Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

4…..3….21…..EASTER! Only happens once…….

……… Watch out for red eyed rabbits!I know you’ve seen one of Mac’s MacDaddy dash but look closely at the rear suspension controls……. As important as putting air into the rear suspension is …….a mission critical system….brother if your air system fails you just picked out a piece of property on the side of the road!

All the system used in our GMC’s…..Power Level….Electro-Level and Electro Level II all have so many failure points even totally checked out simply still has too many failure points, we would prefer to put our customers in a more reliable, serviceable air delivery system.

Simply is good on critical systems, these dash air ride controls connect a system with no height controls to leak, no air tank, no electric solenoids to fail, no electric switching.  2 mechanical air rocker valves, a dual needle air gauge to monitor bag pressure and an on/off switch……thats it!  Well, yes, there is a pressure regulator(fixed 110 on 145psi off, a mechanical pop off valve and a new Viair compressor……thats it…… I want to control the height not some 45 year old component looking for a place to squat……… The more complicated and the more relying on unique parts the less reliable that system is.  If you DO want an auto height control….2 solenoidss can do that but the main system is all manual…..and still very reliable……and less money too!

Not really much to see on the backside of this system.  No special control panel to fail leaving you on the road……..no piles of air lines, fittings all over the place …..no electric or electronic components to fail.  Opinions may differ on this but we want the system to support you….and your coach.

If you’re interested to build into your coach more air system reliability give me a call.

IT’S EASTER….. enjoy the day….headed to the shop for Eleganzas Easter trip to Narcoossee……see ya tomorrow…..update…..Elle is a the place she likes to be……
