Black Valves

[Kurt Horvath]

I like the air valves, fast, positive action, tough, great factory
service, I can't imagine that the electric units are built better
than the air units, and after looking at them online they are not
nearly as tough looking as the air valve, in my opinion, as far as
the new bird getting electric valves saving money is an incentive,
wave bye-bye to the classic bird, they are cheaper than the Duprez
Twist-Loc Power Valve. Air valve also operate in the traditional
manner, just pull and there she blows. As far as no air to operate,
my coach has auxiliary air, just hit the dash switch and in a few
minuets air to spare, You could make the same argument for no power ,
either situation would be rare. So I would say economy verses
quality, I like quality, If for no other reason the air valves are by
far way cooler, POWWOOSSSSHHHEE,!!!!!!!
