Hello all,
While I was under the coach working on Air Force One install this morning, I decided it would be a good time to drain any water that might have accumulated in my air tanks. The rear tank has the pin that you push to manually drain the tank. When I pushed the pin (maybe to hard), it recessed all the way up so that just the tip is barely visible and did not reset. I tried to show it in the picture but it’s hard to see.
Not sure if this matters but since I was working on the air system, I had already evacuated all of the air from the coach.  
Will the pin reset when I air the coach back up or am I going to do something else to fix this?

Thanks,

Tony

I knew it was not working but wanted to replace it with a victron bluetooth programable unit and use the 12 gauge wire going to the rear that connects to the engine batteries. I found the problem using my cheap wire chaser, they never hooked it up! So if anyone needs a new old echo charger it will be at the no rally rally on the 30th.

Made a visit to Rudys yesterday to have the Aquahot serviced and had a great time with him and his wife.  If you have not had the chance to visit with Rudy then give him a call or better yet go check out his new ‘campground’ on a grass farm South of Houston.  Great people and fun to visit with - oh yeah, and we cured what ailed our AquaHot system!

As I am going thru and creating my maintenance log for coach 385 I was checking the date codes on the tires.  I looked at the air valves for the tag tires and was a little perplexed.  Now that does not take much, but how am I easily supposed to check the pressure in the outside tire, and why do they run the Shrader valve back this way.  The cap does have a spring loaded center section, I am just not sure why.  New to pushers and Tag axles.  Also would like to get a TPS monitor unit.  So here are my questions:

What is needed to check pressure?  Is it just a double headed pressure gauge?  Of coarse I have a nice single headed one.
Do I read thru the spring loaded cap or remove the cap as normal.  Not sure if I can get my sausage fingers in the little hole that easily.
What TPS system will work with this set up as is, or does something need to be changed?
What is a air multiplier when filling tires up, to get over 110 PSI if needed?  Is there an alternative method.

The link is to a photo of my tire.

I'm not positive of the source, but I'm getting leaking over the top area of my hydraulic tank.  So, I'm starting with the Cap.  I can't find the vendor/part info.

This is the tank:
   

And here is a closeup of the cap:
   

Hopefully, someone has some info on it for a 2015 class coach.

I've tied paper towels around the site-glass and get a bit of oil out the vent hole...wouldn't think this is normal and hasn't been a problem before.

When diagnosing my Yanmar generator issue, I had the need to check the compression on the engine. So I built a compression tester using an old injector. 

Here are pics. 

If you ever need to borrow it, let me know.

I’m on the hunt for a good quality LED light bar to install in the space in the door to the generator compartment which is 36” wide on my coach. This is a perfect place for a single row LED light bar about 30” wide.  I want it to have great light output but not blind others coming towards me.  I know there are lights with diffusers built in that help in this matter. I have seen others using 2 separate LED lights for this but I would like a single bar rather than 2 lights. I would like the light color to be adustable or at least change from white to amber. Combination of spot and flood beam…
Any suggestions would be great!

I found these one on Amazon:

Here is an amber light: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B96GBQRL/ref...RydWU&th=1

Anyone know where I can quickly source tie rods for a 1999 -478? The shop says I need them (no boots and are loose) before wasting money aligning… this trip is getting expensive.

Anyone going?  We will be in the reserved RV area at the far end near the stage. Please come by and have a beverage or a bite with us if you are in the area.

Cheers,

I have rented two 40ft. RV's and driven each one approx. on 1500 miles trips. Both trips from Kentucky to Oshkosh dry camping. We absolutely love this mode of travel. Looking to get into a Newell or similar Prevost conversion. While I dent know much I've have learned I don't want a newer production coach over a 2008-2012 model Prevost. Learning a a lot useful information from this site. Thanks!
