WARNING: Ford F53 chassis AC hose
JUst a public service announcement for those of you who have a Ford F53 chassis. I don't know if this problem is applicable to every unit or every year, but it takes just a minute to check your unit.
I had a 2018 Holiday Rambler and the cab AC was blowing warm air. I investigated and found one of the AC hoses had rubbed against a self-tapping screw used to attach the passenger side headlight bracket. All the Refrigerant leaked out. I was able to cut out the damaged area and splice the hose back together again, then recharge the AC. BTW, 44 oz of R-134A and 8 oz of oil.
So if you have an F53, you may want to check. The damaged hose is extra long so some reason. Sorry, I deleted the pictures I took.
