Mine is mounted on a metal shelf where I try to keep my power cords and other
parts. BB "special engineering". I finally put a piece of gorilla tape over mine
so I would quit bumping it into the "off position". if you haven't tried gorilla
tape get some it makes duck tape look like play tape.

Is this toggle switch on the compressor or the wall next to the compressor?

Thanks, JC.

Mine is a 415 accdg to that sheet. Thanks for the info. Either the pump is bad (which is doubtful..hardly 2 years old and not used much) or the plunger valve under the lavatory that activates is bad (again). I could flush it but only by putting the emergency tire chuck on the intake end of the pump, which is kind of embarrassing for people to shoutthrough the bathroom windowthat they're "done." I don't know whether it was more fun to flush it in the sun, the wind, the traffic or the rain.

Also, my generator/ac system(s) started acting up, blowing black smoke and soot all over the side of the coach, leg #1 voltage was waving around from 100 to 140v before shutting off temporarily. It might be the zone 1 AC, not sure. Plus, my refrigerator apparently cools only when the coach is stationary. Nothing like generatorefigeratoilet trouble on a trip with 7 people. They sure won'ttake another Father's Day weekend trip with me next year.

Uh, Ralph....if you don't mind me calling you in the next couple days, please email meprivately at my hotmail account. Thanks.

Brad,
The 12V pump for the tiolet is probably a Denver Thomas WOB-L pump. Here's a link to their listing of all their WOB-L pumps:

http://www.gd-thomas.com/productSubCategoryList.aspx?tp=pv&tc=10698

It's probably a model 405, about half way down the page. There is a rebuild kit available from one of their distributors. It may have burned up the brushes, like mine did. I was able to get the brush assembly plate from Grainger.

Black smoke and soot is a sign that you need a new air filter component for the generator. Check where the output of the breather tube is -- mine was 6" from the air intake. I replaced the breather tube with a new, longer tube that I routed out the bottom of the generator case (through the sponge-rubber where the door and box meet). Air filters now last twice as long as before....
