Our coach has a leaking front Ridewell 7423 ride height control valve. Other posts remark that the King of the Road K870005 & K870006 are a replacement for the 7423. The King of Road valves are either left or right arm part number dependent, otherwise the K870005 and K870006 are the same valve body. I also read that in other coaches the front valve is a RH valve. My picture below reflect's how my valve is mounted in the coach. The vertical rod on the left is attached to the center of the front axle beam. Given how it's mounted on my coach, I think I need a LH arm PN K870006 for the front HCV. The details for the valve on Dayton's site say that if the control arm is longer than 7 inches that other valves should be considered. The control arm on my valve is 12 inches.
Question is, does what I have look familar to other coaches of same year range and the K870006 will work? Even if control rod is 12 inches.
