HWH Air Compressor Replacement Last Summer
Paul J A replied to Dr4Film's topic in Compressed Air Systems
I would think a simple 4 sided enclosure around the compressor with ceiling tile would diffuse the noise. Also mount on a rubber kneeling pad would help reduce transmission. Another member on this site installed the compressor in a basement compartment and did some sound proofing that was very effective. Paul A Dennis; A few members have removed the LP tank and went with the smaller portable tanks for LP. You have to address the various uses you have for the LP from a point of what regulators are needed as you did when the tank was in place.. A great storage space for long items as well as what ever you prefer. AS they say, " I have ideas i have not even thought of yet" Paul A -
When mounting base plates to a vehicle, you may want to consider using Class 8 bolts, and castle nuts, and drilling a hole in the bolt to insert a cotter pin when assembled on the vehicle. You can use a spacer for the frame thickness, and bench assemble, drill the hole for the cotter pin, then assemble on the toad. Use stainless cotter pins. We did, and had no loosening or failures in 10 years full timing.

RV painting and/or clearcoating

Gary K Thanks for your great informative post on the body/paint work done in Mx. Paul A. -
Our 07 Executive has petcocks on the air tanks to drain any condensation. They did NOT have a 90 degree dead stop, so one had to be careful when using. I replaced them with brass ones that had a dead stop. Paul A

Any idea what the cost for that installation is? Paul A

Th e process of finding an area in the sidewall to install that is my primary concern. You will have to determine where the bracing is. Depending on the age of your coach, you may be able to talk to someone at REV in Engineering and see if they can locate a drawing of your side wall. Or, if they had a drawing showing that location they would use, if that was an option on your coach. I think the bracing is aluminum, so a devise for measuring density may not work. Below are 3 pictures of what we did in our 07 Executive back in 2006.

Slide considerations if adding a chest freezer
Paul J A replied to amphi_sc's topic in Interior & Exterior Care & Renovations
WE had a special basement tray that had a 1500# capacity fully extended. I helped a guy build this. It was great. and as full timers, you usually spend more time outside. This unit was in our 07 Executive. It completely utilized the basement compartment. Attached are several photos. The combination fridge/freezer was rated for 80# as a freezer. The grill had a quick disconnect to the coach LP. Left side was all storage. Tray was able to be locked in place every 8" as it was extended. We ordered the coach without a curbside front slide. Always in the way and the basement access was so convenient. More useful patio area too. Paul A -
Onan generator stalling
Paul J A replied to jreich888's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
Jason I had a fuel line leak on our 10K generator. I replaced it and the fuel filter on the generator with a Garber fuel filter, as used on the Aquahot. Mounted it on the rear panel, outside, so it was much easier to service. NAPA made up all new fuel lines at that time. Worked great and simplified the fuel filter change on the generator. Paul A -
Engine Air Intake Hose
Paul J A replied to burghere66's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
Gary I replaced all my intake ducting with components from intakehoses.com. on a ISX 525 Cummins in our 07 Executive, AFTER the 5 year warranty. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of knowledgeable people on the subject. That ducting causes air friction due to its construction and bends in it as used in our coaches. Class 8 trucks do not use it. They ALL use rubber fittings and/or aluminum tubing, which i purchased from intakehoses.com. That is what i converted to, and i will tell you the difference in performance was great. At that same time, i replaced my muffler with a straight thru resonator from dynaflexproducts.com. They are the largest MFG. of Class 8 truck exhaust components in the U S A. I also replaced the OEM Air Cleaner with one from AFE, Advanced Flow Engineering out of Ca. The A C is not on their web site . You have to call them. Overall performance was great and fuel economy went up 1 MPG "cruising". Bottom line; More CFM of air to engine, and NO back pressure in the Exhaust. And NO negative effect on Turbo. I did all of the above in 7-2011. The photo is of the Aladdin screen during one phase of traveling we did. I cruise at 60-62 MPH, 1350 RPM. Paul A -
I would suggest you obtain a manual on line. They usually take you to a point of success for the current issue. Paul A

I had body mounted camera's on a 05 Dynasty we had. They were as effective as the mirror mounted ones we had on our 07 Executive. Paul A

Pilot seat controls
Paul J A replied to dougknight86's topic in Interior & Exterior Care & Renovations
Doug Remove the defective items and take to a fab shop. They should be able to reverse engineer, duplicate, them. Ask the guys at a truck repair shop. Stay away from RV repair. Many truckers experience the same failures. Paul A -

Thank you. That's handy. Paul A

Take the strip you want to replace to a local shop that does Bath remodeling. It's the world they function in. NON RV application thoughts usually provide an answer and solution. Very few components in a RV are designed JUST for a RV. To small a market.
