AC licensed...Go to Johnstone Supply, 5 Houston locations, or 800-392-5073. 
Don't believe the sign on the door, they sell to anybody. The only wholesale 
is the various freons, of which you have to be licensed. Get a fin comb, 
very cheap, couple of styles, and get some foam cleaner too. Take off your 
cover, straighten the fins best you can, wet r down and hose r good, get r 
soaked and soft, then spray in that foam and watch it go! Hose r down good 
as you can get. Don't flood the motor,and do lube with 30 wt and your oil 
can after dry. Don't run any wet motor until dry cause it'll fry. 
Straighten, wash, lube. You will be amazed what good air flow does for 
cooling, amperes draw, head pressure reduction, and longer life. The better 
you clean, the better it will all work. The best clean up is a total careful 
disassemble.

You can do this. No real money, just a lot of work. It can be done on the 
coach. Be careful, wet alluminum is slippery as you know. Disconnect shore 
power before working with water around the ac. The foam cleaner will not 
remove paint or mar-streak your finish. All other kitchen type cleaners 
will, as they are usually amonia based. Amonia is a great paint remover and 
will instantly frost bright aluminum.

Hope any of this helps. Get-R-Done!
