GypsyJo Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I know I've seen this question but can't find it. I'm having an issue with my valid touch pad on my air system on my 2006 Camelot. I've been driving and when I stopped for a break the fault alarm came on. I did the reset and it cleared. I drive a mile and it comes on again. I did the reset again and about 50 miles I stopped for fuel and walk the dog. When I started down the road about 1 mile, it came on again. Now I sit by the road and it keeps coming back on.

Frank McElroy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Did you try unplugging and plugging back in the connector below the keypad display. It might be as simple as a loose connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyJo Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Do you mean under the touch pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerMar Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 That is what I did. I unscrewed the 4 star screws and carefully pulled out the controller. Then I unplugged the controller power and data connection, waited 30 seconds and plugged the data in first then the power. Worked for awhile (few months) but had to finally replace the controller. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McElroy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 In case resetting the connector doesn't work, here is a link to the service manual where it explains how to read the fault codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the faults in the down load and what I have is different. I only have 1 red light almost center of drivers side and travel button lit up.

Frank McElroy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 See page 40 - left front travel valve is the problem. Is the fault light or the light on the front left flashing? If so the manual will explain what that means. Are you able to manually adjust heights? Does auto level work? The manual also will tell you how to override the system so you can drive to a repair shop in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbircky Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Had a similar problem with mine, except it was the passenger side tag axle. Ended up being a faulty wiring harness. The Valid folks were a massive help in diagnosing and getting me the new harness. 250 832 6477 or https://validmfg.com/product/vehicle-leveling-system/ Good Luck. At least your front wires are easier to reach than the rear ones..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodylmiller Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 We had an issue with ours a while back; fault lights and warning beeps for miles and miles. Turning off the batteries at the disconnects would solve the problem for most of the trip. Good luck. Outside of the warning lights and beeping the coach ride height was fine and the coach rode and parked level. Shop said it was a bad controller and solenoid.

TommyL Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Our 08 Camelot tag Valid quit . Was told the computer board went bad . I unplugged the ribbon sprayed with electrical cleaner. Hasn’t missed a beat in 7 years.l was told if the board went bad it would default to travel mode. Boards aren’t cheap plus duty tax out of Canada.

Solution GypsyJo Posted October 17, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted October 17, 2022 I am back to my Valid system. I last posted about my Valid issue back in March. Well I finally pulled out of the park where I worked all summer to go have my slideouts looked at and I had NO alarms from my Valid system. Although now, instead of laying 10 days pretty level, since returning and parking, it’s now lasting 2-3 days. I’m thinking it’s time to call Valid and see if it is a Valid issue or something else. Any thoughts and Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyJo Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 I took my 2006 Monaco Camelot into Josam’s in Orlando to fix the air leaks in my system. My coach could not maintain level for 24 hours and I could hear leaks. They called and said they only found tiny leaks and fixed them. 400.00 later, two days off work and the drive and I get back to my site to set up. Went to level and from drivers seat I could hear air rushing out. I crawled under the coach and found first a tube that wasn’t in place where there is a compression fitting. I put it in and made sure it was well seated, then proceeded to crawl to the front of the coach where i I continue to hear air. I found a brass fitting that was literally hand tightened. After splitting plumbers tape and tightening it, the air leak stopped but still I could hear air. My neighbor crawled under and his friend stood next to the front passenger tire where they were heading the air leak. They found a T that was leaking and went to Lowe’s and found the same fitting for 7.00 and replaced it. It’s been 5 days and my coach has maintained level completely. needless to say, I won’t be going back to Josams again. problem is fixed now. Valid is working perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Galarneau Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 When I bough the Dynasty, I couldn't go in travel mode. After talking to Valid, they said it was most probably a bad keypad. I changed it and everything as been fine for the last 5 years. They mentioned that it is common to have water coming from the driver window sneaking under the pad and corroding it. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself and many others have heard it! Mine can't be turned on without ignition key on anymore, otherwise it's still functional (for now). I pulled it out for inspection. No signs of ever having water intrusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ben, i didn't want to imply that it was your case. I mentioned that on mine it was the problems. I removed the plastic over the button and it was all corroded.
