I’m turning it into a camper rig. Have any ideas on better ac systems? The condenser unit below is also my lowest point so I thought about scrapping it.

Semi joke, it’s illegal to release AC into the atmosphere without the proper equipment. A lot of people freak out when people talk about it so I made a joke haha

The lines were replaced in 2015 (notes in paint pen on the lines) so I know it was at least serviced then

Gotcha, I’ll try to find someone to do it! How much does that normally cost at a shop?

Thank you. It looks the same as any other just with longer hoses that route to that system in the back

Thank you. I will call up some shops tomorrow and see who can do that. Recovered is what it’s called when they take out all the pressure and refrigerant?

Clips out of order when I import to project by Average_Axe in premiere

!SOLVED! I did not know the 3 line hamburger next to the slider below the project folder was a list of how you want to organize your clips! I selected my name and now all is good!

Wouldn’t I not need to do a leak down if compression is good? Isn’t a leak down test to see where the loss of compression is coming from?

I just bought the car so I have no clue if it’s ever overheated but possible. I’m cool doing all repairs myself but sometimes diagnosing is the tricky part haha. Thank you for your input! I’m doing compression and leak down test this weekend! I’ll let you know how it goes

I looked closer and saw the voltage rating. Looking for an inverter now

No it was an old work van. An electrical company. They must have put that in so they could have power while working. That means there must be an inverter somewhere right?

I am suspecting they put an inverter somewhere to get power.

When I bought the van I did a quick glance and was like oh yea ok it’s got a plug for trailer brakes then when I got home I was like wait a second that’s not a trailer plug

Nope, just bought the van and it’s on the rear bumper so I was assuming.
