Hi Fred thanks for your advise, I take a look at at the receipt for the last
repair order on 4/30/02, the mechanic evacuate and recharge the A/C system,
and installed leak detection dye in the A/C system. I should be able to see
the dye at the leaking site, what does it look like? Now I am having trouble
removing the cover for the A/C relay and evaporator area on the rear top of
the camper. Do I need to remove the whole rear closet?
