Newell Coach Air Leak Quest Continues! Finally Making "Progress"

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before starting any repair work, the creator ensures the RV's air suspension is fully deflated to safely access the undercarriage. Once under the vehicle, he identifies several air lines with foam covers that are chafing against a metal frame rail. To prevent future leaks caused by this friction, he plans to install a split piece of heater hose over the metal rail, acting as a protective barrier for all the lines.

Goal: Ensure safe access and prevent future line damage.

Tools and materials

  • Flashlight — Illuminating dark areas under the RV
  • Heater Hose — Creating a protective sleeve for air lines

i just have to get under there and do it i'm back under here now before i get started on anything i noticed that these lines here these foam covers are kind of chafing on that piece of frame rail so i'm going to fix that before they uh they rub through and start leaking i'm not even sure exactly what they are but um playing the preventative maintenance game my plan for that is i'm just going to take a uh i got a piece of heater hose split it down the middle and i'm going to lay it over that um top of that angle angle iron there to protect all of those from chafing with one single piece instead of going through and re-wrapping all of the lines
