air toile compressor is failing - Robert Rahn - 01-09-2009 04:19 hello everybody its been a long time since weve been on here. we are still in our 88 pt 40 and have just completed another perfect around the country trip. we had no problems at all and got great mileage pulling an old range rover and a lot of gear. i am totally amazed that this thing can get almost 6 mpg when my big block old truck back home doesnt do much better. anyway we are parked in warner robins ga for a few months and I noticed the little pancake compressor for the air toilet is running a lot longer to ger t up to the pressure it needs. it is also making a slight rattle sound that it used to not make while running. it is a microphore toilet and the compressor has that brand plus the name thomas on it. does anyone know if this can be rebuilt? thanks for your help.

After spending over 400$ to buy the first replacement from BB, we went directly to a Thomas distributer for #3 at about 245$. That 1st replacement from BB lasted nearly 5 yrs. #3 we shipped backed to Thomas last fall for a warranty replacement and it is in storage until #4 goes down. Fortunately #4 is still running but we have found that we have to drain/purge it frequently to eliminate that awful noise. It seems to require it more when you have high humidity or fog. Thomas can't explain why they fail, they just refer you back to their distributer. Otherwise the microphor has been OK. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Robert Rahn" > > hello everybody its been a long time since weve been on here. we are still in our 88 pt 40 > and have just completed another perfect around the country trip. we had no problems at all > and got great mileage pulling an old range rover and a lot of gear. i am totally amazed that > this thing can get almost 6 mpg when my big block old truck back home doesnt do much > better. > > anyway we are parked in warner robins ga for a few months and I noticed the little pancake > compressor for the air toilet is running a lot longer to ger > t up to the pressure it needs. it is also making a slight rattle sound that it used to not make > while running. it is a microphore toilet and the compressor has that brand plus the name > thomas on it. does anyone know if this can be rebuilt? > > thanks for your help. > > Robert Rahn > 88 pt 40 > Kalispell, Mt > air toile compressor is failing - brad barton - 01-11-2009 03:03 My 2000 LXi just has the small 12v compressor, no pancake tank. Not that we didn't have trouble with it. Ryan rebuilt it when we bought it, then we eventually had it replaced. Finally, we both found a small air leak at a fitting under the lavatory, on near the wall and one near the toilet. I am convinced those toilet air pumps wear out from overuse because of minorleaks in the air lines. Since they pressurize only briefly, the leaks are hard to find. The quiet 12v pumps probably run when we don't notice them. Our Newell didn't have a 12v only the main 110v aux compressor. It was not only huge and loud, it wasbolted througha boardontothewall ofthe engine compartment about 16" below the nightstand on my side of the bed. And with air-leveling bleed-off and the leaks in the other air lines, it rana couple minuteseach hour all night. After the first night, I was ready to take it back. We eventually moved it up front. You mighttighten up the systemby hooking a separate air line onto the pump, putting constant (not too high) pressure through the lines and finding the leaks probably in some valveor fitting somewhere probably hard to reach.

Check it out. air toile compressor is failing - timvasqz - 01-11-2009 04:20 4 compressors shot may prove compressor motor is not the problem but the result of a problem that need attention. 1--Could it be that the limit switch on the 2nd and subsequent units is set to start the motor when there is too much psi in the tank, run the psi too high top end? if the tank is too small; time run from startup to shutoff/psi-reached may be too short of a period to run the motor and cool off the initial start up stress wonder if there is an electronic device that could gateway startup if voltage was under a given variable. could be that psi limit switch now starts it up for more pressure but the battery voltage is too low to spinn so the motor just humms and burns up 2-- Could it be that the 12 volt supply is messed up. 3--If you do a chloreen test on the discharge from the tank, lack of will prove the water to be condensation. trace will prove other prob 4. I would ;fit a larger tank, ;mount a relay prompted switch near the head (Momentary switch under the seat is trick), ;if belt driven, change ratio, or ;just park near a tree GregoryO'Connor ofTim&Greg 94pt RomolandCa |
