Title: dash a/c hoses replacing them, is there an easy way? or how to? 36 foot 1 way!
Post by: poolenglish on July 25, 2014, 01:04:01 pm
My dash air conditioning on my u240 does not work. my a/c buddy traced it down to leaking hoses (not just the ends); both of them that go from front to engine.
Is the a "method" for replacing them? I have access to the new hoses by the foot....but how do I string them. the undercarriage of the coach is covered. any ideas would be appreciated! thanks everyone!

You will drop the "ceiling" metal trays from the top of the basement.  I would leave the old ones in place (at least in the basement) and pull the new ones.

mr wolfe;
so you say I can access the ac hoses by dropping the top (ceiling) from inside the basement? and leave the old non-functioning hoses there? thanks a ton for your experienced help!
 I will have a look at it tomorrow.
I was hoping to use the old hoses to assist pulling  the new ones in place.

They are usually laid along other hoses and wires and then have tie wraps around them, not very easy to use the old hose to pull the new ones as some of the wire ties are in places where you can not get to like above the holding tanks.
