[Ole]

I am not sure if your mechanic has tried the suggestion of airing up the six pack manifold.

He did report that putting shop air to the quick disconnect port in the rear did not air the coach OR show air pressure on the supply gauge. That was one of the clues that the PPV is stuck.

We are all willing to help. Please keep in mind that the armchair quarterbacks are no better than the detailed information provided.

I appreciate the pickle you are in. The coach will not raise, and hence will not travel.  You can help yourself tremendously by reading the first few pages of the HWH manual linked in the related posts on this subject and taking the time to watch the videos on the air system. This knowledge will help you as you troubleshoot the issue. Even if you find a tech willing to travel to the coach, the likelihood of them knowing the Newell air system is very slim. The point is you may need the knowledge on the air system to point them in the correct direction.

Have you read the two posts that your mechanic already made on your coach’s issue? Also keep in mind that the readers/responders have not been privy to any conversations between the two of you. Again we are glad to help, but the old adage garbage in = garbage out applies. The help is no better than the info supplied.

Thanks again. So the mechanic I called up in Chicago area went out to try and help me out today. His response was and I quote, " Hey man. I'm sorry but I cannot figure it out really what's going on with your bus. The best way tow this bus to dealership! It's crazy system too many electrical solenoids! I don't wanna spend your time and my time! Sorry" LOL :   

I told him and even sent him a picture of the PPV valve and its location and he only spent time looking at the solenoids. Anyway maybe he wanted to "figure it out" himself but at least he didn't charge me the $200/hour. Anyway, I'm doing what you suggested and I've watched the videos on Newell Air Systems and read the HMW leveling manual to try and understand the systems as best I can. I'm ordering the PPV valve and I'm going to hire a mechanic while I'm there on Monday thru Wednesday next week to try and troubleshoot this thing myself. Thanks again and I'll let you know if you were right.
