Checking Check the airline from the compressor to the air dryer

[Ivylog]

While on our trip out West, it took longer than normal to build air pressure in the morning and took more rpms to get to 120 psi. While Monaco tried to support the SS braided air line above the transmission that runs from the compressor to the air dryer, it could still vibrate and wear a hole in the line.
Had to grind the SS burs off so my patch of tape and split water hose might seal. Used all the serial clamps I had and while not pretty, it didn’t leak.

While under there check all the hose supports you can see and make sure they can’t move.

Thanks for posting. I have seen slow pressure build also and have not checked the line. I'll be doing that very soon.

Did you use 'Rescue Tape' under that garden hose?

Should have explained better: put a fair amount of E6000 glue over the hole and into the SS braiding. Wrapped about 3” wide of Rescue tape around the hose before putting the split water hose  over all of it. Got motivated to put the correct size spiral camps I’d bought on since originally posting this.

Rescue tape is amazing stuff for hoses and pipes 👍!

Every RV'er should have a roll aboard!

Looks like a good emergency repair.
I hope you're replacing the hose asap.
Summit racing and Amazon have various lengths of AN hose assemblies.  You should be able to find a length that will work, and they're not overly expensive.
