blue box copies

[Chuck Wheeler]

Our 82 has ate valves also. Believe that they are "emergency" shutoff. I
had to use it when one of the brass elbows started leaking around the rear
tire. The Sporlan valves on our coach are on the right side under the
passengers feet and in the rear under the bed. Our "Summer/Winter switch
changes the routing of the coolant to bypass the heaters and only circulate
through the hot water heater and applies power the the thermostat controls
for the chassis heat. Sporlan is a valve manufacturer. I order parts for
my valves from Stephen Birtles. He hangs out on this forum. They are easy
to rebuild. I believe that the diagrams for the freshwater pluming are in
the "files" section of this site. All the early year FCs that I have been
around are logically the same, some of the components are is different
locations. Maybe I could talk to you about roads up there. We have Family
in Nebraska and Idaho and will be traveling through the area when the
weather is a little more hospitable.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] blue box copies



Last fall I bought my 1981 35FCRB that did not come with a "blue box".
I called BB about buying a copy of all the drawings. The reply was that
they don't have them for an 81, but have a set for an 83. I'm hesitant
to be looking at schematics for an 83 that may be different. Any
thoughts? Would anyone be interested in copying and selling me the 81
drawings? A quick question. Is the Sporlan valve a brand name or is it
a type? My summer/winter switch has been bypassed with two manual gate
valves in line under the drivers seat area. Also the water fill valve
from the outside doesn't work. To fill with fresh water, I manually
open some valves under the driver bed to fill the tanks. That original
valve is in the w/h closet. Seem to have several of these solenoid type
water valves that need to be replaced. Trying to get educated. Jim in
