Finally tackled this “job”. Overall not to difficult, took about 3.5 hours to do even with my broken big toe. I ordered the new valve bodies from Amazon.com: Valterra T1003PBC 3” Valve Body for about $26 each.
The replacement process is pretty straight forward, here is a short outline of what I did:
Time for some tow bar maintenance! Our Blue Ox Aventa LX has served us well, but was getting a bit stiff to move ball-in-socket and the arms, plus there were some creaks, squeaks and groans (Oh My) when any of them were moved.
We decided to replace our bathroom faucet with a new “bolder” one to freshen the look a bit. The old one a.k.a the “toad in the corner” design worked fine but there was not much room under it for you to wash you hands, etc.
One of our bay door lock actuators failed and needed to be replaced. The servo contains a small electric motor with worm gear to activate the lock. The original manufacturer, VPA, stopped production for this actuator many years ago and Foretravel parts, when they still had them in stock, wanted $79 each!
I did some experimenting with some LED pucks that I have. In the background of the videos you can see the power supply where I range the input voltage to the pucks from about 6.5Vdc to 15Vdc. This is done in a constant voltage mode (green numbers) allowing it to pull the amps that it wanted (the red numbers)
