Will do Ernie. I bought a Senco dual tank model for the Bird. Nice &
small, 120 volt.

Kellie won't let me start the Detroit until I go outside & warn anyone
within 50 yards or so. This should solve that problem.

Pete can you use the Microphor pump to open the dump valves????

Pete,

I have two compressors; one dedicated to the Michrophor toilet that
runs off the house batteries and an auxiliary compressor the runs off
110 volt shore power or generator. The auxiliary generator, with a
switch on the right side of the steering wheel, second row from the
top, will inflate brakes, air bags and Dupree valves without running
the Series 60. Sometimes after a long time at rest, it is faster to
run the Series 60 to air up instead of waiting 30 - 45 minutes. I
know I have some air leaks that I will be addressing at the next
service visit.

I have the electric Microphor toliet on my 93, (They use the
electric model if the holding tank is directly under the stool) I
have the onboard aux. compressor which is used for opening the waste
valves (usually along with the help of the DUPREE VALVE TOOL , this
is something you can't be without. Also something to keep in mind is
that the drier valve on the clothes drier needs air to open. The red
light being on when it's in the open position is indicating only the
POSITION OF THE SWITCH. If you notice your clothes taking forever to
dry, visually check the position of the drier valve and see if it's
in the OPEN position with the red light on...This is how it work's on
my 93pt-40, your's might be different! Bob 93pt40

You just need to add an auxiliary compressor. My 92 coach came with
one and it is convenient. In an older BB I added a pancake compressor
that I purchased from Sears and it worked just fine. Just make sure
you go in before your spitter valve and filter.

Bob , Thanks. My floorplan also allow you to position the stool just
above the holding tank. The dryer vent info is good to know. I gave
up trying to dry in the washer/dryer now I know the problem.

_That's_ my question... can I? Is the Microphor compressor up to the
task?

Don,
Your electric Microphor has a nifty pushbutton rather than a handle,
right? I built the toilet surround cabinets and didn't have room for
the original handle.

FYI: Microphor makes both air and electric toilets for a reason; the
electric dumps straight down into the tank where the air assist is
designed to allow more freedom in the installation. It dumps into
a "hopper" then the valve closes and air pressure pushes the waste
from the hopper toward the tank through a 1 1/2" drain pipe. The air
model can be mounted several feet from the black tank. I've had both
and both have have always worked flawlessly. The electric has fewer
parts; I like that!

Tom,

I think you have the 'deluxe' model. I only have the one Microphor
compressor.

I do have an "air compressor master" switch -- which is (and has
been) set "on" but it doesn't seem to do anything. (I don't know if
it's wired to the Microphor compressor or not as that would have
taken some time to check.)
