Compressor Pressure and Microwave

[none]

Has anyone dumped the old microwave and put a newer model in recently? My
wife Loma wants to know what model fits the opening and stands up to the
automotive vibration. My question involves excess compressor time to pump up
the airbags. At ten minutes from zero pressure that seems excessive. When
I'm up to full height, the gauge reads 85 pounds and the compressor doesn't
shut off. Does it sound like time to purchase the compressor rebuild
kit?............Jim Davis

Jim:

Although I still use the original microwave, here is a web site where
you can find a microwave oven: http://rvcatalog.com. Scroll down the
left side there and look at both: This Months Specials and Major
Appliances, for their microwaves.

Jim... I checked my compressor by using the test that John Clement
uses. If you connect the compressor up and turn it on to pump it should
hit 120 lbs in 60 seconds. If it does not, it needs to be rebuilt. If
you need his number, let me know.

If I remember right, and I seem to have more senior moments, he
disconnects the pump from the system, connects up a guage and turns it
on... times the compressor and sees what the number is in 60 seconds.
It was very simple and he did it for all of us who wanted to know what
was happening with our compressors in the Las Vegas GMC Internatioal.

Are you connecting the gauge directly to the pump or to the tank? If to the
tank than it makes a difference if you have the type 1 or type 2 tank. In
addition it makes a difference whether the line from the tank to the
leveling controls is open or plugged. The only sure way to check it is off
the coach with all of the outlets plugged and check for leaks before
checking the pump.

I am sure that all of you know that the new rebuild kit for the Dana
compressor contains a new valve and stainless steel spring to replace the
flapper valve. At the last rally Ed Daniels had modified one of the old
heads to do the same thing. I found the correct valve and springs at Home
Depot for less than $1.00..With this modification it will pump up the small
tank from a cold start i about 32 seconds. Anybody think that this would be
a good project for the tech page?
