Day 125: When we got to the Fiesta Key KOA, we started to back
into our assigned
site. At that point, the low air-pressure alarm started to
sound! Our RV has an on-board air compressor, which is used for
air-brakes, when we are stopping, and for air-suspension, which
supports the coach body above the frame when we are traveling. As
luck would have it, the air system failed just as we got the coach
parked. With out sufficient air pressure, the air-brakes cannot
be released, meaning that we were stuck where we were until repairs
could be made. The unit that failed is located behind the rear
wheel, and behind the two compartments shown in the picture
above. Which means it is also located behind the decorative logs
used around the utility connections that the campground supplies.
Note also, that the back of the area has a mud-flap (or dirt-skirt) to
protect our towed vehicle. The exhaust system also runs through
here (you can see the tip of the exhaust pipe sticking out just under
the bumper in the rear).
