What did you do to your Class C MH today???

Just added a receiver to the front of the unit for bicycled and in the morning we will be adding a steer safe to the MH. Trying to get the front a little heaver and to not wander.

We are out on the road. Did not bring a 1/4" Pipe Tap. Was considering that mod but was waiting make sure the pump worked ocrrectly. Mine is now over a year old. When we get home I will look into the mod.
To keep thread on subject. I started washing the MH today. Got rear cap done. Maybe I will get one side finished tomorrow. :R

I take for granted that the OEM thread in the head is a metric thread. Do you know what the OEM threads are ?

Do you have ability to measure the thread pitch and outside of the male thread and weather it's straight or tappered ?

It would be easier for me to get matric to SAE adapter than to tap a new thread.

So far everyone that has this little compressor says it works OK for toping off tires, Thats what I'm looking for plus the ability to keep my Airbags to proper inflation. Don't want to spend the BIG bucks that Ride-rite wants for a pump kit.

No idea what the OEM thread pitch or taper was... I only know that the 1/4-18 NPT tap is what is needed to turn the head into something that can use US standard (SAE?)air quick disconnects, hose fittings, and tools. I'd be careful using it on the airbags as it's a relatively high volume high pressure pump. I use a hand pump to fill the airbags on our class C.

I have the same compressor. Please report back when you get your hose modified. I have not found anything that will work yet.

Okay Ron here you go... First Remember that this modification will void your warranty on the compressor. With that in mind:

1. Remove the OEM quick disconnect fitting

2. Use a 1/4-18 NPT tap (smear grease on the tap) and run it in part way, then remove it clean the debris, repeat the process, till it's done.
Keep the hole down if not using grease on the tap so when you tap the shavings fall out.

OR... Remove the head (4 socket head cap screws on top) and put it in a vise. Make sure and pay attention to the gaskets and intake "plenum" when you disassemble the head so you can put it back together correctly.

By doing this you can use any standard 1/4-18 NPT fitting and then add a standard Quick disconnect, air hose and chuck.

Remember this in not a large compressor and is not designed to run air tools. It only puts out 2.5 CFM and has a has a duty cycle of no longer than 40 minutes.

Took it out for an exercise run (every 2 weeks) and was greeted by a foggy windshield and coolant smell once out on the road.

At least we were not all packed up and ready to go somewhere!

Now to ponder replace or block it off....It's FL; if I need heat that bad, I'll just pull the doghouse back a little and turn up the radio.

I installed a new oem steering stabilizer on my e350SD. The original unit got a rock nick on the shaft which in turn ruined the seal so it has been slowly leaking for a while. I have noticed diminishing dampening each and every time I drive it.
I installed a boot kit with this new damper so it will last a long time. Total with the tax = $50

Finally! (They'd been here since before Christmas...) installed three MaxxAir vent covers on the Jayco. The "original" Maxxair went on the bathroom vent exactly according to the instructions. The MaxxAir-II's for the power vents in living and bedroom area were one of those things that just doesn't go according to plan. But they're on.
Cleaned up some parts on the Holiday, about ready to advertise for sale along with the dolly.

Traded in TT and got the motorhome on the 17th. Since then have cleaned doghair and bird feathers, from everything. Treated mold under front bunk. Moved backup camera monitor from visor to center mounted mirror position and removed the mirror. And today cut the wire on the seatbelt buckle so the thing would quit binging at me (annoying ford)

It works great. Takes a little while to get the last 5 psi in my 95 psi tires. That makes the screw on inflation connector a plus with the pump.

Since I only have to go to 65 psi I don't believe that it'll be a problem.
