Yes, it's working, I owe you a photo or two update...although finish work and ducting not yet complete, the map pockets removed served as my primary outlet at the moment...I confirmed I get condensate dripping through the drains (a concern since the evaporators are vertical), I didn't check for other condensate leaks. I still need to wrap the TXV with the gooey black stuff to keep it cold. As you may be aware, my brazing attempt was an utter failure, and used a summit aluminum AN compression fitting designed for aluminum and a flare fitting, I'm not sure I'll keep it this way, but it held after 8 hours of driving including 5 hours in 90 degree weather last week. I was vacuuming system And preflighting and dewinterizing an hour before our trip to Abington, MD (Bar Harbor RV park)
The decision to add solenoid was somewhat based on accessibility, it was a tough go routing all that hose once crimped, and probably would have added a union or two anyway. Similar to the dash air, I wired the 3-speed switch ahead of solenoid so fan can operate on its own, but needs to be running for the solenoind push button to function.
