Air Dryer
#1

I finally finished the maintenance on my Foretravel late this afternoon in Nacogdoches. The maintenance folks moved the coach to where it can spend the night and then head for the lake Sat morning. When I went inside, I was low on air pressure and not building up air pressure at all.

After some phone calls and trouble shooting I discovered the pop off valve of the air dryer was venting air continuously. With the engine off, I slid under and using my flashlight to see, I pushed up on the bolt in the center of the pop off vent and felt it move up into its seat.

Restarted the engine, pressure came up normally and popped off at max pressure. Pumped the brakes to drain air pressure and engage the compressor and again normal build up and pop off at max pressure. Pressure continued to hold.

I will drive the coach tomorrow to get the local tire place to inspect the coach and install some hub cover mounting rings under the wheel lug nuts thus exercising the air system.

Question is, if all continues well, do I head for the lake as planned or do I wait till Monday when I have folks that will rebuild the dryer and arrive at the lake on Tuesday?

Thanks for your consul.
