auxilliary air compressor maintenance
Ron,
Sorry you are still confused and hope I haven't added to it. --- R J > Thanks again John, I'm just not a mechanical guy and > I'm still confused. > Actually, when I tried it again, the 110 volt > compressor came on 1st and then a minute or so later > the 12 volt one kicked in. Great! That is the manner in which I believe it should work. > I don't have a clue how > they might be plumbed but the 12 volt one seems to > work independent of the 110 volt one.

My guess is I should look for some leaks and fix 'em. That will be the next project. > I don't understand why the 12 volt compressor is > even > necessary what with the engines compressor, the 110 > volt auxilliary compressor, the inverters and > generator. Typically, the 110V compressor is not on the inverter so you need the 12V compressor whenever you are not connected to shore power or the generator is not running. > Maybe a shut off switch on the 12 volt > is > the way to go. Just save it for when all else > fails? When our 2000 was new, BB replaced the 12V 4 or 5 times under warranty. I thought there has to be a better way, especially when it became my nickel. The switch was simple, cheap, and I haven't replaced a 12V pump since. > Your further thoughts and advice appreciated. Glad to try and help. I think you have it.
