Bill Johnson:
I wanted to provide an update to the leveling valve issue.  The part (Haldex Linkage Repair Kit #RN10JC) is available via NAPA.  Our local stores did not have it in stock, but could easily obtain it.

LarryNCarolynShirk:
Thank you Bill,

That is good info for future reference.

Bill Johnson:
Larry, I could not have done it without your guidance!

Edward Buker:
This is a question that anyone can chime in on but in particular Bill, Larry, and Gerald for sure. Given the issue that this part fail would stop you on the road with a breakdown would it be wise to carry one of these on board? With this fail I am not sure if one could even get under the coach given the clearances. It might be possible with a tow truck providing a secured lift to get the job done. What are your thoughts?

Gerald Farris:
Ed,
I agree that carrying a ride height linkage repair kit would not be a bad idea, especially since they seem to be a common failure point in the air suspension. However, I would not trust a tow truck to hold the coach up while I repaired the linkage. I would trust the leveling system on your coach first, and would advise anyone to also use safety stands or heavy wood blocks between the axle and frame for safety reasons. If a coach falls on you once, that is once too many.

Even if you do not repair the linkage yourself, having the part that almost any competent mechanic can install could save you a lot of time waiting on parts.

Gerald
