Forgot to mention the air supply for the pressure switch comes off the manifold because the line where I think it was originally installed was ahead of the check valve and that line pressure goes to zero quickly because as Peter mentions the Norgren water trap bowl seal is notorious for leaking.

It is far easier for me to explain at the coach so if you are coming to the events I listed above I can show you.

A picture will not help. All the air hoses look the same.

Here is what I did. First I removed what Liberty installed. They come out of the compressor to a solenoid valve that opens when the compressor runs, and closes when it shuts off. That valve functions as a check valve to prevent air from migrating back through the compressor and leaks to atmosphere. They also have a “spitter” in line also. Both are removed and I now go from the compressor directly through a Norgren water trap like the one inside the door that Prevost installs.

From the trap I go through a check valve into a manifold similar to what Liberty installs. The manifold has all the Liberty house pneumatic functions, plus one line feeds back to the Prevost accessory air tank. When the accessory system is charged that is the source of air pressure for the house functions. When the pressure drops the compressor kicks on, goes through the water trap, into the check valve to the manifold, and from the manifold back into the accessory air tank.

Does that help? The hard part is identifying the air lines and verifying their source and where they go.

Of course…explains no slides…punishment!

I apologize for asking so many questions regarding the installation of these two water heaters but since we are in the battle…. we cannot determine why the coolant will not flow through the heat exchangers in the new heaters…

We have the heat exchangers full of coolant and with the engine running… the solenoid valve we believe is activated… the coolant does not flow….

We have all of the visible faucets open…

The picture below displays a red handled valve near the Webasto and the red handled valve is open. The picture also shows a black container-looking device perhaps like a “modulator valve” that is near by. The strange thing about this device is that the hose on the engine side is “hot” while the hose going to the front is “cold.” Does any one know what this black container device is or what it does ??

Could this device stop the flow of coollant to the water heaters? If so, what opens the device?

Thank you again for your attention to this inquiry,

We will see ya’ll tomorrow!

Doesn’t this operate on a sort of in-line “relay” or “phaser” that builds and releases electricity? I assume then if that is correct, that there has to be one or more of these in the circuit. Having said that, I have no idea as to how you would research it or find the defaulting part.

I am certain you will get an answer soon.. I look forward to reading it..

Howz about this. Y’all print out our picture, don a pair of aviator sunglasses and as you move around the show ask folks “Have you seen this couple?”…That would be a hoot!

Kinda like Dick’s Prevost hat thing too. ;^)

I will if you will.

All,

Again I appreciate everybody taking time to provide comments and suggestions on traveling with children/grandchildren.The information was very helpful.

The amount of kitchen counter space in most coaches I’ve looked at is a far cry from what I’m used to at home. The double basin sink has a small side and a large side, but only the small section has a cover. Fortunately the small section is closest to the stovetop, so that with the cover in place, I manage to have somewhat adequate counter space for food prep. The stove only has two burners, but there’s another spot across the aisle where I can use a plug-in single burner, or electric fry pan, crock pot, etc. When we are in the bus, I tend to cook more one-pot or two-pot meals. The food prep is kind of like… chop up the onion, put it in a bowl, put the onion away. Chop up the peppers, put them in a bowl, put the rest away. Measure out the pasta and set it aside. And so forth. Then get out the pans and start putting things together. Each task tends to get done individually because of the lack of counter space.

I do miss having an oven…a real oven, not the microwave/convection thing. When we’re away from home, there’s no baking going on.
