I’m with Pres. We live in Texas, bought our coach in Texas, and paid sales tax on the coach in Texas.

I must have run 1/2 gal thru mine before I got all the air out. Make sure your slave cyl is sumurged in fluid(hose over bleeder ) run into a glass jar with fluid in it. I think it is a 5/16 wrench that turns the bleeder. That way when you pump there is no way air can be drawn back in. I used the vac pump bleeder also you can see air coming thru clear hose to pump. Make sure your vac gauge on pump has reading before you open bleeder. I’m sure I typed it best of my memory but maybe you can take whats happening and make sence out of my rambling. bob

I think the reason Dan’s pump is not connected to the control box is because Liberty uses a large pump and they may have it on a dedicated circuit. Dan, if there is a wire number on the wires at the pump you should be able to find the circuit in the electric box. My guess which Jeff or someone more up to speed can verify is that when the Webasto is turned on the A-B relays are energized for the Webasto, heat exchange fans, and the circulating pump, possibly on as many as three dedicated circuits.

For the benefit of other Tecma Owners. I will elaborate on what I think Peter is saying.
You can clog them with too much paper. Just ask my 13 year old daughter. We had just left Marathon in Eugene and she told Me dad it won’t flush. Leon walked me through a few things on the phone and when that didn’t work back to Marathon we did. Took it all apart and yep just a massive amount of paper… I now know how to take it apart and fix it if it ever happens again. This was about 6 months into our 14 month trip and I told my daughter if it happens again she gets to clean it .. Problem solved

And if my guess is correct, you will leave the old manifold in place rather than go through all the plumbing required and just use the new valves and coils.
That is why I try to get parts. Too much effort removing all the air lines from the manifofd and than getting it back together leak free. If air lines and their fittings aren’t leaking I don’t touch them. I have enough leaks without creating more.

I have a 1996 XL American Coach conversion. Have talked to the owner of the previous company and could not get schimatics of systems, but the over all conversion is sound. Cabinet and system conversions were done very well. Note back in 96 much of my conversion is basic compaired to todays high tech. Major systems have redundent backup. Other then upgrades (ie electronics etc) They did a good job. Would not be concerened with American or Angola as the converter. Looking at many other converter coaches of the same vintage they did a good job.

It could be the pressure switch. Where is that located?
-
If I had to guess there are usually two reasons that make a compressor not run apart from fuses or circuit breakers or the switch being off.
The most common is the pressure switch. The compressor gets the signal to start from that switch, and then when pressure is reached the switch opens. If it did not close when pressure dropped that could be the problem, especially if the switch had been jostled, like with a big hammer, or vibrations from driving. A second potential reason is if the motor has a thermal overload switch. This is not the reason if everything else works, but if the pressure switch failed to open, as system pressure builds the compressor has to work harder, creating more heat eventually cycling on the overload switch. That is not good.

Charles, as mentioned above, if you create a new thread but don’t give it a topic, like “General Discussions” from the main forum page it ends up on the forum page as you said. If Tom or I catches it, we can place it somewhere, and if it turns out inappropriate for where we have it, we can relocate it to a better spot.
We should have the web guru block it from being posted, but then Tom and I wouldn’t have anything to do.

We are thoroughly enjoying our bus travels the last two months and wouldn’t trade our bus for staying in a hotel again, at least in CONUS.
Diane,
After those excellent New Orleans cooking classes, you should be cooking up a storm for Larry every night, including during your Bus travels.
We’ll enjoy a cold drink with you guys during Oysterfest, so take care of yourselves till then!

The joys of having an RV of any kind to me is having my own bed and bathroom.. I seldom EVER even use a public restroom !!!
Loading up at my front door and taking all the “might need it” stuff with me is wonderful… I hate suitcases and having to pack light…Hate airports today tooo !!!
I like my drinks along the way without stopping and ALL the conveniences of home away from home. Also don’t want to HAVE to eat out every meal.
I can’t imagine travelling any other way !!
Cheers to all and safe travels !!
Diane

Mark,
138 psi, was that a typing error, I hope?

Jon, I hope the muffler fluid change goes as well as the blinker fluid change went at the last seminar.

Doug,
We should connect sometime soon. We went from a Foretravel over to a 2005 Prevost Marathon. So we have a few things in common..hit me up on my profile name and send me an email when you get a chance. Or open your profile to emails. -
Jon,
The fans run continuously no matter what the temperature is, I know they should not be running in 50 degree weather. They have always cut off in the past when the bus is not in use. Now, they run all the time inside my shop with nothing on, and with the bay door open?
I checked current across the Snap disc thermostat, and it was providing power to the fans.
I can certainly check with Featherlite, Just thought somebody on here may know.
