I have a valve, water separator and cooling coil per the Cinnabar
instructions.

As we often have 4-6 people moving about in the coach ('77 Kinsley -
ElectroLevel I), make frequent stops along the way which requires
re-leveling, the compressor runs frequently.

I am surprised at the amount of water in the separator bowl. I don't know if
you put your leveling system under as much of a test as we do, but this
setup does a great job for us, and is very trouble free.

Getting the water out of the air from the compressor made my (internal)
valve leaks a thing of the past due to crud under the valve seats.

I'd recommend the upgrade.

Mark:

Why do you find it necessary to re-level your coach so frequently??? I
have the Electro-level II and keep the switches in the hold position
other than when leveling.

We routinely travel with seven people in the coach and never find it
necessary to level, other than to check the level every month or so.

And of course SS ball valves at the air bags maintains level.

Sam:

You're right on that.

I should have mentioned them, as I have them, primarily because the
tubing running to the dual needle air gauge on my McNeal instrument
panel leaks somewhere. I haven't yet taken the time to trace down the
leak(s).

Sam, Paul --

No valves at the air bags, and all tubing and electric valves have been
replaced, and to the best of my knowledge, leak free.

Perhaps that's one difference.
