Are you going with the hydraulic/air combo or just air? I am going to install the HWH air system this winter.

I am going with the Active Air System lol 8 grand for the hydraulic system is a little pricey but nice I had those on the Eagle

thomasinnv · June 16, 2016, 12:01:01 PM

Have you priced it? Where are you getting it from?

Dave5Cs · June 16, 2016, 02:43:13 PM

How much for the Active Air?

thomasinnv · June 16, 2016, 02:45:06 PM

I put a call in to my guy at HWH but he's out until tomorrow.

I received the parts I needed to restore the self steering function this morning. Upon inspection i find that the piston on the lock cylinder is broken and the pin is no longer attached. They are checking to see if they have another one they can send me. It's always something isn't it?

I have a dealer account with HWH but I haven't priced the system yet, I've only bought parts from them for repairing systems. If i ever get a call back from my sales rep i will let you know what my price is.

Been working on the steerable tag system. I have it mostly back together but still have a few issues to work out. I have installed the lock cylinder and all the reed switches, reconnected all the airlines to the appropriate locations, and tested everything out. The locking function operates as it should, but I still have some work to do on the latching mechanism. One set of roller guides and the retracting pin is completely gone, and the tongue plate is bent out of shape pretty bad. The lower roller guides are in pretty bad shape. More parts on the way from MCI. Still having a problem with the speed switch but I think I have it narrowed down to either the speed sensor or an atec problem. For now i have bypassed the speed switch and just leave the system disabled. Much fun.

It will be worth the time and money Derrick I love mine makes a 45 ft seem like driving 30 footer but watch the tail swing it will get you lol I found that out

thomasinnv · June 25, 2016, 12:21:18 PM

Hey cliff any idea on a oem part number for the speed sensor on the B500? Mci wants over 300 for it.

luvrbus · June 25, 2016, 12:28:04 PM

Mine uses a 29509637 I forgot the price but it was under a 100 bucks with the 29543433 turbine speed sensor

thomasinnv · June 25, 2016, 12:36:54 PM

I found one brand new on the e place. I would assume mine would be the same as yours, they're only a few years difference?
