Power in storage

Dehumidifiers can create more water than you may think. So, keep a close eye on the tank level.

If it is parked inside, is humidity inside the coach an issue? I'm in South Carolina so I don't know what you are up against. . . .

The owner of the storage said there are 3 Prevosts, 1 Newell, 2 Monacos, and his personal coach in the building which is each bay has their own garage door but there are no partition walls. He said it does not get down near freezing, and due to high roof, they do not have humidity issues. One of the Prevosts is a 2016, and the owner is worried about the electronics and pays extra for 50amp. So, if I determine I need it then I can pay extra for it, but if the other high end coaches don't need he extra power, then maybe I do t either.

I have a leak in the front right air bag and really did not know whether it was the 6 pack or somewhere else.  Steve Bare encourage me to put together an air leak isolator.  I do know that Tom and Richard and others have made one.  I would encourage anyone that is looking for leaks to build one.  After attaching this to the air pressure line coming into the 6 pack and attaching the other end to the 6 pack, then cutting off one side from the other and waiting 24 hours, I found that my leak was not the 6 pack but elsewhere.  When I did find it, it was in the worst possible place to get to.
It was leaking where the 3/8" hose attaches to the cross member tank.  I need to have arms 3' longer or need to be the size of a cat.  I am still in the process of figuring out how to go about this repair. 













I forgot to post a photo of the Isolator.

Thanks for the pictures, worth a thousand words :-)
