Air Force One location on a 2000 U320

I'm getting an AirForce One brake system installed to replace my PIA Brake Buddy that won't work anymore.  I know that George had one installed on Moose so my questions is: Where would I look to find the tie in to the brake line on a 2000 U320?  Shouldn't something ( tie in line, T's, etc.)  still be somewhere in the back near the engine even though George took his AF1 stuff with him?  Where would it be located on Moose?
TIA!

Can only tell you about my Air Force setup,  The only thing on the Coach is 1 quick connect air chuck to the left of the hitch.  The major parts are on the toad that the other end of the air line is connected along with a safety pull disconnect in case the toad becomes unhooked. Nice sstem.

There would have been a tee in both the 5/8" supply line and the 3/8" treadle valve line. Where they were located depends upon who installed them....most likely they were on (or very near) the service relay and/or parking brake relay valves. A 1/4" air line would have ran from each of these tee's to Air Force One's own relay valve, (which could be have been mounted anywhere back there) with another 1/4" air line running from it to the rear of the coach and the quick disconnect. If none of these components are still on the coach, everything you will need will come with your new unit.

My AF1, installed in 2007, has a tap into the driver's side rear air brakes. From there the air line goes back to a box installed just to the right of the hitch receiver. I have attached a couple of pictures of my installation. I saw a new AF! at MOT recently and it appeared to be quite different.

WEEEEEE!!! Happy to say that Moose already has the Air Force One installed on the coach!  Found the air connection today.  Just didn't know where to look until I actually bent over a little. hehe.  Should save a bunch in labor costs because all I need now is to get it on my car :dance:

Steve,

We kept the hose because I was hoping to sell the Honda to someone who already had a motorhome and since we had AF1 on the CR-V I saw this as a possible enhancement to the sale. 

Glad you are still pleased with Moose.
