I can't believe you all talked about this topic while I was off net at
QUARTZSITE.

Don't even consider a kludge vacuum tank (JMHO) until you read these stories
by many famous GMCers.

http://gmcmotorhome.info/addens.html#tank

The accumulator tanks, will not even begin to answer the engine-off brake
problems described here.

Don't forget to read about the vacuum leaking boosters by KenH at the end of
this section --- that alone should convince you not to use a tank.

Even current car manufacturers are using vacuum pumps designed for this
application, with no external components required, as indicated by the new,
available pumps we are now using , the JC4

JimK has these pump kits in stock ( tho he should loose those check
valves-they are unnecessary)

and there is even a good deal on ebay just now for just a pump

give it some serious thought, and save yourself some work and worry.

we have to quit talking to these guys,

this vendor raised his price $20 when he found out we used them on GMC
motorhomes ;>)

still a good price but Jim has cables, and all you need in a kit
