On my previous coaches the air dryer was located on the passenger side, ahead of the drive axle on the frame. On my current coach it is located left of center, on the bulkhead ahead of the drive axle.
If you are at ride height you can safely drive 100 miles or more. If your suspension components are beyond 10 years old I think you will not regret changing them out which will likely address the moisture problem as well as increasing your reliability for the long upcoming trip.

Sounds like everything is OK with the converter line valve closed. I am guessing that you have a major air leak somewhere down line on the converter line. Disconnect it and connect it to an separate air compressor and track down the the air leak.

That looks like a add on iron tee to the system someone put in.?? and that circled opening should be hooked up to something or have a plug in it. Did the rv guy remove something there and not put it back? If not look for a loose plug or a hose that has worked loose with fitting on the end of it. Just from the picture. Bob PS put a plug in it and see what happens. Should not be open.

Congratulations, Bill. I hope it gives you many years of good service and enjoyment! That is a really sweet ride you are buying….make sure you add it to your signature.

All I, myself, can say is this: It is not just getting the panels reglued…….Guess what goes on behind those panels after they have gotten water and who knows what else back there??? It isn’t a pretty picture to see!!
We too had this problem. Had Prevost document & inspect the delamination. Yep…..”you have delamination of panels”. Sorry, your 2001 is past the cut off for Prevost to help pay for it.
Ed will have more to say & photos regarding this matter later. Maybe tomorrow???

Jon, you are correct they hold 2-1/2 gals or 9.5 L me I would keep it full you never know if or when you blow a line or filter and need the oil beats carrying plastic jugs that leak IMO
good luck

Thanks for the detailed reply Jon. I had been seeing so many references to “aux air” and the suspension that I confused it with the convertor installed aux air compressor. This clarifies it well for me.

On my 93 Marathon that is where the sewer hose was kept.

When I was 17 my old man was one of the dumbest guys I knew. When I came home from Asia four years later it was absolutely amazing how much he had learned.
Be ye not the first to try the latest Al, nor the last to cast aside the old.

Thanks Jon for your always helpful and sensible advice.
Now I just have to figure out where I can take it and make a mess, for some reason my wife doesn’t think its such a good idea to perform this procedure in the driveway!

Nice diagram! Man, I wish I could do stuff like that.

Every time I am caught in a raid for trafficing in drugs I have the opportunity to try breaking them, and due to my supernatural powers I can always succeed.
Your turn.

Dale,
You are correct, CRS set in, compressor then dryer…
-
Dale,
If your aux system is filling simultaneously with the brake systems you have a problem that affects your safety. The aux system should not start receiving air until the brake systems have around 75 PSI.
You can verify this by working front to rear draining the air tanks. Aux, secondary, primary, wet and each one in sequence should have pressure remaining even thought the one downstream is at zero. If you have a catastrophic leak in the aux system, you do not want that loss of air to drop your brake system air along with it.

As a side note to what Jon says, If a drawer latch breaks in the bedroom, rear of the coach, the slide will not work untill repaired this is a saftey feature so the slide does not take the drawer off. Jon the over ride you speak of will it make the slide work untill you could get drawer latch? I guess you could wire the latch to make it work for the short term? Gary
