A bit like throwing darts blindfolded and the cost of missing the dart board can be painful.
Next time find a service center that has a Sealtech leak tester. I have seven near by including a mobile tester that will do a test for about $150 last time I checked a few years ago. Haven't had a need as yet but something I keep at the ready if the day ever comes.

The unfortunate part of this thread is the OP could have bought a Sealtech blower for 1/2 the cost of the repairs.
For anyone who stores their coach off site you need to check on it at least every month. Between leaks, thieves, urban outdoor people, animals and the dozen other potential problems that left unchecked will quickly destroy any rig be it a pop up or a 45' custom conversion. |
OP may have his hands full and not able to get back, because a lot of the advise is too late for him, but I will say this is very good information
I had no idea about this technology, I almost broke my monitor trying to get the CW guy to quit talking and show how the machine works
What I have learned is that the 2 repair companies for OP could not have known what they were doing if they were simply looking for an obvious visual leak. Poor, little, innocent, Thor Motor Coach corporation is once again getting bashed
To me this is the type of stuff you spend your money on versus relying on $5k - $7k extended warranty to fix stuff that was not properly maintained.
I will ask my dealer about this technology, or if they do something similar.
