Auxillary Air Compressor

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Dan,

Tom and Mango are both right. There are two ways to deal with a leaky tire valve. The first is to replace it. Sometimes this is the only option, but the second way often works and that is to let the tire pressure bleed down a little so the air flow going back into the tire has a much higher pressure than the internal tire pressure. Sometimes this literally blows the offending piece of grit from under the valve seat. If the leak persists you do have to change the core, which is no big deal on all but the inner tires.

Bill,

I don't know why, but colder temperatures will cause leaks in the air system show up sooner. As time passes the leaks causing the more frequent compressor run time will be showing up in the warmer temperatures. Enjoy what now sounds like a very air tight coach.

Mike,

I think that manifold that is leaking is nothing more than a stack of brass "Tees". I think you can disassemble the whole thing and reapply some plumbers pipe thread seal and the bubbles will go away. You might have a little trouble getting the close pipe nipples out, but if you ruin them they are cheap and available at any hardware store.

WHAT!

I can't order this part for $983.22 from Liberty. Bummer.

ok, I'll go to Home Depot.

Thanks
