A few years ago we added trailer brakes, I eventually found the wiring (plug ) Tom C pic shows. It was buried in the wiring harness,left side of steering wheel. Just to be sure , we tested from plug under dash to trailer plug at rear of MH. 08 camelot tag

My chest is so sore from hanging up side down in the engine hatch you can’t touch it with a powder puff. Also when upside down the bags under your eyes hang down blocking half your view. Getting old sucks, but it’s still better to be seen than viewed. Tommy &Cheri 08 camelot

Hope the passenger side doesn’t blow, there’s a 6” bundle of wires, hoses, etc. over the top . If I were smart enough to know the brake can sizes, would buy extras. Fleetpride truck parts,3.00$ sure price will double soon. Tommy 08 camelot tag

Update, tag axel canister leak . 08 camelot tag . What a PIA to get to, Ivan ours was not even visible from the outside. 18” of extensions on 1/2 impac , removed 2 nuts from can , reaching up from under MH . Then hang upside down in engine hatch to remove eye bolt. That was the easy part. Monaco left O extra clearance between floor and canister. 2hrs of prying mostly by feel, it’s out of the bolt holes. d*** ,can’t get it out, got to move air tube from CAC. Now we’re on the work bench, time to disassemble 2min. New diaphragm 3 $ . Time to reassemble,9min. Reinstall 2 hrs. All good no leaky. Cocktail time. PS diaphragm size #30 21/2” stroke . 08 camelot tag

Thanks Ivan and Ben , only leaks when raised so no hurry. Just hoping for an easier R&R for a not so accessible repair. Light rain now , will roll around under it more later. 08 camelot

Have several tight turns at home base ,so I do use the tag lift ( 08 camelot 43’ tag ). Wife is always my outside eyes in tight places, so she hears the new noises first. Air leak when you lifted the tag ! Still lifts tag , but a lot of air leaking around canister clamp, little if any out of small holes in can . Nearly impossible to get to and non adjustable cables, need to get the right stroke. OR since I can see the clamp maybe reseat the diaphragm. Not sure what it looks like inside. How about it c210pa18(Gerald) or Ivan , Ben or anyone who will share their experiences. Tommy and Cheri 08 camelot tag

Put a K&N on a Ford 7.3 diesel work truck. Our mechanic that only worked on Ford diesels recommended removing. There was a a lot of fine dust in the outlet of the filter. This truck did spend 25% of its life off pavement. Only change air filter on our isl400 due to age , no restriction on gauge. It works, I check it yearly 08 camelot tag isl 400

Mike, I used a plastic barrel and about 12 ft. Of chambers (left over from other septic systems) true the barrel is small , but typically the solids go to the bottom and liquid to the leach field ( chambers) . If barrel concerns you ,might look at 100 to150 gallon liquid totes , about 50$ around here. We try to dump before the trip home so mostly 50 gallons wash out water, gray and a little black. My backhoe wasn’t here so I was digging by hand, therefore the small tank. Not DEQ approved.That would cost a few thousand dollars. 08 camelot tag ps. We used chambers because no coarse rock involved and large liquid volume.

The 09’s I’ve seen have a vented engine door , our 08 camelot is ventless. Hot,hot,hot. That’s why I was looking at cutting vents in, like you see on the side of inboard boats. But it’s been 10 years, and still living with it.

Wish ours had the 09 air vents in the engine access door ! 08 camelot tag .

Thanks Ben, I’ll have to look at tanks better when I get home Thursday.

Mike ,ours only has valves up front ( can’t spell schrader) . Yours in back kinda blows my theory of 40+ ‘ of suction hose causing a low, low side pressure. 08 camelot tag

Jeff. Air drier ,filter and governor replaced last spring, about 2500 miles. But I haven’t opened those 2 receptacles in 2 years + . My bad , just never thought about them ! Ben, you’ve got our sister ship ,I think. We’ve only got 2 air tanks, both up by the front axel , how bout yours. I drain my tanks every trip , these two will be on my list from now on, thanks. 08 Camelot tag

While fixing small air leaks I drained my air tanks. Might as well check auxiliary air chuck ,you know , the one you air a floaty up with,or a tire. Stuck my blow nozzle in pushed the button, blew 1/4 cup water out , mostly on me. Opened valve for emergency air, the one the wrecker plugs into, probably shot glass full water blows out . Haven’t used these in couple years, never see any water when I blow my tanks. Might should check these more often. 08 camelot tag

I to have been using high side pressure as my full mark . Low side never seems to get up to recommended pressure. I also use equalized pressure as a guide (let vehicle set overnight, high and low side will be the same , R134a chart will tell you optimum pressure at ambient temperature for Freon setting still wether it holds 2 lbs or 10 lbs . Takes longer but I’ve got more time than money.
