Coach: Fleetwood Expedition
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): Cat C7, Allison 6spd
Miles: 26,000
Year:2006
Break Down Description: I had my first breakdown the 2nd day I owned my motorhome. Fortunately I noticed it I the driveway before I started my vacation. One of the air suspension lines was punctured.
Symptoms: The sound of leaking air and a low air warning buzzer anytime the key was turned on
Effect: Nothing really, the compressor created more air than what was leaking out, but it was working harder than it should and could have gotten worse
Cause: Unknown. The air line had a small hole in it and appeared to melted around it a little, but was on the inside of a bundle of several lines and inside the frame rail. I'm guessing it was damaged when the coach was being built but didn't start leaking until recently.
Outcome: Cut out a small piece of the air line and repaired with a union fitting. Total cost $62, but only because I decided to buy a kit with several fittings and the tool to cut the hoses properly.
I went through some of the posts in here, but never found any report about it like the first post had mentioned. Was there ever one put together? Anyone know where I can find it?
