1978 air srep
Do you have any schematics at all of your coach?
What else would you like, like I said I have redrawn many of them.

I have redrawn my wiring diagrams to schematics, and I only have one relay
to work with, not the 4 like on the SP. Eventually if all goes well I will
download them into the files section as well.
If you got fax number I can fax you the one I have redrawn.

Bill,
I have the ‘blue box’ and several wiring diagrams. I am still trying to
fathom all the data. I think the biggest challenge is finding the location
of the components.

Note that the '78 has only one limit switch and a different wiring
than the '84, best to find the correct wiring diagram to start. '84
had two different wiring diagrams for the air-step depending on the
production date.

Jeff:
I have to agree, finding the right drawings for the coach you have is the
ultimate answer. Certainly, the newer coach with 4 relays is a far cry from
what I have or I imagine the 78 has.
What is a "tape switch"?
I called BB and they said that they only have wiring diagrams, is that all you
have as well, or did they at one time have schematics as well.

Wiring diagrams. Somewhat of a hybrid, but more iring diagram than
anything.

The tape switch is a N.O. switch on the underside of the body above
the step, designed to reverse (extend) the step if it retracts and
pinches a foot between the step and body.

Most of them have been disconnected, the rest will be eventually.
Usualy fails closed.

OK, well that would be easy to modify with a pressure switch, very reliable
too, and quite a safeguard, will have to look into that.

Thanks

1978 air srep
Jeff,
I did some checking and determined the valve was getting power but wasn’t
working. I found the single relay as you suggested. Tom (the previous owner)
left a new Granger valve with all the trimmings in the coach. I hooked it up
and the step works fine. Unfortunately the step needs to be rebuilt due to
rust, so I’m half way there.

By the way, I have tons of drawings and books and service history since
1990 thanks to attentive previous owners. I have been referencing them each
time I find something I don’t understand.

My wife has been deep cleaning the interior for two days. She keeps
remarking on how well the coach is laid out and how easy things are to
clean, like the headliner. The fit, finish and quality is showing up
everywhere. Now all I need to do is figure out each electrical circuit and
check it for proper functionality. Here is where time has taken its toll.
Old switches and connections, a little home spun repair work and dirt and
moisture.

Thanks again for your help,

Gardner

Note that the '78 has only one limit switch and a different wiring
than the '84, best to find the correct wiring diagram to start. '84
had two different wiring diagrams for the air-step depending on the
production date.

Gardner: I'm happy the war department is on the same page with you. Keep
pecking away, you will be glad you did. There's nothing like a good BB, old or
new.

Jeff,
I did some checking and determined the valve was getting power but wasn't
working. I found the single relay as you suggested. Tom (the previous owner)
left a new Granger valve with all the trimmings in the coach. I hooked it up
and the step works fine. Unfortunately the step needs to be rebuilt due to
rust, so I'm half way there.

By the way, I have tons of drawings and books and service history since
1990 thanks to attentive previous owners. I have been referencing them each
time I find something I don't understand.

My wife has been deep cleaning the interior for two days. She keeps
remarking on how well the coach is laid out and how easy things are to

everywhere. Now all I need to do is figure out each electrical circuit and
