I have actually been locked OUT of my coach with the airlock! One of the little ones was playing with switches and locked the airlock while there was no pressure on system. Then I needed to raise airbags for some work I was doing and used the rear emergency port with my air compressor. Tried to get in door and was locked out!

Marshall:

Thanks for the input, I have used Ocala Detroit Diesel and Prevost winter Garden.

With your comment of leaking injectors in mind I think I will take a oil sample to see if there is any sign of fuel in the oil, this would go hand and hand with a leaking injector

Removed due to my reading incomprehension.

I think Buddy is referring to the old R-12 systems and the Freon hoses not being compatible with 134. Back in the day, converting from R-12 to 134, Prevost would want all hoses to be replaced, a major expense. The York 210L compressor was the same, but needed mineral oil instead of Estes. At least that’s what I remember, having had an R-12 system in my 94 Liberty.

Thanks guys.

Inverter Service Center in Nashville, TN. I think they are probably an advertiser on this platform. I’ve been there once and they were awesome.

Any chance they make that in a goose neck model.

Rick that’s a great looking portable work cart ,you will know every inch of that baby when done. Good luck .

Thanks for the help. I think I am going to have to pump it down so I can repair the suction side valve at the compressor anyway. It leaks as soon as you start to turn it. I’m afraid if I pump it into the accumulator, I might introduce air through the leak when I reach negative gauge pressure on the low side. I have been thinking about purchasing a Robinair recovery machine to fix this and maintain my and my family’s passenger cars. I already have a vacuum.

As a result of the leaking suction valve, I can only measure the high-side pressure, and it is only getting to 150 psi. I need to work through section 8.1.4 in the maintenance manual before I go too far.

Assuming you want to deal with someone in Florida, you should talk to Kyle at Tradewinds in Deland or Brad at The Motorcoach Store in Bradenton, both are advertisers here on PC.

Dale:

We are currently at a friends house for the 4th. I have plugged into two 20 Amp plugs he has in his garage (each on its own breaker). I have a 50 to two 30 Amp splitter and two 30 to 20 Amp plugs.

I am able to run one cruise air unit at a time. Aux air compressor is off, electric water heater is off, have to be careful about use of water pump (adds a momentary 8-10 amp load). Inverters kick in with the load assist and keeps the breakers from blowing when water pump comes on, BUT that takes a load on the battery’s that requires charger to replace, in turn adding Amps to your load.

It can be done but it’s a balancing act. These buses are power pigs.
