We are in southern GA and last night I noticed a musty smell when the A/C came on then again this morning. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it. Thought about spraying Clorox in intake but not sure what other damage would result.

Don't spay Clorox in there. The musty smell is condensate siting in the unit. You might try som Zap Tabs form Home Depot. It's a tablet that is made for that musty smell. You will need to take the grill down to get in there. You might also need to cut it in Half. I will last for a few months. Good Luck and happy camping. JM2Cents Bill

I have used FrigiFresh before and had success.

Also be sure the drain pan on top isn't blocked with leaves and debris. If it is, the conensation will pool and begin to smell.

Spray Lysol has worked well on car a/c smells. If you can spray it up in there to kill the mold and mildew...Soak it down!!!!

I went up on the roof and the A/C is at the low spot and the roof around it has about 1/4 inch of water. Slanted the TT a little and it is running off in an almost steady stream. Seeing that makes me think the drain is working.
Thanks
