Workhorse a/c condenser
Hello everyone.
I am a first time RV owner and have learned a great deal so far but am looking to you veterans for help. My wife and I recently purchased a 2004 Itaska Suncruiser on a Workhorse Chasis. Everything works like new except the chassis a/c. When charged it immediatly cools great but leaks down within minutes. After hoping I would find an o-ring leak or a hose, I found the worst, condenser was leaking badly at the lower drivers side. This model also incorporates the engine oil cooler so it is ultra-expensive and I am even having a hard time finding one. I am a pretty good wrench and what I intend to do is install a separate condenser independent of the original. I realize this will likely involve some hose modifications but it would certainly be less than $1,500. Anybody know of a better idea or have any dealings with this? Thanks !
