Well IM IMPRESSED. A woman the can fix stuff and isn’t intimidated! Hats off to you 😀
So glad to see a new video, was getting worried about you and was hoping you were ok out there.
It's amazing how you can do almost anything you set your mind to, and aren't afraid to tackle it...guess it comes from RV-ing in general, (or not)...I've had to learn to do a lot of things on my own too over the years, or, really all my life.
I have to say you are a great lady. And figure things out on your own and learn. And you are happy
Wind can be brutal at times. Great job on the replacement. Hope your doing well with all this virus mess going on. Hugs to Chase and Pearl. Stay safe.
Pippi, I'm impressed that you fixed it yourself. My wife needs to watch your videos! Seems like you've had problems lately with squirrel cage fans.
great job! I love watching your enjoyment in working on your RV, the house. the puppies...I sense most RV folk enjoy keeping our rigs in as good a condition as we can manage. I've written this before, your joy, frustration, willingness to keep finding the solution is quite infectious! Thank you for that, sure helps me out on days when the body is so willing. On my agenda this summer or fall will be replacing the rooftop AC units with a mini-split. My 4 340w solar panels will make use of the added space...so many projects... so keep the positive waves flowing Moriarty! (yup a test of Pippi's movie trivia skills... heh-heh-heh)

You know how to fix everything, great and congratulations to you 😊
Always appreciate when you do your own repairs ! :)
Love the fact that you are very handy. Good job, stay safe and happy camping 😎
Well done. I love to see RV owners working on their own stuff.
Great job Pippi, You really do need that Air Con when it's hot.
Thanks, Pip!
*Great video thanks for posting* 😊
Hello angel. Be safe. I like that: no complaints when it breaks. Just fix it and move on.
Thank you very much! Just had the same problem. KZread is the place to go for answers.
Hey Pippi!! You are now a certified HVAC tech👍😊 Thanks for the video on a very windy day.
You are a WARRIOR! Good job, my friend!

Hello, great info on finding out the cause of that rattle and repair on your a/C unit. Next time, while you have the cover off, show a simple a/c, inspection and highlights to clean the area under the cover! Great video, happy and healthy trails!!♡♡
I love how handy you are!
Love your videos , Your one AMAZING LADY, GOOD JOB.

Good job.
I always take the opportunity to do a thorough inspection and cleaning when I have things apart.
Good to see your up to your old shenanigans, those being, an excellent troubleshooter and ingenious. Looks like your trailer park doesn’t have any large trees in it, From what I could seen it looks like you’re going to bake this summer. Bummer. Sad for you. I always like your little tips and tricks, Anytime I’m repairing something, those tips are going through my head as I mentally replay your videos in my head. Thank you pippi.....

There's my Pippi. Good work gurl!!!!!!!!
Good Job!
Good explain, thanks from India
Nice job, everything should be shipshape and Bristol fashion. I had the same problem on my domestic AC. It was a 5 blade fan with 3 blades.
Dang good for you. I now have an AC that has the same problem. My deal is, I am so afraid of heights I can not get on the roof to fix.
Pippi you’re always Entertaining and Educational. Wish this was longer, I miss you 😘 How are things on the House? Maybe do a update. When’s the next Breakfast with Pippi? All the Best 😇💜😇
Great video...be safe
Awesome fix my Friend! Thumbs up ~John
Great video. You need one of those magnetic dishes for keeping nuts and screws in and probably not very expensive to buy.
I enjoyed this one 😊
I'm in southeastern AZ....my AC is running 8 hours a day. Leaving for Oregon next week :-)

Nice job
Isn’t it wonderful when it’s super easy to diagnose and fix?
I rip out the roof ac and put in window shakers or punch a hole in the wall. You can actually install a wall through by leaving 90% of the AC INSIDE and the outside flush with a nice vent covering the outside. I call it an INSIDE MOUNT and actually will run COOLER because it pulls COOL, DRY, INSIDE AIR across the coils, instead of hot damp OUTSIDE air. Then you build a cabinet in the inside and you have a real nice built in appearance. Small 5000 btu can EASILY operate off of solar, are cheap, run quiet, have a remote, and when old swap out for brand new $100 ac.
I missed you!
You rock!!
You are awesome.
I have had to replace the squirrel cages on all three of my ACs because they shattered like yours. I now carry an extra one in anticipation of the next issue, luckily the fans can be purchased from Amazon.

What do you go on to find your product you need? I love how your handle. I do all my own work on my rv and help my friends also.
Great how to vid Pippi, the coils on your unit need to be cleaned, they looked pretty dirty, thanks Pippi.

Thanks Pippi!!! Mine made a similar sound. I thought it might be a mud dauber nest....but now I am thinking that I may have the same issue. Did you ever find the broken fan blades? Thanks! :-)
Way cool junior!✌😎🏴☠️
cool
Go girl go!
They have really changed rv air conditioners since I worked on Mine and a neighbors of Mine. I have to change the double shaft blower motor on Mine and My neighbors. Yours is way different.
My hero! …or, is it `heroine’ 🥰
That would be your indoor blower fan with the broken vanes. The other fan that looks like a propeller is the condenser fan.
How is pearl and chase doing. Nice to see them in the video.

where did you get the fan and what is it called?
Hi Pippi hope your still doing fine
My AC will not come on this year after sitting all winter. I hope it is as easy to fix as Ms. Pippi's was..... I'm afraid the compressor is locked up, all it will do is hum. Pretty sad this unit only lasted 2 summers!!!

Oh gosh. And there’s no cool air? Sounds like the compressor. Try to troubleshoot it and contact the company to ask for advice. Best of luck!

@@PippiPeterson Thanks, it hasn't got real hot here in Houston yet. I think I will call the company and see if they will give me any options...
My rooftop unit has just stopped working. It only rattles when placed on cool, not just the fan. I've taken the top cover off and turned on only to find the sound is coming from the condenser. What is your thought? Anyone got any ideas? I'm guessing the compressor has a broken or loose internal part. It is on a 1990 r22 system. Thank you. I really need to get repaired asap.
Hullo lovely x
Should get a wind turbine for those days

Did you finish the house? Are you back on the road again? That fan must have been cracked when it was installed. They should never explode like that.

@@solodad001 I live in a 2003 travel trailer and have been for over 3 years. My fans are fine. The one in my furnace is metal, but the air conditioner fan is plastic. You could be right though because her units have black covers. Mine are white. Arizona sun destroys plastic, especially black plastic. I see it daily in cars here I work on. I may now replace mine with a metal fan LOL.
You need a handyman around:)
That there pippi is called a squirrel cage....
Thanks! Like #256
Try to remember also to use and put some " Loctite - Never Seize " on the threads of the screws and nuts and bolts so that if you have to go back at a later date the screws and bolts will come apart with the least hassle.
You need a cordless drill! I've never leave home without it. #motorhome
OMG! It's clear that your squirrel has escaped. Good luck with that one. When you install your new squirrel, be sure to get your vet to chip him so he can be returned if he also gets out.
Great job pretty women. Thumbs up Pippi have a super day..

go north. that's why i like rv's with basement air go on roof sucks
Off topic, but I’m fuming! Newer people moved into the rv park I’m at, they must be staying awhile, they had a built wooden porch delivered. The guy just walked his bulldog off leash behind my camper and others on my side, the dog took a dump and the dood just just left it there! Maybe that’s how Texans doo doo things.
