Default Roof AC Gasket Replacement

Today I thought it would be a good idea to replace the gaskets on the A/C units. When I removed the inside cover on the front unit I had a surprise. One of the hold down bolts was hanging by a few threads the others three were lose. On the back A/C all four bolts were lose. They are now all tightened and ready for another season. Figured I'd share and remind everyone to check your bolts.

Phil, that is something probably most owners of RV's don't even think about checking. This would be a good thing to check when you are going over all your areas needing or being resealed. I bet most RV owners don't even check for a loose A/C unit.

Good catch! I normally always find something to address...tighten, adjust, reseal...much better to find it now when your not rushed (like before a trip).
