When you look at the diagram of the rear 6-Pack Air Manifold, there are two Travel Valves at the top, one for each side. The Raise and Lower Valves are separate from the Travel Valves. So, exercising the Raise and Lower Valves really should have no effect on the two Travel Valves at the top of the manifold. I think you were just lucky in your case. This problem fist started when we went to leave from our Workamping jobs in Georgia to return home last November. I had to use the HWH in manual mode just to get home. However, I constantly had to tweak the control pad while driving. I recently moved the coach to do some work on the house and nothing has changed. Left side will not come up to ride height. I talked to Barry @ Josam's last week to get his opinion. He thinks its one of the Travel Solenoids that has failed. Since I have no way of safely getting underneath the coach in that location and condition, I plan to have him repair whatever it needs to get it back to normal. I am having RV Glass Solutions replace my windshield sometime this month. So my plan is to drive to Josam's and have the air leveling system worked on. Then drive over to Lakeland FL to have the new windshield installed. Follow-up post when it has been repaired.

Mark, I have manually raised the coach but it won't stay there. It slowly starts lowering after I release the raise button for the left side.

I just spoke with Barry @ Josam's in Orlando. He seems to think it is most likely a travel solenoid valve that is not working on the 6-Pack at the rear because the left side won't come up at all but I can raise it with the HWH control panel in manual mode. I plan to take the coach to Josam's once I have a firm appointment made with RV Glass Solutions in Lakeland FL for a new windshield to be installed. I will go to Josam's first to have the ride height system repaired, then head over to Lakeland FL to have my new windshield installed.

Thanks for confirming what I was thinking in regards to the left Ride height Valve being the problem. I appreciate bouncing this off members and having knowledgeable folks to rely on.

My Dynasty no longer comes up to proper ride height on the entire left side. I am assuming that the ride height valve in the rear that controls the left side has failed or something else has happened to it. Am I correct in my thinking? I can bring it up manually but it won't stay there. It slowly drops back down. What say others who know more about the ride height valves than I do?

Joe, this has been discussed previously. I quick search would have found you some answers. This is what I had installed in my previous Windsor. I have vented the microwave in our Dynasty as yet. Low on the priority list. Comes in black or white. Paint-able too. https://rvandmarine.com/product/rv-microwave-oven-vent/

I sent you a PM.

@Paul J A Paul, yes that's correct.

Progressive was $2877 for this coming renewal. NOT!!!

The agent I talked with is named Justin Blumenfeld. His number is 502-313-6086. He is located in Tennessee. Please let him know that I referred you to him. No monetary reason just want to give him more business. I later discovered that there are local agents nearby my house in Florida but I started with him on a cold call. He is very nice to talk with and not pushy at all.

RV America put me with a company called Auto Owners Insurance. Don't know anything about American General.

@Georgia Mike Mike, I opened up that same drawer to get a closer look. There are no "latches" like others have spoke about. The side tracks actually have somewhat of a detente which keeps the drawer closed. It operates like the rest of the drawers in the coach. The granite cover will not even raise up unless the drawer is completely out. I don't see anything mechanically that would restrict the drawer from sliding open. If something had fallen out and gotten caught I would think it would move at least a little. One suggestion is to remove the air vent on the right side of the dash, remove the air hose and push it aside to get a look at the inside at least on the right. The only way to see the left side is to remove the center dash and there are lots of air hoses back there. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

I received my Progressive RV Insurance renewal in January for the March 1st renewal. OMG!!! The renewal bill came in at $2877 for a full pay discounted rate. SO, this month, I made up a list of 8 RV insurance companies to call for their current rate do do some comparison shopping. I only made three calls before settling on one company in particular that writes insurance for my state, Florida. My first call was to RVer Insurance Exchange. Second call was to National General Insurance and the third call was to RV America. They happen to be in that very same order from the top on my list. I never called the other 5 companies. RV Insurance Exchange quote came in close to the Progressive as they were quoting Progressive. National General came in around $2300. However, my third call was the "CHARM". That was to RV America which landed me at a brokers office in Tennessee. They quoted me a rate of $899 for one year with a company called Auto Owners Insurance. All three quotes were for basically the same level and type of coverage so as not to mix apples with oranges. The gentleman on the phone remarked that the state of Florida was only writing RV insurance policies with three companies, Progressive, National General and Auto Owners. Don't know if that statement is true or not. Well, this is a no brainer. My progressive policy will be cancelled at midnight February 29th and my new policy with Auto Owners Insurance company begins at 12:01 am March 1st.

There are four scales. Each scale has 20,000 Lb capacity measured in 10 lb increments. Intercomp Scale Model PT300 Two scales work perfectly, they power up and are fully calibrated. They are portable and each scale is powered with 6 AA batteries. One scale needs to be re-calibrated. It powers up and displays plus it zeros out but it is not accurate for weight. It definitely needs to be re-calibrated. The fourth scale does not power up and most likely needs to be factory checked. These are great for doing corner weights on RV's & motor-homes. Pickup only! $1000 or Make Offer.

Mike, I will open mine up this morning to look closely at what may be causing your problem. I will repost later today. We use that drawer a lot.

@NAMVET77 Don, I had purchased a package from one of our members here when he advertised it in the classifieds. It included two new complete solenoid valves plus multiple packages of the required o-rings for rebuilding. I scarfed it up quickly knowing the project I had ahead of me. Some time back I saw a posting where a member listed a new coil that would work on the HWH valves. I have kept that information just in case I needed it. Here are the Amazon links to that coil. http://tinyurl.com/2bzcfe59 http://tinyurl.com/ypjt8z6d I have not ordered any of these so I cannot confirm that they do work as a replacement. Obviously, you would need to replace the connector with the one from HWH to make it work.

Aqua Hot Diesel not Firing (Lighting)….2006 Executive. WHY???
Dr4Film replied to Venturer's topic in AC, Heating, and Cooling
Yes, the filter is the least of the problems with the Aqua-Hot. I was forced to change mine once in the Windsor when I took on a full tank of bad fuel in the Yukon while coming back from Alaska. I had to change out both engine fuel filters, the Aqua-Hot filter and the generator filter to get everything back to normal. That was an interesting trip and back story. -
Aqua Hot Diesel not Firing (Lighting)….2006 Executive. WHY???
Dr4Film replied to Venturer's topic in AC, Heating, and Cooling
My previous Windsor uses the Racor R12T filter which has the clear water/debris trap bowl at the bottom. My Dynasty uses the standard filter without the water.debris trap at the bottom. I cant read the brand, etc. as the label is facing the other direction. -
7.16 volts is not enough by a long shot. The Aqua-Hot will not work with voltage less than 12.1 VDC.

The Racor R12T has a water trap bowl. The Garber Fuel Filter does not. https://hydronicheatingwarehouse.com/collections/frontpage/products/garber-fuel-filter -
It makes getting under the coach into a tight place only one time instead of two. Don't like working in that area more than I have to.
