Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks

Here is an excerpt from the Indiana CDL booklet on air brakes. It might be helpful:
Procedure to check air brake system-
Begin with air pressure at or below 90 psi.
1. Let air pressure build and check that the governor cuts out between 100-140 psi.
2. Turn the engine off, turn the key to the "on" position so gauges work and release all brake valves. Fully apply the foot brake to see if the air pressure drops no more than three pounds in one minute.
3. Fan off the air pressure by pumping the foot brake to see if the low air pressure alarm activates at approximately 60 psi.
4. Continue to fan off the air pressure. At approximately 20-45 psi the spring brake push-pull valve should pop out.

If you would like to learn more stop by your BMV office and pick up a CDL manual. (they are free in Indiana) Even though a CDL is not required for RV's there is a lot of useful information in the manual.

In order to prevent possible brake damage do NOT depress brake pedal while the Parking brake valve is activated. (Pulled out)

One of my 93 coach's bay doors isn't tightly closed on the lower leading edge. I can see no obvious adjustment, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I thought I would ask here before I go to the factory. Is there a way to adjust the closing of the doors.

365 factory upgrade options.. Ok at factory asked them about the upgrade and price.. All you must do is turn down the studs and get the proper tires and wheels.. Make sure you don't need to modify the fender flares.. It's only 10grand if you have zf suspension and they have to replace the hubs.. If you call Newell they will give you the name and number of the place that turns down the studs for you..

Here are three HWH manuals that will assist in understanding, troubleshooting and fixing problems with HWH hydraulic slides. A synchronizing cylinder is used with the two cylinder salon slides. The bedroom slide is a one cylinder mechanism.

Hope this is helpful........................

Bought a Rhinoflex sewer hose, however it's bayonet fitting is smaller than the coaches. Is there a 'off the shelf' hose with fittings that will fit the Newell?

I have crack in the bottom end of my muffler. I have done a forum search and found some good information. One thing was take it off and have it welded, which I probably will do. But first there is one thing I would like to ask and that is fabricating new stainless pipes and flex pipes to fit a resonator instead of a muffler. When I had a Foretravel and belonged to their forum this is what a lot of the owner were doing. Not as much back pressure and claimed to get better mileage?? A stainless steel resonator will cost under $200.00. At the time I checked, they were about $150.00.
I don't know it just a thought.
