    I have mostly never used it. The only times that I have is when I drove from S. to N. in a short period of time and was concerned the Southern diesel at the pump did not have adequate additive that the N. fuels have. I full time so the RV is driven year round. If I was parking the RV for an extended period I would likely add an additive.

    George my brother, why such harsh words? You have lots of options to sell things online and offline.

    If the two technologies are mixed it appears the only downside is the coolant now has a 2 year life, instead of an extended life. If a blank coolant conditioner was used and is still in place, replace it with one that adds SCAs over time.

    July 20, 2023 at 4:48 pm in reply to: HWH : Aux Air : Royale XLV

    On initial level I’ve observed mine let air out until the bubble level was perfect, and then at the last minute the compressor under the drivers seat comes on and raises the front just a smidge … which is evident in the bubble level as it’s no longer perfect. No idea why it does this – but I’ve observed it do the same thing multiple times, because I had to re-level several times in the same exact spot over the past two weeks.

    After the initial level, with HWH on, it seems to only release air to re-level until level can no longer be achieved by releasing air, and at that point the compressor under the drivers seat comes on for like 5 – 7 secs, gives up and excess slope light come on. At that point, I air up the bus and start all over.

    Again, I’ve never heard the Silent Air aux compressor that is in PS Bay 4 above the AH come on to assist with leveling the bus.

    I know I have a leak in the PS rear. I know when I fix that I should be able to level with LL and leave it (no HWH). I’ll get it fixed, just haven’t had time to track it down yet.

    But why I have two aux air compressors is a real head scratcher.

    get her clean.. take a roll of masking tape and do a layout on floor. Walls furniture etc..Questions–Fulltime–vacation—fun time?? Kids? big sinks ,refers,and ovens are for most a waste of space…Toaster ovens. induction cook tops ,microwaves fit a more casual life style. you prob have about 93 inches usable width which narrows with wall height. make sure to keep floor access to engine/air compressor etc from inside(usually under bed frame) Bob

    Art, where ever you get the parts add Meritor helper springs for the slide pins.

    Thanks Don!

    That’s exactly the advice that I needed.

    I will check the converter fuse bay – for some reason I thought that it

    might be different due to the 24V.

    Hopefully our 97 Classic is similar and I can fix it w/ a 10 amp fuse.

    I am not looking forward to contorting myself over the toolbox to check fuses…but these are the things we do to keep these rigs operational.

    This may be the year that I spring for those fuses that illuminate when they blow. 🙂

    Or maybe I’ll have to pay Liberty for the coverter wiring diagram.

    Thanks again!

    removed microwave, new one is in.

    sanded table top will drop off at painter, this should look awesome when done

    removed rear 6 airbags, wire wheeled all mounting surfaces and will paint prior to install. There was heavy rust under the bags. Surface prep done, and will do por 15 to the surface.

    fridge opening made taller for fridge install, need 3/4″ for the new fridge. Pending windshield for the install.

    wire wheeled front torque plates and sanded rust out of bushing surfaces, pending bushings to put back together.

    It looks like a Bendix # LP-3 brake low pressure switch. They are available in varying pressures.

    Send a picture, seems like some of the featherlites had access from the interior and some you have to pull the housing for the bulb out from the door face side. i don’t believe they had to remove the rub rail trim section to replace bulbs.

    I have 2 months till my trip, things didnt go as planned yesterday. Amazing how one bad day can make you feel like the world is crashing.

    1. Removed all front brakes.

    2. Installed front shocks and new air lines.

    3. Installed engine battery charger nico 10x pro

    4. Installed my final 2 led marker lights

    5. Finished painting rear drums, tag axle calipers, torque plates and axle housings

    6. Sanded front calipers so they can take paint

    7. Removed front discs from hub.

    This will be a big week, ordering all new brake parts, new air bags, and new struts. I have new house batteries ready for the install and a new fridge. Dinette is almost ready for install, need to have the new table top clear coated. Need less to say I have a lot to do if I am going to make my 5/26 trip
