Air line broken...

Parked at a fairgrounds for a show this weekend. Started the coach up and after a few minutes still 0 air pressure in either tank. With the coach running I walked around outside and heard air venting from around the rear underneath. Sure enough, the main air line from the engine compressor to the dryer is broken right in half - looks rotted through. Called Coach-net and they are dispatching a mobile service today to get it fixed. I'll let you know how it works out with the company and coach-net.

At least it happened in the parking lot and not while driving down the road. Looks like I'm going to be replacing air lines as a maintenance item once I get it back home!

Have a friend with a 94 Newmar also. He has been debating the idea of replacing air lines, hydrolic lines and air bags because of the age of the coach. Hope they can get you fixed up.

I must say, all went well with the air line repair. I gotta hand it to Coach-net, they were fabulous to deal with and all went well. They hooked me up with Jim from Acmeans Mobile Service (330-957-7663). Jim headed to the coach this morning at 7:30am confirmed what he needed, called me to let me know the parts and labor price, I OK'd he returned and repaired it. When we rolled in he had the coach aired up, heater on, old air line in a bag and ready for me to get it back home.

The labor rate was extremely fair at $65.00/hr and Im extremely pleased with the service I had from both Coach-Net and Acmeans Mobile Services. Jim called me when he started and stopped so I knew the labor. I think 3 hrs labor laying on the ground in 4" of snow and slush on your back was more than fair. Jim has trucks all over Ohio and can handle most engine repairs on Cat and Cummins, all chassis and suspension repair and parts and even tire services - so please write his name/number down and give him a shot if you ever need him while traveling thru Ohio.
