Cruise-Air parts.

[Mike McMahan]

I'm not an ac guy but I had to have a compressor replaced on my 82 PT
40 cruise air unit. My next door neighbor(an ac guy)looked at the
compressor after I pulled the unit out and said that is the same
compressor that is used in a water fountain. I don't know if it is
or not but the unit worked after he put it back together. Did not
cost much. Mike Mcmahan 96 42' Wanderlodge
