Does anyone know where to buy the air leveling valve. I am not sure if I have the correct name for the valve.

Napa have them. Ebay have them. Foretravel has them. You get a discount from Foretravel parts. Also if you use Amazon link here. The forum gets a taste. Common part used across industry.

Do not get the black plastic. The mounting holes do not line up.

Every time this topic floats to the top of the Forum, we get into this discussion about metal versus plastic height control valves.  The original valves on my coach (which are still in place and functioning perfectly) were metal.  This is also true of most of the coaches represented by the "active" members on this Forum (late 80's to late 90's models).  At some point Haldex switched from using metal to plastic in producing their valves.  If you go looking for a genuine Haldex height control valve today you will most likely get the plastic version - either 90555105 or KN27000.  Haldex indicates these two part numbers are comparable.

90555105 - Height Control Valve - Replaces 90554241 - Haldex product

KN27000 - Height Control Valve Kit - Haldex product

It is possible that you may find some new old stock (NOS) Haldex or Midland brand metal valves online.  I did, on eBay.  Still serviceable?  I don't know...haven't needed to use it - yet.

You will find many copies of the original metal valves for sale online.  Made where?  By whom?  As good as Haldex?  It's your coach, so DWMYH.  See threads below for additional relevant data:
