All,
Took coach to Newell in late October 2018 because of air leaks. A technician spent 8 hours chasing air leaks. At the end of the day the technician showed me the fittings that were replaced and the areas of the coach that they came from. Also, on this trip one of the auxiliary air compressors was replaced. It had over two thousand hours.
Last Tuesday I went out to the coach and paid attention to the frequency that the air compressor came on and how long it ran. I called and talked with the service department and they made some recommendations.
Last Tuesday the air compressor had 200 hours and today it had 213.5 hours. A bottle of soapy water sprayed on the air compressor bay fittings revealed no leaks. I took a stop watch with me and timed how often the compressor was on and how long it ran. The compressor would come on every five minutes and thirty seconds and run for thirty seconds. I got the same reading several times. I then switched to the other auxiliary air compressor and got the same readings.
Any suggestions? Input welcome. Got an appointment to take the coach to Newell in September.
