This particular sprayer had a pressure relief valve that I replaced with a $10.00 pressure gauge and some plumbing I had on hand to let the pressure off quickly. You don't really need the gauge but it's handy to check quick if you still have pressure or need to give it few more pumps. This POS held 15 psi for extended periods long enough to do about 4 wheel cylinders and an H-Vac before I had to pump it again. The most IMPORTANT THING IS NOT TO LET THE FLUID LEVEL GET TOO LOW SO AIR GETS INTO THE SYSTEM. | Pressure-bleeder made from $25.00 plant sprayer at Home Depot. I extended hose so it can sit on the ground, then put a 'tee' on the end with a two bent pcs of brake line with one of each size of flare-nuts that go into each side of the switch block beside the master. Yes, they're different sizes. WTF? | Had a little 1/8" mahogany kicking around so I bent, glued & stapled a couple of layers around it. If you do this, be sure to set the vertical studs back 1/4" from the front plywood radius to ensure the two layers of 1/8" ply end up flush with the upper and lower plywood radius when you're done. Faster setting white wood glue helps. More later... | (1 Comments) Same framing method we use for balloon tread framing for stairwork. Simple and strong. |

Note the row of screws hanging the wall gusset plywood just under the aluminum angle pc just below the hatch piano hinge. These are important as it helps spread the load across the entire wall section. | (1 Comments) Here's a pic of my lower water tank. My dash water tank gauge has been pooched for as long as I've owned the coach so this little mod I did is how I know where my water supply is at. | |
After removing the plywood walls of the storage compartment, with the wall gusset plywood hanger installed with sheet-metal screws into the exterior wall, and the other framing supports in place, the floor can now go back in. I re-purposed the same pc of plywood I took off the top of the storage box. | Slide frame off. Note the screened hole in the front face of the under-storage box beneath the former couch. I did that to allow warm air from the small heater I leave on in the winter get down into that storage compartment where my second water tank lives; stops it from freezing up. I keep the coach full of water year round for emergencies (earthquakes etc.). | Cushions off. | |
