I do all my own and saves £££'s.
Good luck and hope you get it sorted

As I understand the regulations, the maintenance elelement requiring certifification only applies to trucks over 3.5t, trailers and commercial equipment. Mobile air con systems in cars and the like only requires certification for recovery of the gas etc. This is a simplified answer but the point is that cleaning the system with the disinfectant spray does not in any way break the law.Apart from the fact that it is illegal Unless you have the quali's/licence.

The f gas qualification is to handle refrigerant gasses, Halfords and the like have sealed machines that de skill the process. An f gas qualified person will be used to recharge the machine and prepare used gas for recycling or disposal.My car went to Halfords for a check after 8 years and no trouble, they emptied it and refilled it ?? one year later it has leaked down and not working properly now, I think they may have been looking for repeat business.
If you need to specially qualified why do they get the ERK in the workshop to do it, is he qualified do you think??
