All,
Thanks for the input. I plan on driving it during daylight. I will take a look at the suggestions to avoid the congestion areas. The last time I went thru Colorado, I found myself on the 70. That was an experience that I would rather not repeat.

Reminder, my 50DN is a 12 Volt version. I have Two 2/0 cables coming off the positive alternator post each one running to a 135 Amp Fuse, then onto the Battery Banks. One cable per pair of batteries.

If an autostart fails the batteries will eventually be depleted. If I had 3 days of dry camping my generator would be started the moment I shut the bus down. That way we had all kinds of power available and did not have to live like it was a tin tent to conserve battery power.
We bought a luxury coach and view compromising to minimize generator use or to try not to deep discharge batteries as something we are not prepared to do.

Agree with Billybeaver and the old farmer “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. You have already confirmed it is not a loose clamping nut – the nut is tight because it was installed tightly and retains that installation torque, the pressure of the refrigerant is minimal in comparison to the clamping force of a properly torqued nut. Tightening it more could make it worse, over tightening a flare seat fitting can make a leak by “over flaring” the tubing end spreading it too thin and exceeding the ductility limit of the material and causing it to crack = big leak.
As long as the oil level in the compressor is good in the sight glass, and you are not having to add large amounts of refrigerant regularly, as long as you keep it charged per the floating balls you should be OK. There are likely myriad small leaks throughout a 20 year old system. Don’t tell the EPA.
You could find someone with an electronic leak detector and “sniff” the fitting, might tell you where the small leak is. Likely at the flare/seat interface, but as another cited, could be where the flare seat male fitting is soldered/brazed to the copper condenser plumbing.
In summary, unless you have other reason to discharge/recover refrigerant, fix other things, evacuate/recharge, best don’t mess with it.

Buddy I once owned a Prevost Country Coach with the hurricane heater. It operated just like the webasto. Heated all the water when on.

We got 8 yrs out of the 4 NAPA commercial mx free group 31 chassis batteries that I recently replaced. They were still working fine but NAPA had a 20% off sale so I couldn’t pass that up.
Your results may vary.

H3 FEATHERLITEbath renovation rear bedroom closet. The rear bedroom Closet in is 7 feet wide by 3 1/2 feet deep and the floor is flat since it’s an h3. Therefore I want to put the shower head and sink in the 3 1/2′ x 7′ space so therefore it’s still leaves plenty a room for a queen size bed that I want to install a Murphy bed and please give me your thoughts
thanks Dr Gary Gboya12 @aol.com

Thank you

Mine looks like this probably older revision?

What you want is likely not readily available. Getting wiring diagrams from converters is not easy for the ones still in business, but CC has been gone for quite a while so that makes it almost impossible. Unless you can find someone with a close match to your coach, that does have them, you are likely out of luck.

Thanks for the reply Jon.
This was a Country Coach conversion, and so I really need the wiring schematic for what Country Coach did.

Part of his upgrade is liquid nitrogen injection in front CAC and radiator.

Art I can’t recall but I also replaced a sending unit either in housing or right next to it in head ,it communicated with DDEc believe water temperature sender . Good luck

It is bonded to the frame. Prevost likely has very good information on the bonding process and the materials to use in the service manual for the coach.
