Need to replace air compressor on 2004 Summit

Post by MJH2004Summit »

My air compressor is a Parker 06f1c00021. It needs to be replaced. It seems the Parker company no longer exists. Does anyone have any experience with replacing a Chinook air compressors? What would be a good substitute?

I replaced the conpressor on my concourse. It was not easy. A year later the aircon broke again and I replaced the entire unit. Never broke again. If it were me, I'd just replqce the whole thing.

You were able to replace the AC compressor? I thought the AC is not serviceable except for the fan and little things like that. Anyway, I think MJH is asking about the air compressor, which the Concourse and Premier do not have.

Found this quote on another site, when searching your part number: "The Parker model number of you original is 06F1C00021 which is replaced with model 06F12AC"

Searching for this part on Amazon reveals: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007F ... 0DER&psc=1 which is not the whole compressor, but just a drain/filter part. Don't know why your compressor needs replacing, but if it is leaking at this component, this replacement part might fix it. Otherwise, there is probably another part number for the compressor.

I cant even find so much as a picture of it online. Can you post an image so we can get an idea of what might work as a substitute replacement?

Clay's link works for me.

It is just a canister filter that you commonly see on air compressor for filtering particulates and have a drain valve on the bottom to let the water to drain out. Most large compressors I saw have these components.

Parker still exists. When you see their prices, you'll probably wish otherwise.

Where is your compressor? I've never seen a Summit, but is there room to accomodate a different model? (I like the Parker Han stuff, pretty good, but get out your wallet).

That would be great if Clay was the one that created the post, however he isnt. The OP stated his "Air Compressor" is bad and needs replaced, not a sediment bowl or particulate filter. I dont have a Summit, however it is my understanding that at least some of them came with air assisted suspension systems, which requires an air compressor. Not sure where you guys came up with particulate filters, air conditioners, and this other stuff.

Rv Owner #1: The low/reverse clutch drum in my transmission is broken, its part number G3456789. Does anyone know where i can locate one? :?:

Rv Owner #2: Well i dont know anything about that, but heres a link to some brake drums for a ford pinto on amazon, try those. :geek:

It is amazing how these threads can get into at times :lol:

Clay was looking up the part number. I misunderstood you, dougm, thinking that you can't see the link, and commented on it. I think Clay knew it was just a part of the air system for the Summit. I would love to have a larger bathroom, but I am glad that i do not have to deal with the slides and the compressor that the larger Chinook owners need to deal with.

Oh, nah, i saw Clays post. I was searching the web via part number and manufacturer attempting to at least find an image of the compressor so i could help locate an alternative replacement. I have a heavy duty 12 volt industrial strength compressor on my rig but i have no idea where his is located or how big it is.

Sometimes i like being a smart alek, not sure if its caused by to many years railroading or the 35 mph head first impact my skull took in 2013. :? :shock: Some people think im just mean, i tell them thats not true, i almost saved a drowning man once, he was splashing around in the deepest part of the canal under the bridge i was standing on yelling, throw me something, throw me something... there was a big old tractor tire laying off in the weeds, thing must have weighed 150 pounds, so i pushed it over onto the bridge and rolled it off... probably would have saved him too if it hadnt landed on him. :shock: :o
