hi guys,
well, last nite i put the setup on the passenger side rear (which has not been dropping) as a control. it stayed rock solid and didnt drop any pressure.
this morning at 10am i put the setup on the rear drivers side that has been dropping a bunch. tonite when we got back from our friday dinner date (nice way to say going out to pig out on all you can eat fish fry with some friends) i checked it at 7pm. so, 9 hours and the pressure has stayed exactly the same and the coach has only dropped about 1/4" on the front driver side only. the rear where the setup is attached has not dropped at all.
by the way, the schematic steve bare drew up is upside down. meaning the right side on his diagram is looking at the coach from the front so it is the drivers side. or at least upside down to me as i always look at it like i am in the drivers seat facing foward. ya just have to know what your point of reference is. steve did an amazing job in sketching it all out.
so i will leave it all nite and check it in the morning. so about 24 hours. i suspect the solenoid i put in last summer while at steve bares has been leaking through.
once i get the rear hanging solid, i will try the same thing on the front.
and yes, richard, i overthink EVERYTHING. i am an ENGINEER! ha. but richard already know i overthink.
i think i was more excited about building the ball valve and pressure gauge setup than i was trying to fix it.
thanks
tom
