Ruptured seal/bladder around slide
Posted: January 3rd, 2022, 11:23 am
Ok so last night I was walking out to the RV and I heard a noise like the generator was running, I knew I didn't leave it running so I started checking and it was the onboard compressor. So then I ran my hand around the slide and I could feel air rushing out right in the middle on bottom of slide where the rod pushes out. The compressor was hot and I couldn't find a breaker for it on the inverter or fuse panel so what I did was there was a fuse connection inline right next to the compressor, so I pulled that fuse and it shut off. I hope that doesn't ruin anything. I don't know how necessary that bladder is and or how hard to fix. I actually can't see the seal from inside or outside. My Chinook has had quite a lot of work done prior to me buying it and one of the things I remember is the computer and compressor for the slide was one of the big things costing something like $15K. I don't live close to the company that originally did the work but I am not sure if it would be worth calling them and asking if they could help? Any tips? Its a 2004 Chinook Glacier 25Ft. I have had it for about 2 months now. Also i have heard these rigs are air ride equipped. Will this effect the driving/shocks?
