BOBODELL56 Report post Posted October 13, 2016 A strange issue has came up within the past 10 days. I am seeing strange debris coming out of some AC vents. The debris is mostly rectangular or square in shape. It is very dark brown in color, and is very, very thin. In order to even pick it up off the floor to examine it, I have to wet the end of my finger and touch it. If I rub it at all it simply disintegrates - like I stated, it is extremely thin. I first thought that it may be leaf debris, but that does not account for the shape. There is not a lot of it, but it is very annoying to have to pick up this stuff up on a pretty regular basis. It is primarily coming from 4 separate vents - 2 in the bedroom/bathroom area, and the other two in the kitchen area. The filters are relatively clean, and I cleaned the AC units themselves, but that has not seemed to help. Picture attached. Has anyone out there had a similar issue? I am baffled.

manholt Report post Posted October 14, 2016 On a 2015 coach? Don't think so. For the last 6 months I have had pieces of silver tape come out of mine, that's deterioration! On new coaches, I've had small pieces of white Styrofoam and other forms of insulation and even roofing material. Your pieces look almost like fuzzy felt, it's unlike anything I have seen, but I suspect it's coming from the material used in your ceiling and when they cut out the round or square holes for your registers, little pieces of material got in your duct work! If you have snap in or screw in registers, take one out and look up there with a flashlight, I did that and used a vacuum to get rid of my issues including the latest.

wildebill308 Report post Posted October 14, 2016 Looks like a bit of mylar tape used to tape the sections of duct together on the inside of the duct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBODELL56 Report post Posted October 14, 2016 Great comments!! I will try to vacuum out the duct work and see if that helps. It just seems strange that I have owned it for over a year and it is just now doing this. Thanks again!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
