Compressor Excessive Run at High Altitude
#5

In mine there are two identical 120V compressors, manually switchable. There is no 12V compressor.

The compressor controller doesn't have anything to do with Valid. It does seem set to maintain a higher range of PSI than the ones a lot of you guys with older coaches mention. There was no obvious user-friendly way to change the pressure settings on mine, although I didn't try disassembling the box to look inside. (As someone mentioned, not sure why we'd want to do that.)

If it matters, I had BOTH compressors die almost simultaneously after six months at 6,000 feet. They were both 10 years old and had ~2,500 hours on each. The new compressors did not seem to have any trouble compressing at that altitude relative to sea level. I have been watching the timing pretty closely, because (a) I replumbed them with polyethylene tubing and that was a disaster, and also (b) I have had a ton of leaks develop.
