Hello All,

I would like to ask if I should replace my in dash air conditioner hoses? They are 43 years old. The coach has 8,000 original miles and has been kept indoors for 43 years.

The hoses look good on the exterior and I am going to charge with Dura cool. I also installed a new Sanden compressor and tank.

If the hoses need to be replaced, does anyone have the part numbers for all the hoses?

Take care and thanks for the input,
Tom K.

I would not replace them unless you have a leak in them. They are not something that is going to leave you stranded if they should start to leak later.

Ken,

I made that statement about if they fail it is not a safety issue. I will pressure check and rock on.

Thanks again.
