Okay, I'll admit to being a total amateur when it comes to this coach, but there is a "situation" that totally puzzles me. I have a "V-twin" air compressor, apparently not the original as the bracket doesn't seem to be standard. Each cylinder is T-d into a plastic output line like I would expect. But there is a rubber hose that is also T'd and goes to each cylinder - the inlet or suction line - makes sense. It makes sense until I follow it into the coach under the dash where it goes to the transmission kick-down switch and plugs onto the lever which is pushed by the throttle lever. What?? That makes no sense at all. I suppose it might to into the coach to get clean air, but plugged into the kickdown switch?? No, I'm not delirious and mistaking it for the cruise control vacuum break - that's there and intact even though the original cruise control is long since gone. If the compressor intake does indeed go inside I would expect it to end in some
sort of filter or muffler. I think I now know why it took so long to pump up - it was starved for air.
Just to prove I'm not nuts, I do know which direction the engine turns....I think :-)
