Dump Valve Rebuild?
Pete:
I am going to put in an auxiliary compressor just to do that, I hate starting up the engine just to dump as well. Bill 84 FC 35 SB "$quanderlodge" Terrace, B.C. Canada ----- Original Message ---- From: Pete Masterson To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 4:42:13 PM Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Dump Valve Rebuild? Now that there is a discussion of dump valves ... and you mention the &^%^&% air valves ... I really hate having to 'air up' the coach just to dump, especially when I'm in an RV park for a week or so. It seems so silly to run a 500 hp engine just to get the air pressure to dump the sewage. So, does anybody know if 1. is it practical to re-route the air valve source to the auxiliary compressor (used to provide air to the Microphor toilet) -- and will that compressor be able to provide enough air to efficiently operate the air valves without stressing the compressor, or 2. what are some of the alternatives (and costs + ease of installation) . Are electric valves a good idea? I certainly don't really want to hassle with manual valves... the switches are close enough to the sewage as it is... When in an RV park, I usually go 3 days between dumps or I dump on the day we leave... It's not like I do it all the time, but I have noticed a few strange looks from neighbors after I've 'aired up' to do a dump.
