My 2004 Holiday Rambler has developed a squealing noise. My local Rv dealer wants to install a new ac compressor for $1500. I need another opinion and don’t know who to trust in my area. I’m willing to drive a reasonable distance to get a through inspection of the problem and another estimate. I’m located in Bath PA zip code 18104.

If I were you, I would just call a regular AC tech and let them check it out and tell you what it needs to be done. The dealer is probably the last place that I would go.Jerry parr

Before paying 1,500 to repair it, look at buying a new one.End of season coming and a lot of sales going on. You can get a new one and installed for less than $1,000.

Get up on the roof,(Be sure to take a can of silicone spray with you.) remove the four phillips head screws holding the shroud on and remove it. Find the squirrel cage and look at the shaft where it comes out of the motor. You'll most likely find a good amount of dirt and lots of rust. Clean the shaft and squirrel cage of any debris and dirt and liberally apply the silicone spray. Have someone turn on just the fan, no A/C and see if it quiets and/or stops completely. If it quiets, turn everything off, clean the shaft and cage again. Spray again and try it again. These A/C units are probably the most neglected part of our coaches. They should be lubed just like your coach, at least annually....Dennis
