  • Dash Air Help – Greensboro, NC

    Posted by Archived on April 9, 2013 at 5:19 pm

    I’m posting for Peter…

    He’s on the road and no dash air, I suspect low freon. He’s heading for Greensboro and wondered if anyone could suggest someplace to get it checked out.

    Peter travels from March to October on business and has to keep moving.

    I’m confused. Is the problem with the dash air or is there a problem with low DC voltage?

    I get especially concerned when folks not used to working on a Prevost are used in desperation. Doesn’t Amadas have a presence within striking distance? Johnson RV?
