Hi Dan

This is something I was told by my father in law.  Most people have
to have their AC recharged every spring because it 'leaks'.  Actually,
because you don't use your AC during the winter, all the seals dry out
and crack.  Then you fire it up on the first warm day and surprise!
If you use your AC all year (obviously if you live up here in the
North like I do, you use it VERY sparingly during the winter), then
you won't have this problem.

I guess this falls under the heading of "Use it, or loose it"

PS: I don't know if this is true, but I've NEVER had to recharge the AC
in any vehicle I've owned.
