Today I was able to stop by the barn where the coach is stored and crawled under and verified the compressor model. It is indeed a E-Type compressor (#355802 Holset Type E SS296C) This means I for sure need either an air dryer with the inline external isolation (ECON) valve or a newer model dryer that is compatible with the E-type compressor. The model number I am coming up with is that I need a DA33200X dryer. This appears to be unavailable anywhere online. The other option is to get a DA33100X and a new isolation valve.

I am leaning against replacing it with the valve again as I read that the valve can have issues, especially in cold weather on longer trips. Since I plan on doing this I think I want an updated model dryer with the integral system that allows the E-type compressor to run properly. My guess based on everything I am reading is that my isolation valve is stuck and the compressor is dumping oil into the dryer.

SO, the question is does anyone know of a replacement dryer that is compatible with my compressor other than the Haldex DA33200X? Or should I just get the thing out and tore down and see if rebuilding perhaps is the route to go?

I used a DA34200.  Looks like NAPA might have them.

That looks like  model that would work. I really like the idea of having the spin on/off filter of the 33200 rather than the bolted 34200. I am leaning towards pulling apart and rebuilding the current unit and replacing the econ valve.

If you decide to diy you will need the DQ 6026 and the DQ 6020 kits. Don't forget to replace or rebuild the Is olation valve. KN 23500

 These are the exact part numbers I came up with, thanks for confirming! I just placed the order and I think the rebuild is worth it for only $287!
