Does anyone have an opinion on pressure testing for leaks on our RV? cost is 65.00 at their location and 80.00 if they come to me.

If someone would find all the air system leaks for eighty bucks I'll be at the head of the line :-)

Sounds too cheap to me are you sure theres not a catch? oil change required or something of that fashion. I would think it would take at least an hour for two people to do a proper job. And the Seal test machine is not cheap. Of course you can do it yourself If you can produce enough air volume.

Is this Water?? I did my own leak test. I simply drained the Tank to a lower level and added Food Coloring, use a neutral color like Blue NOT Yellow!! Now turn on the Water Pump and look for the leaks the Food Coloring will help identify the source.

Around here the cost is $150 and well worth it. A leak can cost you thousands. I'm assuming you are talking about pressurizing the RV and not the plumbing?
