[Richard and Rhonda]

I want to provide an update to this post. After I installed the blue Ridewell universall replacement ride height valves, I noticed that my air compressor seemed to be cycling a lot more. By more I mean cycling every two miles or so. It didn't do it unless the coach was moving. I also noticed my supply side air guage would seem to bounce when I hit a bump. Hmmmmmm. Could it be that these valves were misadjusted or something else. I have been known to make a mess of things.

Fast forward. A talk with an engineer at Ridewell confirmed that they had changed the design of the valve to be fast responding. It adds air quickly and dumps air quickly at the slightest misadjustmet in height. He said that I need the GREY bodied Slo Response Valve. A Ha.

Seeing that those didn't seem to exist on the internet for purchase, I used an alternative valve from http://heightcontrolvalve.com. I ordered the standqrd deadband, delayed response valve. They are different for right and left, and make sure you tell the person you need 1/4 quick connect fittings since they normally come with SAE threads. The guy told me that Newell used these valves at one time. And, by the way, they are half the cost of the Ridewells and all metal in construction.

After an afternoon spent under the coach, think greasy and nasty, I can say the excessive air use is gone. It was the Ridewell valves.
