Recharging A/C

[smily]

Well,
I am by no means any kind of refrigeration guy but I know that whenever a system is checked by the pros , I know the first place they "Bubble" check is the fittings.

Now this is only speculation but I cant help but think that many AC manufacturers expect that their units will "never" need re-charging.

I suspect that there is a nominal savings with no fittings.

And if there are no fittings, the user would surely need the services of a Professional who had knowledge of sweating fittings and recharging (gotta keep it in the Clan)
But I guess the user friendly "pierce type" connector was not familiar to all who seeked AC assistance.

IMHO

Unless you have one of those "limited production painted Airstreams"!

Hello everyone--This thread has been an excellent resource (as usual). We have a '75 Excella 500 and the A/C unit looks original. Any idea what brand this is? Or does anyone know where to look to see what unit this is?

Anyway, I have the AS in the shop to check out the axles, brakes, etc., so I've asked them to check out the AC. The good news is its an AS dealership so hopefully they know what they're doing.
