FR3 2015 30DS R134a Charge Amount Sticker Worn Off

Anyone have a 2015 FR3 30DS? I need to know the charge amount posted on the back of the black Tempo AC unit to the left inside the grill area. It would be very helpful. I had to replace the compressor, TXV, and accumulator this weekend as they were full of burnt compressor oil. I really appreciate it.

I have a 2015 30 on a 2014 F53 Chassis. I can only give you what’s in the ford manual.Click image for larger version

May not be the right numbers.

The ford manual would work for the stock a/c system but Forest River installed the Tempcon system and its capacity is different. The sticker is on the back of the Tempcon unit up to the left inside the grill. 1.74 doesn't get the pressure up where it should be. Thank you for the information.

Your welcome, I’ll take a look at the coach when I go out there tomorrow.

Ford spec is 2.75 lbs. So you must be somewhere in between.

You might try charging your system, by just using the suction side pressure gauge, IF memory serves me right, at about 80 +/- it should be about 30psig.... Or you can charge by temprature differential... I hope you pulled a vac on the system, and checked to make certain it's solid (no leaks)...
