Harry,

Looks like I can see some dirt in that last picture. Now I feel better!

Thanks for the pictures. I hope I don't need them but if I do they will be a big help.

Just what is the purpose of the Top Cogged belt? I don't see anything for the cogs to mesh to.

Bob

Here's the belt story directly from Dayco.

"The Dayco Top CogŪ V-belt delivers more flexibility, and increases airflow around the belt, so it runs cooler and lasts longer than competitors' V-belts."

Maybe I need check my Dayco replacement belt. Maybe it is a top cog.

For those of you with the rear radiator coaches, here are some pictures of the A/C compressor adjuster. There is a large jam nut that needs to be loosened and then the threaded shaft can be turned with a small wrench. There is only one adjuster on the compressor and there is one long pivot bolt on the curbside lower ear of the compressor. Does this mean I have to take more pictures and get the wrench sizes?

.
Naw, just come over and change out the belts

Thanks for the pics. I got a half a..ed look at the alternator slack adjuster. Your pics really help confirm what I thought I saw.

Mark,
Put this in your file, so you know how to replace the belt.

The compressor pivot nut/bolt location.

Well people I was under My Rv today to find out, that i have single pulleys on My engine and all are lined up for a single belt---My manual says there's two but no pulleys for the second belt!!!!! Still a big thanks to Harry for his picture, at lease I can figure a way to hook a single belt up---Now I just have to find a total measurement of inches to buy the correct belt!!!!! I have a 92" on right now that doesn't include the air pump!!!!! Thanks to all.

Knew that Harry, wished I could have "sweet talked" you into doing it while I held your cold beer!!! Kidding.

BTW - my spare compressor belt is a top cog. Thanks for educating me again.
