John, Brett,
I hate to be so dense that I can't fully comprehend what you two are saying because it sounds like each of you have opposing concepts.
First, let me say that I have read many posts from both of you and acknowledge that I am outgunned with your knowledge and experience on these coaches. This is my first diesel pusher; I've had it for 15 years and I'm still learning.
I hate to rehash the same topic but I really would like to understand how the system works. According to Brett (as I understand prior posts), the parking brake is spring loaded and in case of a catastrophic hydraulic loss will fail in the "ON" position, i.e., the drive train will not rotate. When the Parking Brake control is pushed IN, hydraulic pressure will overcome the spring pressure
and allow free rotation. Brett further states that the proper setting for the parking brake is that it should be adjusted so that the engine cannot move the coach when the brake is on, even if the engine is rev'ed while in DRIVE. While I appreciate that concept, my desire for a parking brake is to prevent the coach from rolling while parked on a moderate grade and also while stopped momentarily in DRIVE. If it had been otherwise, I would have wiped out my drive train two years ago in Yellowstone Park.
I'm happy with my current adjustment and to each his own.
In re-reading this, it sounds like I'm trying to be confrontational but that was not my intent.
Merry Christmas,

Art,
You jogged my memory a bit. We had this conversation back in the end of September on another forum. Your loss of hydraulics was while you were driving, thus, your brake was already released, and it would stay released whether you lost hydraulics or not (its hydraulically locked). Once you apply the parking brake with total hydraulic failure, would would not be able to release that brake again, unless you mechanically disconnected the parking brake linkage. Let me know if you need further explaining. John

Mel,
Per my post message yesterday, I left a link to a tank from Northertools for a universal hydraulic tank that one could easily modify to work on their coach. For what ever reason, my computer doesn't show the post numbers of the conversations posted, so I will copy and paste the link and my conversation from yesterday. BTW, this is why I really dislike when members post a message with out showing the previous message they are replying too. One has no way of knowing who it is referring to and what exactly they are talking about, and considering that these conversations are supposed to help all members, it ends up doing the exact opposite. It just creates confusion and wastes time when one has to re-post or ask additional questions. It is very annoying and unproductive! End of rant. :)
PS: Mel, you are actually one of the few who do it right and then some. You not only leave the previous message, but you highlight in red the part of the message you are referring too. An excellent system that I'm even starting to use! Kudos! :)
Link: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200466862_200466862Yesterdays conversation: Phil,
Consider
taking the tank to NAPA or a truck parts place. Since you have lots of
room, they could find something for you that has similar capacity and
would fit.
Also, not all coaches are the same. For an
example, on my coach the power steering hydraulic fluid, is also used
for the hydro-boost for the brakes and for the parking brake. It is high
capacity and is a big safety factor if God forbid you would run out of
that oil. One of our members had a situation like that, and scary was an
understatement. I don't know your set up, but your buddies coach with
the smaller reservoir, might have air brakes, which would leave the
hydraulics only for the power steering, thus much less capacity needed.
Here
are some examples of hydraulic tanks that you could fit in your
compartment. Also, going larger is better that smaller for your
situation. (JMHO)

You could get adapters to make the fittings work and this one would likely never crack.

Another common size that will work, but is a slightly lower profile is, 255/70R22.5 This tire will ride harsher then the 9R22.5 or the 265/75R22.5

Dean,
As per my signature, I have a '95 Serengeti (w/o the Ivory package),
it is pretty much the same coach as you have. I originally had 9R22.5
and now I have Goodyear 265/75R22.5 tires. Going to this size was the
best move I've made, it handles great, rides a lot smoother, and the
tires are not maxed out weight wise the way they were with the
original size. I couldn't be happier. Also, there were no issues with
dual wheel spacing or rim width. Like Brett mentioned, those tires fit
on the stock 6.75" rim.
I hope this helps.
