Need Help With 12 Volt Water System...

[orbitalsolutions]

Hello, Dave!

I found the pressure relief valve. There is what looks to be a plug
coming out of the end of it. I rapped lightly on it with a bearing
hammer but no luck so far. Is the valve internal, or would I see
the end (plug looking thing) retract if it seats?

The bus is running great. I have more fun driving in this 'Bird
than I would in a Ferrari. Honestly. Drove 163W this morning in 95
degree heat, went up some major uprgrades, and the old 'Bird never
flinched, stayed nice and cool and ran strong all day.

Thanks again for selling me such a nice Wanderlodge. Practically
everyone that sees it stops and stares as if they were looking at a
space ship from Mars!

Oh well, back to do some more plumbing work.
