I have ne of those on the 26' coach. Due to leaky lines, it runs fairly often. It is simply teed into the line going to the booster, with a check valve on the manifold side. This will be modified as follows. I will build a vacuum reservoir out of PVC and clamop it to the back if the frontmost crossmember. The reservoir will tee into the booster line. The pump will go directly to the reservoir, it jas an internal check valve. A check valve will be lplaced between the manifold and the tee in the booster line. My 23' is assemble this way, using the pump out of a Buick Century (I think) I got at the local men's mall. I need the connector for it, it isn't currently powered. Even unpowered, the reservoir is sufficient to stop the coach frpom highway speeds with substantial braking left over, by actual trial. Consequently the plug for the pump has been low priority.It will be a part of 'things needed' for the NO. I don't want to go dumpster diving in the rain.
