Townesw Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Summary: make sure your accumulator is not rubbing against the bottom of the curb side bunk. Check the cutouts above the rear jacks. Check the duct under the curb side bunk. I noticed black dust on the board that the water pump and accumulator are mounted to. Turns out that the pump, piping, accumulator, valve, etc. assembly doesn’t really fit together well but it is screwed to the board anyway. The misalignment between the pump and accumulator caused the rubber bushing in the mount on one side of the accumulator to become dislocated and the accumulator rubbed against the bottom surface of the curb side bunk. I caught it before it wore through. I also noticed that both cutouts to access the studs to manually operate the rear jacks don't line up with the studs and would have made it hard to manually operate the jacks. I’ll enlarge these later. Also the 2 bolts on the rear curb side jack could rub through the heater duct. 5 4 1 2 Bill and Martha 2018 LEII Hull 313 Original owners 3/14/2018 2019 Chevrolet 2500HD Duramax

jd1923 Posted June 7 Posted June 7 @Townesw it's strange how from hull #113 to #313 there is such a difference! The crank on my rear stabilizer jacks (both sides) are 2-3" from the edge. 1 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
Townesw Posted June 8 Author Posted June 8 @jd1923 What is the stuff attached to the Simpson Strong Tie? Have you replaced the quarter turn valves with solenoids? Bill and Martha 2018 LEII Hull 313 Original owners 3/14/2018 2019 Chevrolet 2500HD Duramax

Yes Bill, they are actually motorized ball valves. Here is the upgrade thread: 1 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

Our 2017 LE2 was configured the same way - just re-mount/re-plumb that stuff around to make the accumulator fit like this, buddy: We'll do it this summer when you come over for a visit! We'll even make room for a small MT. Bike Pump for when the accumulator drops pressure! HA! Cheers!

jd1923 Posted June 23 Posted June 23 @MAX Burner my comment was re the stabilizer Jack being further from the edge (see pics above). We don’t need no schtinken ‘cumulator, REMCO pump Made in USA, variable speed pump, they suggest no accumulator necessary. 🤣 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

Of course. Frankly, after installing the accumulator last year, I still can't tell the difference at any of the points of usage. Been playing with pressures between 15 and 30psi. Whatever....
