Good thing my 12v Thomas and 110 Gast work like champions. But this winter has been really warm. Like 46 and raining up here while the south has been hammered with cold and snow.

I thought I would jerk your chain just to see what the weather is.

Yes we are going to have snow here in Pensacola on Tuesday.

After spending a week in the coach I realized there is another factor I may need to address with the Jun-Air compressor. It is so quiet I never heard it all week and I wonder if I need to add an alarm for when I get an air leak and the compressor runs all the time?

I added an hour meter that I check regularly. Nice to know your average run time. Russ

I put a counter on mine just for that reason.

I did order an hour meter, the original meter quit a while back. I'll switch to the Thomas compressor when not living in the coach.

I had thought I could suck the oil out of the Jun-Air through the top "fill" hole but was unable to get a suction line in, upon removing the top of the case I could see why. There's no space for a drain tube. Just as well since most of the contamination had settled to the bottom and didn't come out until the compressor was upside down. There was also a small piece of vinyl or plastic that came out with the oil. Notice the springs on the case that the motor hangs from to isolate vibration. When turning it upside down you have to hold on to the motor to keep it from falling out.
