Hi Debbie,
Thanks so much for your feed back. I will pass it on to Herman.

Well, it was the main air line from the compressor to the dryer what busted on my 1985 PT40. Not amenable to field replacement, since the compressor is on top of the Detroit and the line runs behind the engine.



So the compressor is now rebuilt, a newly fabricated line is in place and all other air lines have been chased/tested; she airs up in 5 minutes now. [The original symptom was variable airing time, until she refused to air up at all.] Best case scenario, the cruise control will also work now....



Fresno, California - Fresno Texas is 15 miles from me, wish I could refer you to my shop. Me, I realized all along that I was setting myself up to deal with 27-year-old rubber...

> I appreciate any help you can give me. Have a 1982 Wanderlodge PT40. It has been sitting for 4 years. Have a buyer who came form Texas. He installed new batteries and she fired right up. The problem: the air compression didn't kick in. It was working perfectly when parked. A portable air compressor was connected to the rear line and the rears and tag lifted but not the front end.

> The new buyers were baffled and not familiar enought to solve this and time frames forced them back to Texas and the Bird still sits in Fresno.

> By the way while sitting the batteries had been disconnected but the coach was used by direct electrical hook up for lights and electric only in the coach. Maybe a relay or switch or valve has failed. I can't advise these buyer/mechanics. Please I need your feedback.

> I understand Randy Dupree and Ralph Fullenwider are the main experts and I would more than welcome any of your feedback for my buyer.

> Anyone else that has good or creative thought please contact me so I can connect you to Herman the buyer so he can bring his new bird home to Texas.

> I greatly appreciate any help you Wanderlodge wizards have.
