Does any one know what would cause the AC unit to freeze? Just does it on low. The person I bought it from mentioned it and I forgot about it until it froze up. Once it thaws out it works again. Just getting ready to go south and thought I might be able to fix it before I left

Either low on freon or air flow issues. Usually will be low on freon though.

All of mine will freeze on "low fan" speed. Not moving enough air to cool the room, so the compressor stays engaged all the time (doesn't have time to thaw). Turn your thermostat down a bit, turn fan on high and it should cycle on and off. These high temps and  high humidities just add to the problem. Check your filters, they are small and it doesn't take much dust and debris to clog them.... I'll dust our's about every 24 hours running, specially if we're showing out of the trailer... Alot of outdoor stuff ends up in that filter very quickly.

As was stated, the usual cause of freezing on the evaporator coil is low air flow, caused by a dirty filter.

I have found that the condensor(sp) gets dirty and causes the water to sit on the fins and once it starts to freeze it just continues doing so until it's completely froze. I have had good luck using aluminum wheel cleaner(has some acid in it) on the condensor. Just remove the cover and spray the cleaner on the aluminum radiator looking part towards the rear, then blow it out with a good air compressor. This should fix your problem.
