  • leaving OTR air on permanently

    Posted by Archived on June 6, 2014 at 12:05 am

    I have been told to leave my OTR air on permanently as it will keep the seals lubricated and result in less freon leaks. Make sense? But I notice when the rocker switch is on the heat side, the OTR compressor doesn’t engage. So am I leaving it on in the heat position?

    Somebody is spreading BS.

    Use the OTR as necessary for your comfort. The compressor seal is a maintenance item so after a decade or so you will see evidence of some leakage in the form of greasy crud behind the clutch. When you see a lot of that have a tech replace the seal. Less than $100 for parts and a couple of hours is about what is required to do the job.

    Hey Bill, add a signature when you get a chance so we know what year and conversion. That will help with future responses or you may get someone with a 2010 telling you how to do something on your 91 that won’t even be close. Go to “Profile” to do that…

    Bill, I was told to do what Jon said. Use it when you need it. Have the same year coach and don’t do a whole lot of work on mine myself but have experienced a lot of goodies going wrong with a older coach that has set up for 7 or 8 years and not started when I bought over 3 years ago.
    Any air issues? If not, wait.
