Those are way nicer then what they put in ours. I like them.
If we had those I wouldn't of had to change them.

I did a little up grade today. I've been wanting to isolate my air bags from my in bed air quick-coupler. In the past 8 years I've used my onboard air compressor to fill quad, razor, bicycle, and car/truck tires. But I've never been able to build up enough pressure to air my Trail-air pin box. Before today I kept loosing my built up pressure into the air bags. Now I can shut off the bags and send pressure directly to the air hose only. Hope it works

Does anybody have a picture of where the original LM 365 faucet drops the water ??? I didn't get one before I removed then.

I have your original faucet in my Torque and you can barely get your hand under the stream. Ill take a picture next week.
SPRING BREAK!

Jerrod - As a tip - I found it easier to air up the Trailair bag when the trailer wasn't on the truck.

Thanks Jim, now with level up I can take the weight off the bag very easily.
With the trailer weight on the truck it's close to 120psi.

You know none of this makes any sense. I fill my air bag up with trailer hooked up no problem. I don't think your air bag should have that much pressure on it. I put mine at roughly 60 to 80 psi.

My pin weight is over 4000 lbs I'll check it next week before we leave

Dave - when I had the Trailair, I used 100-110 PSI to get the line just below the arrows. I had a 4.0-4.2k pin. I recall it was really hard to top up when I was hitched. Easy-peasy when unhitched to fill to 110, hitch, then bleed off if needed.

Really weird but I don't have the trail air.

Thanks Jim I was thinking it was just me.

My toyhualer was even worse when the garage was empty.

Yeah. I don't have that much pin weight on mine but my thinking is it is no different than filling the air bags on a truck.

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Ya I agree, I run my TV bags at about 60psi
But I'm thinking 2 smaller bags and leaf springs is a big difference the all of the pin weight on 1 bag all by itself.

[Bones]

can you fill the air bag while hitched up?

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Ya with my home air compressor or at a tire shop. But I couldn't with my onboard air compressor. Now I think with this valve I think I'll be able to. If not I can take the weight off and do it like Jim suggested.

But what I'm trying to figure out 100 lbs is 100lbs no matter what container it is in. Am I assuming that you put in maybe 80 in the air bag and with compression and reduction of volume the air pressure rises to the pressure needed to keep you at the line?

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Correct
but weight changes pressure.
If I have 25psi on the pickup bags then back under the trailer those bags go up to 60 -70 psi without ever adding a pound.
On my Trail-air that pressure changes all the time, depending on what we load in the trailer for each trip, by how much fresh water & gray water in the tanks. wether changes, and altatue. So it's always a challenge to keep it on the mark.
Last time I checked it loaded and on the truck it was over 110psi

Why not just install a auto valve? http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/r...j8VsFMVmarvHvWUiW_e8FZU_cw5_f7hgGQaAoB68P8HAQ

 

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

That would work on the truck with a compressor and air tank. But would not work on at Trail-air pin box

This new Furrion transfer switch does not compare to the TRC Surge Guard transfer switch. I feeling a little hesitant to settle.
