As you may have guessed, my coach has been seriously disassembled.
I am now reversing the process. I want to refill the steering with new fluid. Silly me, I thought I would be able to find that in the manuals....
If it is there, it is well hidden.

Does anybody know a real number?

Thank you

Matt

Thanks, that is probably the few places I didn't look...

Matt the correct amount of PS required is the amount to get the level between "Full cold" and "Full hot" on yout dipstick.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

The system is apart all over the barn and mostly empty, so I took the dipstick to a car parts store. They tried measuring the stick, but when I told them that there was a wiper motor in the circuit, they were lost. Wink
