Bill,
On my 2000 U320 the protection valve is a Haldex-Midland KN 31000 which I bought from Ryder Fleet Products.  The following is a link to Ryder: http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/ryder/af/ryder/core/content/product/srm/key/U55%20KN31000/pn/Pressure-Protection-Valve/erm/productDetail.do (http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/ryder/af/ryder/core/content/product/srm/key/U55%20KN31000/pn/Pressure-Protection-Valve/erm/productDetail.do)



You can find the OEM number on the side of the valve (N15759 DC which is the KN 31000) if you clean it off and bring a good flashlight under the coach.  Be sure to use safety blocks when working under the coach.  I had one that was leaking and replaced it, but you could just take apart and look at the seal.  If it looks good I would clean it and see if that fixes the problem.  You can just remove the four screws and look at the seal without removing the entire valve.  This is after you remove all the air from the system of course.


Thanks,

Brad
