This hose system was removed off our 2015 coach, thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.  It is leak-free and in terrific condition, both in color and integrity.

The blue nozzle is their previous model, and has faded some, but it's lubricated and works smoothly.  Their newest model is dark green and will not fit onto this clear-view section.

I hate just tossing this in the landfill, and am hoping someone will put it to good use; I think it'll serve many more years.

The collapsed size is considered 68", and will extend to 22'.

This is their updated hose, and it's features are:

  • Improved 4 to 1 compression ratio, i.e. each foot of retracted hose extends 4 feet. Our earlier Polychute hose was 3 to 1 so you'll notice this new hose extends farther than your old hose.
  • Sta Put feature- hose behaves like a bendable drinking straw. Pull it out or push it back and it stays.
  • Durability- The helical is on the outside of the hose with NO METAL wire inside making it “Crush Proof”.
  • Smooth Interior- Prevents waste from getting trapped inside.
  • Clear View Fitting- allows you to see when the tanks are clean.


MY HOSE HAS GONE ONTO NEW PLACES TO BE THE ENVY OF YET ANOTHER CAMPGROUND!!  THANK YOU!

I am installing a Splendide Washer/Dryer Model 2100XC into the location where the stacked washer and dryer were.

Anyone know if I need a 90 degree elbow to get to the clutch cable controlled vent?

Also, do i need a plastic drip pan. There is a hole cut in the floor of the closet that just drops into the bay below. Did it have a drain and if so, where did it get plumbed to?

The hole is in the middle of the floor just out of frame on the first picture.

Thanks,

So, I was going to install a typical Silverleaf system, but I really wanted to NOT have so many cables to deal with and I wanted a bit more OS flexibility...like Android. I have quite a few extra Asus Tranformer TF700's to use and they work great.

I ordered a Bluefire from https://bluefire-llc.com/store/j1939j170...id-adapter (if you want APPLE OS compatible you will need -->https://bluefire-llc.com/store/500k-j1939j1708-ios-adapter

Then I had a special cable made up by http://obd2allinone.com/allinone.asp The owner is Ken Siebert and he was EXTREMELY helpful. The cable from goes from the 12-pin ALDL (Daewoo) style connector in our Newells (J1708) to a 9-pin Deutsch that would accept the BlueFire dongle.

The adapter cable was around 40.USD. That was all I needed. The Bluefire Dongle and the cable.

I setup the software and installed the dongle in my front console I removed the dash connector and reinstalled in UNDER the dash pad on the left side and ran the Bluefire dongle through a hold so it sticks out into my console interior. That wasy I can see the lights on it for diagnostics is something ever goes wrong.

Connected it to my Android laptop via bluetooth and Voila! Lots of information to play with at my fingertips. Worked flawlessly on the 2000+ mile trip from Albuquerque to New York.

I am working on custom Dash presentations now...it's very customizable, but worked right out of the box.

I will add some photos when I can

Does anyone know the brand and model of the articulated arm water faucet in the wet bay? Mines missing, and the plastic one is not worth the plastic it's made from.

Thanks!

Attached is a (admittedly bad) photo of what appears to be another valve behind and to the right of the Dupree Air operated dump vale.

What's it for?

Thanks,

Attached you'll see an odd hose and ball valve with a T to a water hose fitting in my aquahot bay. It's odd because the ball valve only close one side of the T and the plastic plug the other side of it. Of course, it's leaking.

I have NO idea what it's there for. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks!

In my 1996 the Headlight dimmer is mounted along the column below the actuating "stalk" I believe it's bad and needs to be replaced. Since it's pretty accessible I'll give it a shot.

Attached is a couple of photos. Anyone know the part number for it. There are quite a few that are similar in appearance, but have differing part numbers.

Thanks!

Hey all, 
This may or may not be a big deal. Yesterday I went to take my coach out for its weekly drive. When I started her up, I notice that the break air gauge had a different reading than the supply air gauge. This has never happened. They always read the same and climb at the same rate after I start the engine. the break air gauge was showing about 80 psi the supply gauge was at 0.

I went out and walked around the coach. Everything looked normal and for being parked for a week, the body height was about where it always is after this amount of time. I took my tire covers off and went back inside. To my relief both gauges showed the same reading at 110 psi and everything was fine. Took it out for a 30 minute drive. Everything felt fine and drove/handled as expected.

Fast forward to today. Went back to coach to do a follow up on the gauges. Same thing. The break gauge was at 100, the supply gauge showed 0. Again, did my walk around and it was sitting up just fine. I started the coach. It took about 1 minute and the supply gauge caught up to the break gauge.

any ideas? Should I be concerned?

Thanks, Tony

I found this while searching for myself.  I have no affiliation with the seller.  Perhaps it's already been listed here (if so, feel free to delete my post).  Just thought someone might be interested.
