Larry, that is a 2 position, 4way valve. It’s model # 41v. If you can’t find it anywhere close holler and I can possibly get one to you. Just email me to let me know.

The turbo boost sensor if I understand it correctly is just what it says. It is the means by which the DDEC knows there is turbo boost because the delivery of fuel to the engine is dependent upon boost and fuel is delivered in proportion to boost. No boost, no or very little fuel which means you cannot develop enouigh power to drive.
Why do you think it is acting goofy? Sometimes a throttle position sensor can make it seem like the TBS is bad, and the TBS can sometimes make it seem the TPS is bad. A reader is required to sort things out.
As to brake chambers I am still awaiting some answers from Bendix, including their recommendations on time or cycle intervals for brake chamber replacement for preventive maintenance.

No wonder she doesn’t like your music, when you order your music on your rotory dial phone from the
Smithonian and drive to the post office to pick it up in your (New 1950 Ford) she has a right to be concerned !!!!!!
OH, you don’t need to know Steve, you wouldn’t like him.

Watching your coach being built would be like watching someone make sausage. It is not a pretty process.
But the knowledge and information gained during the process would be priceless. You would get to know where every single out-of-sight device is mounted, from the burglar alarm to antenna boosters, to all of the devices relating to the control systems, to the flush valve for the toilet. You could photo document the entire process so you would know the location of the wiring, plumbing, and all the various devices you don’t see, but that control everything.
You would get to write with a Sharpie on hidden surfaces what the devices are for. You could write your name so 100 years from now the owner would know you were there.
But to the folks working hard to build your coach you could also become a major pain in the ass.

Robert,
I understand completely. You are working in a different arena than we who use ours as a motor home.
I actually can feel your pain because if you have your coach all set up with the latest and greatest some one will come along and want Amazon instead of Netflix or they will want the TV to link up with their home security system so they can see if their pot stash is still safe or some other additional complexity to an already complex system.
Our complexity becomes second nature for us because once we learn it we are OK. We may have to make a phone call or two before we realize to reboot the system we need to turn off the rear outlets, but once we learn things we tend to use them properly. You on the other hand as your coaches keep pace with the latest and greatest are going to spend time when you could be sleeping teaching your customers how to operate the various features without breaking something.

Liberty uses a really nice exhaust blanket but they also use very flimsy exhaust which I replaced with stainless hose that is very flexible.

When we sold our Vantare a few weeks back, we wavered a little on the price but not much as during the 3.5 years we owned it we were constantly updating it, we replaced EVERYTHING that was needed on a 15 year old coach some things we thought should have been done at 10 years old or less, it was a great learning experience for us and an expensive one, but with that being said we ended up with a great bus and the new owners are thrilled with it.
So if one is looking at 10 year old coach there is a lot to look at from a maintenance standpoint… we had NO clue what we were getting into at the time.
It took a little longer to sell than we had hoped but our location isn’t good and financing on an older coach was tough for some possible buyers, but we stuck to our guns and as I said the new owners are thrilled with their new ride… and other than normal maintenance they shouldn’t have to spend money replacing things like we did.

Gary, don’t want to steal Mark’s thunder, but you can’t have bus air with more th two slides. Geo.

I don’t have a barn to protect from weather. I do have a 30 amp line going to the bus. Last year I used heaters as Jon mentioned in the bay and inside the coach and used the Wabasto when it got real cold. With water in the hot water heaters, I could use those for heat also if real cold temps. Looks like a repeat of last year.

If you’re logged in and you leave the site open on your computer or device, the system disconnects you after a certain amount of inactivity time (I forget how long) for security reasons. Originally it was a short amount of time for the disconnect and we had some bitching, so we had the time extended to the maximum.
Here’s an example of why it does that. If George is at the library in WI and has PC pulled up on the library’s computer, then decides to go have a triple latte at Starbucks and forgets to log out (he’s getting old) the system will disconnect in time to prevent the kid with the bone in his nose from picking up where George left off and starts promoting legalizing weed in WI and in Jons case, over the counter blue pills.

I put them all around on my coach. They really seem to be working great.
I have had friends in the tire business that thought I was crazy to ballance trailer tires and said that on big trucks they don’t ballance them, they are crazy.
What good is an out of ballance tire that is eventialually going to ruin your bearings and ruin the life of a tire.
I would put them on the tag as well.
I have basicaly ruined two sets of tires on my coach in the 7 years I have owned it due to tire ballance problems.

I second what Geo says.

I have roof air, so I am no help.
