Sorry I have been off grid and went to DeLa Syncro over this past weekend
up Whistler way.  Got a new valve installed - was able to have IB Motors
swap a new one in for me - very nice of them.   It wasn’t the German
control valve sold by GW - so eventually I will replace what is there.

The van ran very well on the highway and I was also impressed with the
trail riding and how all the vans performed on some pretty narrow, steep
and rocky trails.

And my old Dometic kept things nice and cold.  Saw some very cool vans.

Lots of fun.
