schematic for the air system of 2005 Monterey

[Joe Rhea]

I'm trying to locate a schematic for the air system of a 2005 Monterey. Everything I have found so far does not match what I appear to have. Went to Monaco and all they had was for a Patriot/Marquis 2005. What I'm trying to determine is the configuration of the tank system. Does it have a wet tank and if so is it a combination wet and secondary supply? The problem I'm having is a lot of water in the air horn and step slide which are on the same line. I started noticing the problem when the slide would not retract. We observed water being blown out of the solinod valve which finally led to it's and horn's failure. When we blow the drains on the tanks very little moisture is present. It's easy enough to protect the solinods but I'm concerned about the moisture screwing other things up which would be more costly to repair.

Hi Joe, perhaps the attached document will be of assistance...

Thanks Bob
If this is what the coach should be plumbed to I need to start tracing air lines. I am seeing signs of water in the electrical bay where the step solinod is mounted above electrical strips. The copper bars are oxidized directly below. I observed another problem already which is not a operation issue but a leveling. The little aux. compressor should air up both tanks when in auto leveling but air's up the main tank only.
Do you have anything that would give the color coding for the schematic?
Thanks again
Joe

Sorry Joe, no colour coding for the air line schematic, as yet.
I'd suggest doing a search of previous posts using 'water','leak' and 'windshield' as the search parameters. Water in the electrical bay has been mentioned several times and attributed to faulty windshield seal. If wet and no rain possibly dash A/C condensate?
Good luck.

My air horn solenoid and step cover solenoid are located in the electrical bay too, but located down near the bay's floor well under everything.  They are located just above the carpeted floor on the back wall.

Two suggestions: 1) relocate the solenoids to a lower position so that if they leak, then the leaking moisture does not run down into electrical stuff, and 2) consider installing something like this, which Ed Buker suggested in an earlier thread:

I have already installed a water separator and a isolation valve on the supply line. The work around is easy to fix I'm concerned with moisture in other things. It's interesting that your is mounted low and mine in almost behind HWH system.
