Thank you for the helpful advice.

We settled on 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD.

The first time we drove it after bringing it home was 90 minutes in this.

We have driven the old Green Machine so long that the Jeep almost makes me ashamed. I feel a little guilty parking a family member in the barn and leaving it behind.

We purchased the 2006 Envy Green Scion xB in May 2012 with 73,000 miles. It now has about 209,000 miles plus probably 140,000 miles being towed and several thousand in the tent trailer. It has carried two wheelchairs most of those miles and served as a truck for sound equipment on multiple occasions. It has done well.

Thank you again, friends.

TOM!

Is that your GM one ton to pull your new fifth wheel with? Nice rig.

Well, I was able to air it up and remove the line into the 12 on the valve and no air was present yet air continued to be exhausted from port 3.

Unless I am missing something that seems to clearly point at the valve as not closing completely. Hard to believe that a new valve would have the same issue as the one I removed?? Maybe next step is to order a new valve from Norgren and see if that resolves it.

Don’t forget to consider moisture or water getting into the pneumatic system and a hydraulic lock occurring to prevent full travel of the spool.

The greatest enemy of our coach air systems is water and it makes a reasoned diagnosis of problems very difficult.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I’ve

been worried for nothing!

Never checked my thermostat, but my Powertech runs about 160F.

Bill,

Don’t you have floor heat in your coach? That was pretty much standard in their upscale production coaches from around 2000.

Don’t know about why it was low on coolant, but that could be from over a fairly long period of time. If it’s not getting coolant in the oil I would look close at the injectors. An injector dumping fuel into a cylinder will make white smoke and with the loss of that cylinder it’ll run rough. 220 is a little high on the temperature but it probably has a 195 degree thermostat in it.

Aqua Hot has a 2010 Webasto burner .5 gallons per hour, but that’s when burner is running pretty easy on fuel, Where Propane is very explosive much more then diesel, and those Atwood and Suburban propane furnaces suck the propane. I’m a Aqua Hot tech so I’m partial to Aqua Hot’s

Another great Wisconsin company!!!!!

If they have a product, I think they’d make a wonderful advertiser on the PC Forum!

Maybe someone else can confirm this but if your sensor has one wire to the terminal on the sending unit, get a voltage meter and put it in the OHM position and put the positive probe on the terminal and ground the negative (black) probe to the base of the sensor or the engine block.

If you get a OHM reading the sensor is open, if your reading is 00 that might mean the sensor is closed or on to send the signal of temp.

I might have this backwards but most sensors that open and close can be OHMed out.

I have no idea what the proper OHM reading should be.

With all that said my assumption could be totally wrong.

Hopefully some one with more electrical expertise can verify.

Don’t forget I also used a cube heater pointed at the water tank and set to 500 watts. To a great extent the water absorbs that heat and when outside temps get lower than the cube heater can handle the water releases heat to the bay.

We could go a week of 20 below temps using only the cube heater in the bay and a 1500 watt oscilating heater sitting on the kitchen counter with all cabinet doors open in the kitchen and bath and never had an issue. I did not turn on the HW tank.

As I’ve mentioned, I looking for my Prevost. I’m confused, why wouldn’t you use fire for heat? I use natural gas exclusively for heating my house, cheap and heats great. Is there a reason you’re not using AH or Webasto? My wife likes to stay warm; electricity will not do the trick and be far too expensive; is there something I should be concerned about?

I don’t think I have electric elements in the Cruise-Airs.
