Hello,
Could anyone tell me what they get fuel mileage on average with the Cat C-15 625BHP 12 speed ZF.
i seem to be getting about 5MPG which seems a little harsh! averaging around 65mph.
Thanks
Rob

Good morning,
I am slowly getting some repairs and maintenance completed on our recent purchase of 443. Can anyone suggest where to purchase the gas shocks for the storage and engine compartment. It is very unhandy to prop them open with a two by four.

Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks
- Replies (15)

Hello folks,

Need some help. Time to turn my attention to some of the air systems inside.

2 of my 3 air pocket doors open and close with a "bang" at the end of the travel.
The door leading to the bedroom does not make any noise. Operates smoothly.....but the bedroom to rear bath bangs, and the rear closet door bangs as well.
Can not figure out what is causing that cylinder or mechanism to make that noise. It is like a metal clank on a striker plate. Both when closing and then on opening.
I watched and felt the air solenoids when the door is operated. They allow the air to go through fine and at the end of the travel the cylinder bangs...the very end. No bang in or near the solenoid...all up by the cylinder inside the upper door....of course.

I am running about 25 psi on both regulators that feed the slide seals and toilets.
Are the doors fed by a different regulator somewhere ?
I am hooked to power, inside a building and the 110V compressor is active maintaining about 90 psi in the Aux air system.
The compressor starts when the air gets down to about 75 psi, runs for 1.5 min and shuts off when the air gets to 90 psi. It cycles about every 3 hrs, so I know there are some leaks I have to attack.

Any ideas ? Anybody has had this happen to theirs ?
Thanks for any suggestions

My front drive side slide will not extend. Pulled into the site, left the engine on, the coach was in travel mode, turned the HWH key to the on position. The orange light came on after about 45 seconds. I pushed the extend switch, and nothing happened.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to begin to trouble shoot this issue?

A few years ago I taped Rudy's lecture on Aqua-Hot, made of DVD of it and have been giving out copies.  At our last rally, I gave away the last copy I had thinking I had one on my computer.  Wrong!  I have had a recent request for a copy from one of our Gurus.  I am requesting that someone mail me their copy, I will make more disks to fill the request and for our next rally, and it will return the copy.  My mailing address is Chester Stone, 1200 W. Mariposa Rd. #9, Nogales, AZ 85621.  Thanks

After getting #1 rear compressor running as posted on a different thread, I set about to install the heavy duty relays and am posting photos of my work.  But first, when I started disconnecting all of the wiring going to the front A/C unit, the connector going from the board to the #1 compressor was burnt and pulled out of the control board.  I soldered in a new, but different, connector and here is a photo of the burnt connector.  The compressor was running correctly before I started so I guess I should have installed the relays much sooner.
   


Attached is a schematic drawing that shows how the relays were to be connected, and with the help and confirmation by Richard.

Seattle and Vancouver B.C. metro areas, and prefer a smaller coach.
