Hi I have this dryer in my driver bay and cannot identify the model. I have no reference to it in my manuals. Can anyone point me to some online links to a manual for service and parts? Pic in photos

I don't know if I can find all the work I did on this but the compressor does have a part number which did not turn out to be very helpful as there has been changes in the ownership of the company that made the compressor; the compressor is still available. The filter elements were obtained by KWH as a kit and installed in the leveling system. Neither current distributors of Parker products nor KWH were able to provide any individual part numbers; although KWH said that could still get the complete kit for $$$$$. I found a generic screw in filter for the compressor at Grainger Part #4F430. I took in the old part and they matched it. The dessicant filter is Parker #PS701P (40 microns) $18.00 on Amazon. Parker distributors prices were double that and you had to buy two. I was never able to find a service center that had ever serviced that unit and found no one who knew where to get the parts. Another member on this site turned me on to Amazon for the dessicant filter.

Thanks Dan, Barney has sent me over some stuff on a PM (probably could not see through the plethora of flaming posts) and I have just ordered the filters from Amazon. Can you recall the fitting procedure, did you just unscrew the glass bulb and replace or do you have to dump air or flick a valve or something?

On the desiccant filter I unscrewed the collar on the glass bulb and I remember I had to force it a little to get the glass bulb out a little so I could get to the filter. I didn't want to try and disassemble everything. I have done this a couple of times while I was trying to come up with answers and it didn't break.

Good luck,

Could you post the information for the filters? I'd like to change mine. This information might go a long way toward making the forum useful again.

Hi Bob,

You can get them from Amazon:-
Parker PS702P Plastic Filter Element for 06F and 06E Series Filter/Regulator,... (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00847W1JE/ref=asc_df_B00847W1JE2374025)
Got this heads up from Barney and mine are on the way, but they have now gone to 3-6 weeks delivery I see, so I had the last 2 in stock, sorry. If you Google the part number Parker PS702P Plastic Filter Element You may get other purchase options, there seem several in the US, Sears for example.
I have not inspected my install in detail but a similar thread I started on iRV2, threw up someone struggling to release the bowl due to its proximity to the floor of the bay. I will look closer when mine arrives, there is an O ring in the pack and I want to be sure and have that in case the existing one is shot once I remove the bowl!!

The Amazon site referenced shows a 5 micron filter the one in my coach was a 40 micron which I did buy the replacement on Amazon.
