I have finished my upholstery and was ready to take it out on the road
finally. The coach has sat since the great squirrel invasion of 2008... a
little over two years. I have started it frequently and even pulled it out
into the driveway several times from is garage storage. But sitting has not
been kind to the mechanicals... The alternator was squealing. I pulled it
off, had it tested and it was still good. I bought a new belt for it from
NAPA. I was surprised that the NAPA belt was quite sturdy compared to the
gates belts I had on it. After getting the new belt on and tight, it is
silent as can be and charging appropriately.
First problem: The right front brake is hung up. I drove the gas station
and back and it is hot enough to be smoking. Wheel and lugs too hot to
touch. Will wait until it cools and jack it up and see what I can tell.
Advice?
Second problem: The air system... I thought the pump was bad as it would
only fill to about 60 lbs. and it takes forever to get there. I came
across a Vaire some time ago and so I put that on. The system still only
pumps to about 60 lbs on it's own power. There is a brass fitting on the
bottom of the little air tank that has a pin hole right in the center that
is exhausting a small stream of air. I assumed this was a water drain but
doesn't seem like it should be letting out air all the time. The coach will
more-or-less hold air when in hold. I can pump it with the shop compressor
and fill to ride height. If I then put it back on travel, it will slowly
drop to 60 lbs even though the pump is running. Suggestions?
