- reinolds753ExplorerHook up a large fan to the window of you coach and ensure that when you turn on the fan, there are no leaks to be seen; essentially, you have pressurized the coach. The pressure inside is greater than the pressure outside. Once the coach is under pressure, the air will try and escape and that is where you go around the coach with a bottle of soapy solution and spray every seam. If you see bubbles; air escaping the coach, you have a leak! Seal the seam with lap sealant and you are ready to hit the road.
I have pictures but don't know how to post them. maybe someone can help me do so. - bukhrnNomadDid one of the saddest things I can think of, to do to any RV, drive it home after 5 days at a beautiful lake in the mountains. :( :(
Oh well, it's less than 2 weeks till the next trip. :B - Desert_CaptainExplorer IIIGetting ready for our big trip so I took the C in to have the oil changed (pure synthetic) and the trans mission fluid changed to pure synthetic. While there, my local tire guys checked all 7 tires to be sure they were at 55 psi and they re torqued all of the wheels to 140# (they had installed my new Michelins from the recall 2 months ago). Unfortunately their transmission fluid change equipment was down so I'll have to go back in a day or two. :M I was hoping to wrap up this routine maintenance in one trip.... oh well.
When they finished I changed the oil and filter on the generator, cleaned and regapped the plug. I replaced the V-10's air filter with a nice new Fram last week. Almost time to start loading and hit the road. :B - crawfordExplorerI think they are asking how you did the pressure check?

Pressurized the coach and found three leaks. One that I could not find and the other two, I had no clue they existed.
Feels great knowing this trick I learned and it works. I am 100% certain my coach does not leak!
So what is your trick?
second that inquiry: WHAT trick??? - quietjakeExplorer"Wished we hadn't removed paneling at bunk." LOL!!!
know that feeling well.... - DSnappExplorerLearned how the inverter and converter tie into the electrical system. Fired up the stove and cook top. Fired up the furnace. Checked the AC unit. Did a preliminary check for leaks. Removed paneling at bunk. Wished we hadn't removed paneling at bunk. Cut boards for repairs at bunk area. Cried a little on the inside and thanked the Lord for the ability to do handyman repairs. Buttoned all up for the night. Stared lovingly at the grill on the 1972 Dodge Midas Mini.
