1998 Intrigue air system maintenance

Yahoo Message Number: 95932
I have a couple of maintenance questions about the air system on my 1998 Intrigue: Is anyone familiar with the process for draining water from the air system as a manual process? Also does this CC have a filter/dryer that needs to be replaced or serviced periodically?

I have the manuals but I cannot seem to find a section describing this process or service schedule.

Thanks,
Mark M

My experience with a 98 Allure.

Three manual valves under driver in storage compartment for manual dump.

Air dryer is behind rear axle center. Let your air top off on the gauge and listen for the purge of air.

There is a service life to the air dryer and its components. Dryer is not the easiest to get to, if you can swing it have a service center check it.

I have chased air problems for a year, all sorted now. Dryer and purge replaced, all the ride height valves, and numerous air leaks.

Mark,

Drain the tanks, crawl under the coach and manually open the valves on the bottom of the tanks and drain them. Then change the air dryer filter and you should be good to go.

There are 3 valves in the front driver's side bay (front of the bay). With the system aired and the motor off, open the valves and "feel" the air coming out. I do them one at a time. It there is water in the system, you'll get your hand wet. There is a dryer cartridge located in the rear of the coach close to the axle. Not hard to replace if you do it correctly. Be careful!!!! I've replaced it once and rebuilt the dryer and purge valve. If your interested can give you a few pointers. It's been awhile. If you decide to do it make sure you have room under the coach with all of the air out of the bags!!!! While your under there, check the ride height valves for leakage. I bought a rebuilt cartridge from Napa at a significant savings. That was awhile ago.
