Air System Problems-Lazy Days Tucson

Yahoo Message Number: 84088
We're having a problem with our air system. We are on our way to Tucson, should be OK to travel that distance. If I can't easily diagnose and repair, will need to take it to a repair facility.
I've used (and liked) WW Williams in Tucson but not sure if they are the ones to handle a Motor Home pneumatic problem since it involves HWH leveling.

Has anyone used Lazy Days there? I was not impressed with Bedaudry!
Here's the problem, not sure I have all of the correct info since we are in a dirt lot at an Elk's Lodge in Amarillo. Problem is the when running air system seems normal, both main and aux air running at about 125#. Doesn't lose air while running, compressor kick in and shut off are normal. The problem, when I shut off the engine the rear settles in about 5 minutes. When I fire up, everything goes back to normal. I've listened for leaks around the dryer, purged the tanks, no H2O. Considered the dump valve, found the relay valve but couldn't find where it dumped. I'm losing about 40# of pressure over night.
Have a few other tests to run before I have enough data to ask for any thoughts. Should have a place in Tucson to do a little more evaluation. Won't have a place to really work on the coach if I can't easily spot the problem.
At this point I'm looking for info on Tucson Lazy Days. I'll call WW Williams and see what them say about working on a MH pneumatic system.

You should be OK to travel as long as you can attain proper ride height which you indicate you can.

Contact Eric Olstrom at Premier Motor Coach in Tucson. PH 520-661-8914. They have a pit in their shop and can get under the coach to check for leaks. Eric was in the Service Department at the old CC and has a couple of good techs working for him. I had a problem on the air side where the line from the compressor to the tank broke fee from a bracket and caused a leak. They had me fixed and new hose in about 3 hours. Got great service

personally I would try Premiere Motor Coach SERVICE, 520-624-2024 or Snyder Mobile RV Service first, 520-940- 5438. Eric at Premiere and Chris at Snyder have a long history working at Country coach. Chris being the more experienced of the two and the most knowledgeable. If you want to try Lazy Days, make sure Bob Snooks is your Tech of choice, other wise stay away. Bob worked with Chris from way back when and took over Chris's position as regional service rep for CC when Chris returned to Junction City to be Service Manager when the company was in a bind repairing Inspires with faulty slide rooms etc. Bob worked on my 98 Allure each time I visited the factory with Chris being the team leader, from time to time. When I bought the 04 Intrigue it was Chris in Tucson, with Eric that maintained my coach again along with Bob at Beaudry. When Chris went to CC as Service manager is was Bob who kept things together in Tucson, When Chris formed his own operation after leaving CC and before Beaudry went under, I started using him as my service specialist. He very honest, upfront, and gives quite a price brake. He has connections throughout the industry and can answer and help you with 99% of your problems.

Joe,

I had a similar problem, mine turned out to be a leaking hose underneath the driver's side of the coach near the front left tire, not sure which hose but it was diagnosed and repaired in a few minutes by the foreman at Creative Coach in Lakeland, Florida. He could hear the air leaking when I shut the engine down and he crawled under the coach and found the leak in about a minute so it will probably be a quick fix if you have a similar issue. I think they charged me for the hose which came to less than $10 dollars, that was a few years ago. Of course a technician can take longer than that to find and fix the problem, depending on how many other jobs he has waiting. ;-)

I agree. Call Premier or Chris. If they think you need heavy chassis work, they will get Williams involved. I must say though, I have had really good service from Williams.
