a/c hole size - emc2jb6 - 05-12-2006 09:36 DRU- WHAT PERFECT TIMING TO ASK THAT QUESTION. I TO AM ABOUT TO REPLACE MY MIDDLE A/C UNIT. IT BIT THE DUST ABOUT 6MONTHS AGO AND ITS UP NEXT ON MY TO DO LIST. ITS ALSO THE ORIGINAL UNIT. WILL BE REPLACING IT WITH A 15000 UNIT. WAS GOING TO THE LOCAL RV STORE TOMORROW TO START RESEARCHING THE HOLE SIZE AND WHAT UNIT I WANTED TO INSTALL. I JUST FINISHED SERVICING MY TRANMISSION. REPLACED FILTER AND CHANGED THE FLUID. I ALSO DROPPED THE PAN JUST TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE INSIDE THE ALLISON. IT HAS 21 CAP SCREWS THAT HOLD IT IN PLACE AND WAS EASY TO REMOVE AND REPLACE. A NEAT THING I FOUND IN THE PAN WAS A MAGNET ABOUT 2 INCHES IN DIA. IT IS GLUED TO THE PAN BOTTON SO IT CAN NOT MOVE ABOUT. THE PAN WAS SUPER CLEAN AND JUST VERY LITTLE ON THE MAGNET. SURE DID GIVE ME PEACE OF MIND TO SEE HOW NICE IT LOOKED INSIDE. ED&PEGGY MCSTAY "LONESOME DOVE" 35' FC-RB LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA a/c hole size - dru penland - 05-15-2006 01:30 My middle a/c is the only original I have left. Trying to keep the originallity of mine, but I don't have a problem having a more efficient clean looking a/c ! I just got my bird a couple of months ago and have been changing anything fluid and rubber. I've bought many filters and am still looking for the Bendix replacement for the air compressor. I got tired and did not remove the pan on the tranny, but it was totally replaced less than 12,000 miles ago. I placed a fresh spin on and did a pan fluid flush. However, what came out looked brand new. I just got finished replacing the four front air springs. That job was the pits! I have her jacked up to replace the rear four, now. I got her for $16,000, so I figure I have some latitude to spend some big preventative maintenance money on her. I've asked the question about the high vacuum on my Racor. I've been told it may be the Facet pump. I have some investigating to do there. I'll tackle that after the air springs. We are planning to long haul it to Minnesota this August. I want to make it a successful trip, with NO hose breaks! I'm not sure what else to anticipate being a problem, but this thing is built BEAUTIFULLY! I'll take all the luck and prayers anyone will give me in making this first big trip successful. I have to convince my wife that I made a good choice, LOL. Been looking for one for 5 years and I know I've done the right thing. She just kept looking at all box junk on the market and could not understand my infatuation with the ol' bird. I think she's coming around, however. She likes the attention it gets at the park! I'll shut my wordy self down, but I wish you good luck and a cooler interior! emc2jb6 wrote: DRU- WHAT PERFECT TIMING TO ASK THAT QUESTION. I TO AM ABOUT TO REPLACE MY MIDDLE A/C UNIT.

Our Bird is very dependable, It always returns us to our home with another list of things to replace or upgrade. A new Facet pump added a signifcant increase in fuel pressure, Apparently the old pumps will still work for a long time, at a weaker pressure. We can not replace every part, but after two years of ownership, the high pressure hose on the power steering burst. Spit red goo all over the street and driveway. It split at a point where the hose makes a turn exiting the pump. It did not leak but it always had a drop of fluid hanging at the fitting. THis is easy to see under the front right bumper. Fortunately we were home. This is not a repair I could do on the road. Bill 88 FC --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, dru penland wrote: > > My middle a/c is the only original I have left.

I'm going to look at that next. Can't imagine not having some assistance to turn. lol Probably doing an injustice here, but I kind of dropped the ball on changing hydraulic hoses and the like. I have replaced every hose containing cooling water. What about the transmission lines and fuel lines? Might as well ask about air lines, as well. pattypape wrote: Dru, We did the same, changing lots of fluids, filters and rubber hoses.
