Hey Rastaman, looks like you have a considerable project for yourself too, but I imagine you'll be done long before me.  I won't have too much free time to work on my Clipper, but hopefully when it's done I'll be able to take her down to FL. :D

2,pressure washed coach ...(i can't work on an ugly veheicle)
3.preliminary clean inside of coach.(cant work in mess)
4,replaced spark plugs...wohla...now runs smooth...
5, changed fuel filters.
6, replaced voltage regulator....now charges...coach battery too
7, pluged in shore power..A/C compressor tries to kick on...but wont
(NEED HELP HERE) :?:
8,pump works,but supply line leaks. water everywhere but bath sink faucet, (suspect clogged valve..no biggie)toilet lose on floor, but works, tank gauges work.accuracy yet to be determined...Inverter appeares to be working.lights work,voltage to coach battery.
8,fridge condition undetermined at this time.(how does one check it if only connected to power briefly?).
9, repaired roof leak around fridge vent,,,,temp. seal other vents too.
10, replace brake master cylinder,,,developed sudden leak.
11,removed non working dash a/c evaporator....more space to see motor

Things left to do....check rear wheel bearings and change fluid....anyone checked bearings before??
Will need new tires before a "real road test.
I am quickly becoming an expert...all in all hasnt been too bad...would be better if i didnt have to drive 30 miles to go work on it,,,but its at a garage so that helps...i want to get her mechanically ready before moving her....
Summary...NEED HELP with roof a/c....compressor tries to start...but doesnt then kicks off,,,then tries again.......
