Hi all,
Okay, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to air systems. (These can't be that complicated though, can they?!) My coach 120V compressor comes on every 5 minutes like clockwork. The leak(s) is so fast that I can watch the pressure gauge creep down the whole time. I mean, it's obviously really bad, and I would have thought I would just be able to walk around and hear the culprit based on what I've skimmed on this forum.
But, no luck. Even in a very quiet place, I've sat all around the coach and listened intently, and I can't hear anything. I also have no idea how the whole system is set up or how to start isolating. I can definitely get Newell to help me this winter, but I thought I'd start here.
Additional plot twists:
1) Sometimes, in the day time when it's sunny and the coach is warm, the leak disappears. Don't have enough data to tell whether it might be tied to a slide or some other configuration change.
2) I don't have a way to get under the coach safely.
3) I went ahead and ordered one of those ultrasonic Inficons, figuring worst case I'll still find that tool useful one day when I actually know a little about what I'm doing with the air system and want to hunt down more leaks. Seems like there's at least a chance it should find this giant, gaping hole somewhere, eh?
Thanks all!
Ben
