Leaking pressure regulator
#1

This pressure regulator on my coach is leaking (a lot). I don't know what it goes to. (Maybe front slide?) It is located on the driver's side in the basement air compartment. Does anyone know what it goes to, AND what pressure it should be set at?

Thank you,
Alan Johnson

Looks like a slide seal pressure regulator. I'm not at my coach now. From memory I think it's 12-15psi. It doesn't take much pressure to seal the slides. I'll check what mine are when I get home.

you should consider doing the vacuum pump mod to suck the seal flat when putting it in and out. there is a thread about it in the forum

Alan,
The vacuum pump mod was the first thing I did to my RV. It was under $200 and it took me about 3 hours from start to tested and all cleaned up. What took me some time was a work around from drilling holes in the basement wall to secure the pump. I ended up using heavy duty velcro to stick the pump to the wall. It is a great piece of mind when I move the slides. I think I'm avoiding the big cost of a rolled slide seal every time I operate the slides now.
