New Chassis A/C 87FC35

[Alan]

A few months ago I posted that I wanted to get my chassis a/c up and
running. The summer here in TX is just a little too warm w/o an a/c
blowing on me, especially when driving into the sun.

Well, I'm happy to report that I was successful. I pretty much
followed the recommendations that Frank Wernlein put out in the files
section (called BB AC Notes2). Frank did a great job of documenting
the process!

I replaced:
a. Compressor
b. Condensor (New Red Dot 6260)
c. Expansion valve
d. New lines on top of the coach
e. ...plus a few misc parts
and converted to r134a.

I'm really happy with having it operational! I went on a trip a
couple of weeks ago and was able to go about 75% of the time with only
the chassis a/c and didn't have to run the genny (pretty good for July
in Texas)! The conversion to r134a seems to still cool really well
using the new Red Dot Condensor.

Best of all, I think the whole thing only cost me about $1200-1400. I
did lots the work myself, but had a mobile tech come out and flush the
lines and charge it. (He was cheap.) All the lines (except the ones
on top of the coach) seemed to be in good shape.

Thanks,
Alan
