Ultra-Sonic Detectors

[wrongagain]

that little unit will cost you,................ $1600.00 more or less.
and then, since it is truly made in canada, the ups man will tag you about $50.00 for some c.o.d. customs tariff nonsense.
but, on the side of "strange but true", it even found a leak that I couldn't find with soapy water.
who knew.

I have this one.

At the time I bought mine it was $322. You can save money by eliminating the sound generator, but as Ed correctly points out it helps show openings not easily detected. Place the generator on the co-pilot seat and from the outside the leak detector will tell you where the door seal is not making good contact.

These are not the answer for finding every leak, but they are one of the ways to detect leaks.

I haven't done my door seal air leak yet, but let me tell you, that thing screams when the air lock is not on, it is only a mildly annoying whistle otherwise.

I'll bring mine along to Tennessee too, I can't remember which brand (but it's not one already shown here). It was also in the $300 range when I bought it. I'll post a picture and info when I pick the bus up next Thursday at DD in Savannah.

Ted, After a little searching on the site, I see the price for the standard is $899 and the deluxe is $999.

[wrongagain]

I also questioned them about that posted price.
you are correct, but to get all the stuff it is $1599.00

I asked my Snap-on guy about ultra-sonic detectors and he talked me out of one and into buying an electronic stethoscope which has worked very well for me. It will be interesting to compare these various gadgets at SV.

Thanks, Dale. Not as bad as I expected, but I think I'll mooch off Jon while at Sevireville.

Well that $1599 is as bad as I expected. Sticking with the above plan.

Dale, your new bus is a gem. Nice ride, man.

I can attest to the use of Jons Detector. We found 2 leaks in Norgren Valves that were internal, that had never surfaced with soapy water. This was in Stewart Florida in Jan 07 and my bus behaved for several months, -- now it is leaning again after about two days. Time for another check up.

Brian,
What brand of electronic stethoscope did the Snap On dealer sell you?
How much did it cost?
