Title: 2003 U320 Air Diagram (Leveling system isolated)
Post by: Barry Beam on February 12, 2015, 11:28:01 am
After going thru my air system leveling using the air diagram I found tracing the lines a bit cumbersome as it includes all the air system including the braking system. Air Dryer desiccant contamination creates symptoms of air leak (split from... (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=17640.msg118418#msg118418)
I thought it would be easier if I had just a diagram for the leveling system alone since I found the ignition circuit diagram so useful Start failure-no crank-fixed it. (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=15639.msg186695#msg186695). 
So here is my interpretation of the leveling system on my 2003 U320 I use for troubleshooting my system.

Nice! I want to do one of these for our coach... What software did you use to draw it? I imagine that our coach's diagram would be similar without the slide & tag components and possibly some different part numbers for the different generation of HWH components...

I found an inexpensive app called "Shapes" $9.99 for my Mac Shapes – A Simple, yet Powerful Diagram and Flowchart App for Mac OS X (http://shapesapp.com/). Wish it had more objects in the Library to choose from but it got the job done.

Thanks Barry
I have added this program to my tool box! Looks great for quick and dirty (not to scale) diagrams. I like the interface... I did my solar panel layout plan in a program called iDraw because I wanted a scale drawing of the coach roof with component locations. It is a pretty good tool, not as good as what I used to use at work (VectorWorks), but a whole lot cheaper! Here is a picture of my Solar plan...
