  Front air compressors

Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks
- Replies (6)

Hi,

We are new owners of coach #1234, our front air compressor is running constantly . I searched the forum but didn’t have any look for what I’m looking for. 

The biggest leak is from the compressor(s). Wrapped in white tape into the reservoir. Is there an upgrade to this 2008 tech that can circumvent all these connections? Or at least over better system with the air release?

Thanks,

  No power to headlights

Ok guys,
I'm sure it's in here somewhere but I can't find it for the life of me.
I have a classic 1986 that just suddenly lost all its headlights (both high and low beam) the brights will come on but only if I hold the stalk, they will not latch on. If I check the kick panel (number three I think), there is power. Also there is power coming to and leaving the headlight switch but no joy at the headlight sockets.
So I'm guessing there is a relay somewhere right? Does anyone know where I find this relay? Does anyone know where the wires run? Do they run outside on the driver's side floor or the passenger side?
Thanks in advance.

  Dometic DN1070 icemaker leak

Had another water leak from our Dometic DN 1070 undercounter icemaker.  The leak was in the bend in the plastic line where it goes through the sheetmetal under the cooling fan. The thin plastic water line was leaking at the sheetmetal hole. Poor engineering, poor selection of materials.

The hardware guy recommended a house standard stainless braided 1/4" rubber lined ice maker line.
The part number was a 121M72 for the 72" line that I bought.  The problem is the new connections will not go through the old line holes.

I ordered a Harfington sheet metal hole punch 28.3 mm from Amazon for about $21, and removed the fan from the cabinet.  Five screws out will free the whole fan, unplug the wires and remove the fan and housing.  Remove the old plastic insulator and insert the hole punch bolt, thread the end of the punch on the bolt and tighten.  A racheting 18 mm wrench fits nicely into the cavity to tighten the punch until the hole is enlarged.  Three 3/4" grommets with the outside grooves filled with silicone were installed in the three newly enlarged holes.  There is a hole in the back cabinet metal, the one under the fan and the one in the front where the line goes to the water valve.  The 18mm wrench will fit in all three spots.

Rubber gloves are good when slipping the siliconed grommets into the enlarged sheetmetal holes.  In addition, I bought a piece of clear plastic tubing just big enough to allow the braided hose connections to slide through.  The size for me just barely fit through the rubber grommets.  That should stop water line chafing permanently. (The end of the waterline is just wrapped into the unit so it is not on the floor.)

  Aqua hot exhaust question.

I just completed the rebuild of the aqua hot in my coach (#639).  Not for the fate of heart!!!!….but I am happy with the outcome. My domestic water appears to get hotter faster and I was able to add a High voltage (48v) DC element to serve as a solar load dump for my solar system. All in all I’mpretty happy with the outcome. However, the exhaust on both the generator and the aqua hot is pretty beat up and I have decided to replace it all. The Y between the generator and the aqua hot is in particularly bad shape. I’m thinking about being lazy and just run the aqua hot out the side next to where the “y” is (exiting on the drivers side).  I can never foresee a situation where I would want it to go up top. I don’t plan on spending any time crowded in an infield at a NASCAR race. I do, however, like having the generator run up high through the stack as I feel like it quiets it down even more. So my question is…is there any benefit to running a shorter exhaust out the side? is it more efficient? I’m hoping someone will say yes so that I can justify my lazyness!

Larry 2006 Newell 45 #756. I am having an issue with my generator, it starts and runs great but dies as soon as I release the start switch. I’ve checked the oil pressure sender and it’s fine. The coach is new to me 2 weeks ago and is in very nice condition but I kind of need the generator to work. Any help would be appreciated.

  Cannot get tile heat to work

How does one turn on the tile heat? I have gone to the Temp screen on the Silver Leaf and raised the setting all the way up to 10, but it does not seem to do anything. I attached pictures of my SilverLeaf screens. I have other heating systems running. Can the tile heat operate when other things are on? I've looked through all my manuals and could not find anything with any reference about the tile heat.

  antifreeze/heat transfer fluid leak from AH

I just ordered some century heat transfer fluid to refill the overflow tank on the aquahot because the level has slowly been dropping. 

I thought it might have something to do with the heater running, but on closer inspection I noticed that there was a small puddle of fluid near the back of the unit.  Looking around some more i found that coolant had been running down the AH exhaust pipe and making a puddle on the ground.

I'm not seeing a leak around any of the external piping or pumps so I'm assuming that it's coming for inside of the unit itself. 

I haven't found much in the manual about a leak and or how to fix it.  I am assuming that it's going to be a major operation to fix the problem but I don't know.

Does anyone know or have an idea of what could be leaking on the inside of the aquahot? 

Thanks in advance,
Tyler

Hi guys, 
Have been trying to run down a leak thats showing up top of Driver window frame in heavy rain , have pretty much ruled out the window leaking however there is a cap seam over it on the roof. Anybody had that seam to leak? That i can tell mine has not been sealed or taped and not sure it needs to be. All the common area on the roof are sealed with dicor lap sealant. Have some water coming in shore power compartment and wondering if it’s coming from the cap seam as well? Anybody with similar issues or ideas? Thanks Robert
