Hi folks. I am finally almost an empty nester again, so I am getting everything ready in order to travel again. The coach has been garaged in AZ for most of the last 7 years, and I've had zero problems with the air system. I bought desiccant a few years ago, and it is still good, but I've never replaced it in my 2002 U270 and am planning on spending time where I may run into moisture (Oregon).
Can someone give me a little guidance as to the replacement process? Where do I find the 12 volt fuse to remove the possibility of the compressor coming on while the bowl is removed? Exactly how do you remove the bowl? I did a search and didn't find an answer. Thanks!

Thanks, Michelle. Now, about the 12 volt fuse location????
Edit: Not the fuse location, but it says "Remove 12 volts at the breaker panel" as well as the obvious fuse. It is the breaker panel location that I want to be sure of. I have removed the fuse, and have installed a toggle switch at the compressor, but I know removing the fuse does NOT completely disable the compressor. If I recall correctly, I had the coach out on the side of the house in an unlevel place WITH the fuse pulled...and the compressor still came on when it was needed...likely the leveling system. Thus my concern.
Mine is just to the left of the yellow tag in the picture. I unplug both of them that you see
My single-slide U270 is set up differently...but I will see if I can find two power plugs on mine on my next trip out there. Mean time, I grabbed my manual and will try to see if there is good info on the electric diagrams.
Glad you guys are back. Been awhile.

Thanks, Larry! It sure has been a while. My Foretravel patiently waited for me!
