I've read this entire thread. What a great resource for us to reference and educate the me, a new owner. I have a rig that used to be in Florida (best I can tell) and has multiple air leaks. I'm doing my repairs on the west coast but do not intend to have boundaries while traveling and expect humidity at times.
I'm learning by jumping into the deep end, as it sounds like most of you have.
110v compressor cycles, if left on, every 2 1/2 minutes. From what I've read it should be no more than 20 minutes cylces and some of you have several hours between cycling. I'll leave the pump off until I get the rig cribbed up and I can get underneath and trace out what and where.
The sequencing valve in the 1/2 bath, leaked the second day I owned the coach. spraying water every where. I shut the pump off. The grey cylinder (air chamber) was split at the juncture with the black (water portion) of the valve. In the spare parts box I received, there is another sequencing valve with the same symptoms. After removal and careful examination of the sequencing valve, I'm sure the water side of the valve had water going in on the "out", sending water thru it backwards. $410 later, I'll have a new valve to install early next week.
Now I want to check pressure regulators and for both water and air. I'm afraid it may have been a pressure issue also (?)
I have #784, I'll go out today in search of these regulators, any clues on where to find them and how to distinguish what goes to what ?
Ps. I don't know if I would have purchased a coach like this, If I hadn't know about this website and your friendly support.
