This morning Glen called from Central Point RV and said he had talked to Frank at HWH and they think the shuttle valve is bad even though I replaced it about a month ago. When we dropped the RV off I reminded Glenn that I had already replaced the shuttle valve.
He later called and said he pulled the valve and checked it and it appeared fine. He was waiting for a call back from Frank. Later when I picked up the MH Glen said he and Frank had run some tests on the circuit board and found it was bad. That’s the good news. We finally have the problem identified. Cummins Northwest in Coburg, Oregon was the first shop to try to fix it and couldn’t find the problem. Next R-Mechanic in Livermore, CA tried to fix it, replaced the pressure valve. When the problem continued, I tried to get them to continue to pursue the problem but they would never return my calls. Then I replaced the shuttle valve. It still didn’t fix the problem. So I’m tentatively very happy that the problem looks like its been identified.
The bad news is the board cost $700. The next bad news is they don’t have the board in stock and will have to make one. It will take about a week. The next bad news is our RV site is taken for Friday and Saturday nights. The only site available is not very level and has trees that may block the satellite. We will be able to move back after a couple of days.
Given the option, Ty always will pick the project to sleep on. (Or the clean clothes)
