Hopefully, I'll get to the point of a full days driving!You're welcome Mlawre, but "hopefully" you'll either drive over to Nacodoches and have that air dryer replaced or hie thee to a NAPA and replace the damn thing yourself. Or order one on-line. I know I have that task coming down the pipe. But I run on "retired" time.New Years Eve I was contemplating a trip to the town clerk for a tag for my Siata project.I made a snarky comment about Brad Metzger taking a day off for a chest cold.That's my picture next to hubris in the dictionary.Nyquil, Dayquil hot drinks and chicken soup.

Hope you get well soon!Well, I've crashed a couple of motorcycles, and I'm living with heart failure, so I don't feel guilty kicking back reading cheap dime store mysteries while I nurse this cold. Currently Lee Child's Jack Reacher thrillers. But yeah, I'm kinda Jonesing to take the Siata out on the road.So. When do you make the drive to Motorhomes of Texas to have that rig of your checked out? Quote Selected
Re: Getting pressure high enough to drive? Reply #31 – January 23, 2020, 11:59:07 pm Final Update:Just to provide closure for some other owner who might run into similar troubleshooting issues...Summary: The dryer bypass got my coach back up to pressure, but did not allow me to kick put into drive. Tried lots of stuff, including two paid mobile tech trips, both who could not figure it out.I was just about to have it towed but fortunately I described the problem by phone to Eric at MOT, and he correctly identified the problem. The dinging I was hearing with the key in the ignition was the the HWH sensor warning telling me a slide was not closed. Sure enough, the bedroom closet slide on the passenger side was out about 3/4". I opened it six inches to retract, and voila! The warning bell desisted!So I brought it into a local shop in Dallas called Blue Moon to have it serviced. Luckily, there was a guy there named JJ who said he was actually on the assembly line when they rolled this U320 out. He said he recognized the coach because there were only two of them made. Supposedly there was an intense discussion on whether or not it was a good idea to put granite countertops in it. Well, I must say, I didn't even know they were granite until he pointed it out! Anyway, it turned out there was a faulty solenoid that needed to be replaced. After replacing it and rebuilding the air dryer all worked fine.I must say that I was impressed with how fast they took me in (same day I called) and had all the service work done within a week. Have it back now and order has been restored! Taking it out this weekend with family to attend a tennis tournament and afterward going to visit an alpaca ranch.Thanks so much for all the troubleshooting ideas and help.Hopefully one day I'll know enough about this stuff to return the favor.Cheers,Michael Quote Selected 7 Likes
