Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks
- Replies (3)

About 3 weeks ago our coach had an air regulator start leaking. This regulator 
Is in the wet bay on the curb side. I think it supplied air to the bath area. I replaced it and all was good!! 
Now we have a new leak. It’s also a regulator!
This one is on the drivers side under the kitchen area. To What does this regulator supply air?
At What pressure should it be set?

Hi All,

The speedometer in the bus is throwing fits...works fine for a while then the needle starts to jump around, goes to zero for a few seconds then bounces back...
Did anybody with a similar problem have any luck in getting it repaired or replace it with a new one that can be programmed for the miles and works in the 95-200x vintage ?
The part number on is: VDO 1-211-012-073A 12V
Thanks. Appreciate any input.

Hi all,

I want to change the white plastic coolant tank (cracked) with a new CRS300 by Arize and have proper recovery.
The kit I found (new) , came without the radiator cap that I think is somewhat special....should have been included but it is missing...
Can somebody take a picture of that cap ? I think it is a 7psi radiator cap but I am not entirely sure.
Anything special about it ? I would appreciate it if somebody can look and confirm.
Thanks

Recently my leveling system became DOA. It would activate the leveling solenoids but would not activate any leveling function including all up or all down. I performed the trouble shooting steps in the System 680 troubleshooting guide, but no dice. 

It took about 4 days for HWH to call me back, since their system is a first in, first out lineup. Once on the line, the tech asked me about the diagnosis I had already performed, and we determined that I should ship back both the control box and the control panel. 

At first, removing the control box appears to be a daunting task because of the gajillion connections. I stole an idea from @"Pardue101", and used colored zip ties to ID the connection points. To get more options I used double ties, and mixed the colors, to get enough differentation for all the connections. I think there were about 25 or so connections. 

Shipped the box off to HWH, and less than two weeks later it returns. Total cost was less than 200, and that included 70 of shipping. 

Took about two hours to hook everything back up, and voila, it works. 

Hats off to HWH. Good folks!

I installed an air ride drivers seat for Rhonda. I removed the passenger recliner and swivel base. It needs a good home. The leather has been restored so it looks practically new. The color is Colonial Beige, otherwise known as Taupe. The chair is intact with the swivel base, electrical tilt and raise, and the mounting plate for the floor. 

The good news is the price is RIGHT, the bad news is that if you want it, you would have to pick it up in Inverness Fl.

Getting closer on the engine swap, now I have some electrical questions Mike is asking me and I need help to answer him.

The Cummins ECM, ZF transmission ECM and shift pad are all 24v. On the shift pad, a 10a 12v - 24v step up converter will work, but I'm pretty sure the ECMs will be drawing more amperage than a $15 step up converter is able to handle.

Right now, the coach has two 12v starter batteries, I was wondering if I could wire them where I could have 24v in the engine bay for the ECMs and keep my 24v alternator and 24v starter?

Any help would be appreciated!
