U320 1999, slide bladder not inflating...

Replaced the 12V compressor tank and now the slide bladder does not inflate.  Headed to the RV repair shop tomorrow am.  Any ideas of where we should start to look for a solution to the problem?  (Compressor runs well, fuses are fine and breaker is fine just doesn't seem to talk to the slide bladder!)  We're in Alberta so faaaaaar away from Nac!

Are you saying you replaced the 12volt compressor?
What was wrong with it & why did you change it.
Was the bladder inflating before you changed the compressor?

Sorry, we replaced the tank not the compressor (it had a leak).  Everything worked well before replacement, bladder inflated and deflated on command!

Sounds like the have a air line in the wrong place, did you mark them when u took them off?
Was the air tank the same ? Check for air  pressure in tank, then check all lines coming out of it

Thanks to Steve (Alberta Coach and Chassis)and trouble shooting on the phone with HWH and James at Foretravel, Steve found the problem...a backwards check valve.  Don't know why it worked before last week but it works very well now!
We often complained about the squeaky slide while we were driving.  Amazing how quiet it is in the coach now because the bladder is now tight and snug.
We're always learning something about this coach!
