Newell Coach Air Leak Hunt! Finding All Kinds of Surprises...

What happens here

The creator goes to a truck stop to acquire a replacement. He finds a brass push-lock fitting, noting that it's a newer, potentially more reliable brass style compared to the original nylon one. Back at the RV, he installs the new brass push-lock fitting into the air tank and securely reconnects the yellow air line. He then re-starts the RV engine to build up air pressure, confirming that the pressure gauge now reads a stable 120 PSI, indicating the leak on this side is successfully repaired.

Goal: Replace the faulty fitting with a new, more durable one

Tools and materials

  • Brass Push-Lock Fitting — Replacement fitting for the air line
  • RV Engine Start Switch — Starting the RV engine to build air pressure
  • Wrench — Tightening the new fitting
  • Yellow Air Line — The air line to be reconnected

this stupid mofo now you can watch me squirm on out of here again oh my god do i have any boogers in my nose this is where it gets tricky because i oh hand goes first when i lowered the front it lowered all this too which puts the nasty diesel tank closer to my face no no don't touch me no i'm shimmying out with my heels okay we did it so i'm gonna get myself mildly cleaned up fire up old elvis get one of them fittings come back throw it in and we will see if we fixed it i just went to get the fitting and they didn't have the true compression style fitting there i don't know where else i can get them for sure yet but they did have the brass style push lock fitting which i think is better than the nylon one so that's what i got and it's also not uh not as old as the original one so i think we should be all right and somebody brought it to my attention on instagram that how that wire loom back there was kind of melting from the compressor hose laying on it um you'll see that in my previous video if you haven't seen that yet go watch it they said that it's it's stainless braided main air hose line and said that it's super hot because the compressor is working over time to try to keep up with that leak where it shouldn't be running as much as it is generating that much heat which makes a lot of sense because that compressor looks like it gets really hot like the paint is almost kind of like burned off of it and i don't know like if that's normal or if it's just hot hot or like if i should think about replacing that thing too because uh yeah well that's the bridges across later but for right now i'm gonna hop on in there and get to it all right boys we're going in oh i can't remember how i did this i think i went in head first that's what she said okay we made it we're back my butt is incredibly itchy right now and i can't reach it oh man this is the worst thing ever okay we got that under control now [Music]
