Hi All. The dash AC system in my rig was converted to R134 sometime in the past 5 years or so. The PO then replaced the R134 with Duracool (HC-12a). My AC still blows nice and cold, but there is a leak right under the front hatch on the high side where there's a T feeding refrigerant to two evaporators - the stock one and an auxiliary unit installed under the dash in the coach. I can see bubbles coming from the connection and there is oil on the lines. I've had no luck getting anyone to work on a Duracool system. I guess they're worried about liability. Do I need to buy an evacuator, tank, and vacuum pump and repair this myself? Is this what most of you do with Duracool?
I have no AC experience, but I guess there's no time like now to learn something new.
