IT IS ONE OF 3 THINGS:

1. Electrical – unlikely, a switch or fuse?

2. Mechanical – Bent or dirty (or cold) mechanism

3. Pneumatic – Most Likely – Is there air pressure in the AUX system? There is an electrically controlled air valve in the compartment under the drivers feet. Does it function? There is a pressure regulator nearby just for the step slide. Maybe increase the pressure a little. This likely will help if you can coax it in or out with a hand or foot.

Good luck!

Thanks John,

The step cover moves freely, it just is always out. We have pushed it in and wedged it closed (mostly). Are you talking about the Aux Jun-Air compressor? I have air showing on the dash “A” gauge.

Is the compartment under my feet accessible from the left side?

i have two additional Royale questions: 1. Does the Aux Jun-Air run anything? Book only says it to inflate things. 2. What is this oil can supposed to be used to oil? See photo.

P.S.

Buzz and Nancy are good friends of ours from Tiger Run.

Thanks for for your suggestions.

Yes, the A gauge is the air for suspension and air-power things in the coach (step slide, slide seals, driver’s seat, etc. It is supplied by the engine when running and Jun-Air when stopped.

Is the compartment under my feet accessible from the left side?

Just open the side door under the drivers side window. In my bus the air valve and rgulator are pretty deep in the compartment and toward the front.

i have two additional Royale questions: 1. Does the Aux Jun-Air run anything?

Book only says it to inflate things.

See above

2. What is this oil can supposed to be used to oil? See photo.

Jun-Air is an oil-filled compressor. You should use the oil can to top off the compressor and keep oil level in the sight glass. Use the right oil. Also, the Jun-Air does require some maintenance to keep water and oil out of your system. Reach out to Royale Phoenix for supplies and info.

John, thanks again for the info. I’ll be working on it tomorrow.

Dan, yes, made it to Casa Grande today. Will call you about getting together..
