Dash ac recharge on class a diesel pusher
Just turned dash ac on this past weekend. It blows cool but not cold like it used to. Is it easy to charge yourself? This is a 2006 coachman cross country. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Something else that can fail on some coach A/Cs is the heater water valve. If it begins to get sticky, it will not fully shut off and will preheat the incoming air to where the A/C cannot get it fully cold. Lots of things to check.
X2. You can buy a 134 freon recharge kit with a gauge...$20. Put it on and you can see if it needs more freon which is likely since it is still cooling. One can will be enough to recharge it almost into the red (to much) which could last for a couple years even with a slow leak. The system will cool well over a fairly wide pressure range.
That is correct. I'm going to assume that this is the first time that you have had to add freon to a 10+ year old coach. It may be just a very slow leak and the addition of a can or two of freon may last you another 10 years. On the other side, yes an AC tech MAY be able to find the leak, at $100/hour as he traces your freon lines from front to back. Personally, I'd go the cheap route first.
