AIR SYSTEM ??

[GARY MINKER]

Your air should be at 120 psi in under 10 minutes at idle from empty. If you leak faster than that, have the entire machine gone through with an ultrasonic leak detector,,, NOT BUBBLES. gary 85pt40 --- On Mon, 1/10/11, Don Bradner wrote: From: Don Bradner Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: AIR SYSTEM ?? To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, January 10, 2011, 12:01 PM I really don't know how long it takes to air my coach up with the engine because I never do it that way. My startup procedure involves using both block heater and aux air pump from the time I get up on any morning I'm going to travel - that way I can just start and almost immediately roll.
