    Just replaced the SR1 valve in steering bay I hope it’s the last one also replaced the big braided air line from compressor to air dryer ,, that will shut you down if it fails on road, I carry spare one in coach, I just took garden hose run it under coach in best place to measure how long it needs to be for repair on road and had one made for spare….. The new one I put on I got from prevost and ran it where the old one was , that is not a fun job …. I call it the blood test if you run your hand down the braided hose and you get blood on your hands it needs to be replaced ….. Because of the steel wire on hose it cuts your hand blood test LOL !!!!!!!The spare one is longer but I can put it on in minutes if the other one fails ,, and zip tie it up until I get to a place I can replace the failed one and put it where it should go ………

    Peter, I replaced mine a few months ago, it is a PITA to put it back where it was due to all the Adel clamps, and rusty screws that hold them.

    If that line goes, you ain’t going no where……

    It was a pain in the ass , but worth it, I put it back where it went before, I just made spare that goes in route to the back via the easiest route then zip tie up if it goes out then fix properly when I get some where I can do it safely and put the new one in back where it was if it fails hope not now that I put new one in,, I always carry spare and belts……
