Title: Help - Ideas
Post by: Charlie G on February 15, 2018, 05:06:04 pm
Went out today and came back and hearing the 12 compressor running and was not shutting off. I pulled the fused and am hunting around trying to find a leak, not much luck. What I am hearing is the the solenoid valve cannot tell which one yet hearing a rattle. When I close the valve on the block it stops..  Any ideas where to look?

Time to check your slide seals.

If you have a problem with having too much money, that problem will get better.

Assuming the bladders were the same age, I'm shocked at MOT for not suggesting  a replacement of the Living room side at the same time!

your year is easy to replace but you will have to get your measurements to HWH and they will have to make one up for you. Your coach slide will push in a couple inches and you can remove and replace the bladder pretty easily.

Dan, did you save money because FOT could push slide in, and not have to pull it completely out?

I had the living room bladder replaced by Old Town Motorcoach last year but the bladder and other parts came from next door at FOT. OTM did push the slideout room in a few inches.  "Normal service" and Slide Bladder replacement, Old Town MotorCoach Nac (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=30356.msg262431#msg262431)

Four months ago I had the bedroom slideout bladder replaced in Oregon. They preferred to remove the slide to do the job. (In our coach design not much room to push the bedroom slide inward).  Replaced bedroom slideout bladder at Oregon MotorCoach (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=32588.msg292469#msg292469)

What kind of patch...........can you elaborate?

  The leak in the bladder was dead center bottom by the guide. Was able to clean and use a patch and adhesive as if you where patching a tire tube. Let sit overnight and was able to to cycle and it held. Slide is in now and will stay in until replacement.
