AlainD Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Anyone know of a good shop to recharge an a/c on a cummins engine near Lake Wales Florida or around. Tks !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidL Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Any AC repair shop for auto / trucks. Nothing special. Easier than a car. The issue will be "where did the freon go?". If you need a recharge, then there is a leak that needs to be repaired first. And how do you know a recharge is needed? Sounds like you need basic AC diagnostics first, then if low charge, to find the leak (the hard part) and then to repair the leak (depends on what it is) and THEN evacuate and recharge. The only thing that is different from an RV to a Car is: The hoses are longer, the parts are generally more accessible on an RV, and the control systems are generally simpler on an RV. The downside is the shop has to want to work on a long vehicle. Edited March 2, 2023 by DavidL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacwjames Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 When I bought my rig in 2008 the AC didn't work. I bought one of the refrigerant recharge bottles and put it in and the AC took off. It was probably low enough that it prevented the compressor from kicking on. It lasted for +10 years. Had to recharge it again in 2021, so if I have to do it every once in a while I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlainD Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Tks !! I do all the service on my coach,and I see the compressor still turn, my concern is always how much freon to put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 If the compressor is turning it probably just need a little refrigerant added. As Jim stated above, you can do that yourself. Walmart or any auto parts store sells kits to do it. Just add until the needle is in the green. RVs are notorious for seeping refrigerant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
