My 90's Newell Coach: 7 Things I Hate..and 7 Things I Love! (6 Months of RV Ownership Thoughts)

What happens here

The RV suffers from 'perpetual air leaks,' a common problem in older air-suspension coaches. The owner has successfully fixed some leaks on the suspension side, but the 'supply side' (air for doors, toilet, etc.) still has leaks. From a DIY perspective, this means an owner should be prepared for ongoing leak detection and repair, utilizing specific repair kits and techniques for air system components.

Goal: Address and manage ongoing air leaks in the RV's suspension and supply air systems.

Tools and materials

  • Air line repair kits Various — Repairing damaged air lines and fittings
  • Soapy water spray bottle N/A — Detecting air leaks by spraying on lines and fittings
