Does anyone know a good A/C shop in the Kingsman, Arizona, or Las Vegas,
Nevada area?
Driving into metro Tucson in the 100+ degree heat about 5:00pm yesterday
there was a loud "BOOM" from the passenger side of the engine compartment
as we were creeping along I-10 in clogged traffic. An oily residue coated
components and wiring under the passenger side access panel.
Except for the A/C, all other systems were operating normal.
We are on our way to Eugene Oregon, where we are expected to arrive by
Monday noon. I did not attempt to locate a shop yesterday, as by the time
we got through the traffic jam blocking the interstate, it was already
closing time. We chose to drive on, but the heat was brutal! Thank
goodness we had the curved plexiglass wind scoops for the toll windows, but
the offered little relief in cooling as the temps rose to over 110 degrees,
and did not drop until sundown. We continued on for some 300 miles until I
finally got off the road in Kingman, Arizona at the Walmart around 1:00am
this morning.
Without A/C I dread driving in this heat. The GMC is literally like being
in an oven.
If no one has recommended mechanics for Kingman, we need to get back on the
road before we loose all of the lower temps of morning.
Hoping someone knows someone here in the desert Southwest,
Vern and Lenore

Vern,
I can't help you with a shop in that area, but my daughter and son in law live in North Las Vegas and My son in law might know where to send you. His name is Robbie Schut and his number is (3 two 5) six one two - 99 two five.
Good luck. In the meantime, can you run your roof air? I don't remember if you still have your Onan or not, but we do that all the time.

I have not been able to start the Onan for almost two years. There are a
couple of auto repair shops near us now, and I'm headed to one now to see
what they might tell us. If no luck here, I'll call your son in law a call
and we will head for Las Vegas.

Vern,
Have the shop tech call me as I can talk him through it and save him time.
Onan gen being an older unit can create issues that can waste time in
analizing.
