  1. You’re right of course. I was offering a method to find original air bag specs by calling axle manufacturer.
  2. Having all six of mine replaced. I found the axle manufactures tag on each of my axles and called them to get the air bag part number that they originally installed, then found cross reference for replacement. A huge pain in the butt on my front axle. Drive and tag bags very reasonable, around $100 each, front I had to use bags from my manufacturer (Tiffin) at 800 each as I could not find a current in stock bag from anyone.

Had local truck repair place install them as I’m too old to maneuver in next to the generator, tight spot.
  4. Not an expert by any means, however, I’ll add my two cents. As mentioned above, the valve has a component that acts kind of like a hot water heater relief valve. If the pressure inside the tank get too high, the valve will vent (even if turned off) until the internal tank pressure gets below the level the relief valve wants. I have been told that’s why the stores that sell replacement tanks, like for barbecues, etc have signs on the door to keep them all outside. The temperature of the tank will affect the gas pressure inside the tank, hotter outside, higher pressure inside, valve may vent, you’ll smell it. I park my coach where the evening sun heats the door to my tank, I’ve never measured it, but I bet the tank gets warm. Good luck.
  5. My bypass belt lengths range from 67 1/8 (Gates K08060HD and Gates K080665HD) to 66.78 for a Continental 4080660. There are belt cross reference charts online that show various manufactures belts, for example I can also use a Cummins 3289124 or Duralast 663K8. My engine/AC compressor setup might be different from yours. Our first motorhome was a 2000 Monaco 36 Knight with one slide. Thats what caused me to be a member of this site. Learning never stops with these things. It was our trial purchase to see if we would like this pastime. We loved it but wife wanted something larger with more space, lucky me. So now we have a 2010 Tiffin 43 foot with four slides, Cummins engine. I stay on this site as well as several others to learn from other owners. The Tiffin has many of the same issues as other manufacturers, same appliances, leveling, etc. I keep several spare belts as well as the routing diagrams available in case/when I'm needing that for the roadside repair guys. Had a frozen alternator eat a belt in my driveway. So I have a spare alternator onboard. I changed out the water pump, belt tensioner and idler pully when I got home from the incident with the frozen AC compressor on side of interstate. Have the old ones on board also as spares.

  6. My AC compressor froze about a mile down the road after a fuel stop in rural Alabama. Caused the AC belt to break. The AC belt turns the water pump. Engine overheated. Found it impossible to locate a new AC compressor and even if I had, would need to replace more AC components due to potential damaging crap in the dryer and condenser and hoses, big job. Had to bypass the AC compressor in order to turn the water pump with a shorter belt. Luckily the mobile diesel guy knew the part number for the bypass belt. He located one and got us back on the road to finish our trip without the dash AC. Now I carry several spare belts (AC bypass and original), a spare water pump, a spare alternator and the old tensioner so a mobile mechanic doesn’t have to source parts if I breakdown far from home. Cheap in the long run and they don’t take up much room.
  7. Check the fuse closely. I had a fuse that looked good but checked intermittent with a meter. One of the legs was barely movable. Upon close examination, the plastic case was cracked on the side where the leg was movable.
