Title: Ride Height Valve Cover
Post by: jor on April 14, 2019, 10:29:21 am
I was greasing the RV yesterday and noticed the exhaust filter and cover were missing from the front ride height control valve. For those that have recently bought a Foretravel you might want to check yours as the rubber covers dry out and fall off over time. There are several threads that describe different homemade solutions. You can buy the proper replacement from NAPA for about $7 each. The part number is RN10JE.  Ride Height Filter (https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MBIRN10JE)

I have found that the rubber covers go on with little difficulty if you turn them inside out and fold the edges up onto the valve orifice. Here's a few photos of mine on a 97 270.

Thanks Jor, great illustration and appreciate the part number.  Are there 4 or 8 of these valves on our rigs?
Have used NAPA for many items in the past and they have always come through with the correct parts.  Purchased all our fuel filters from NAPA that we carried on the coach.

There are 3 - one in front and two in back.

Yup, easy to see the rears-- open the basement doors just behind the rear wheels.  The front one is in the center of the front.
