Air Brake Plunger Protector for Motorhome

[Richpatty]

Wow, looks like ou have it on backwards...the entire unit is supposed to be behind the square end. I see it is in the recess. That recess is there to clear the mounting collar nut that secures the brake valve to the dash panel.

You may need a remixed design to match your brake valve handle.

D’oh!

Interesting…so I flipped it around and it fits both ways! When I saw the notch, I figured it was for the button…and it fit like a glove, so I thought that was part of the design.

Thanks for the clarification. Clearly some people need more instructions, eh?

Excellent!

I couldn't tell if maybe it wouldn't fit as designed. Good to know it works!!

Yeah the clip on model is my go to now that we aren't camping with pets and don't have any small children running around. I do resort to the padlock version if I am going to be under the coach, especually if there is air in the brake system (which could withdraw the parking brake spring)...

Thanks Neil, I see an oak version in my future

Are these all the RVs you have bought? are they good ones to own or did you get rid of them because they were not good? I am taking notes on which to look at to buy and which ones to not, lol.

No mold needed @TJ&LadyDi. You just mold it with your hands. Sugru is great stuff, it’s kinda like curable play-doh but when it sets, its a pretty strong silicone. Just have to be okay with it not necessarily looking like a professionally manufactured item but if you take your time, things made out of Sugru can come out pretty nice.

There’s also InstaMorph but I’ve not had great success making anything sizable with it because you have to mold it while it’s still pretty hot. Also, InstaMorph sets into a pretty hard plastic with little flex. Great if you need something relatively small and durable. I have some sitting around somewhere, think I might make an Awning Remote Control Holder this weekend when I get back home.

I like to fidget when I watch TV and these things at least allow my fidgeting to produce somewhat useful things.

I am going to look into this "Sugru" stuff. Sounds kind of cool

Yes I have purchased all of them new. The only one I regret is the 2023 Dutch Star, not saying that all 2023 DS’s are bad, this one had many major flaws. It was so bad that I sold it in less then a year at a substantial loss. This thread is not about this, so back to the original thread

Sorry for not sticking to the thread, still learning about social media stuff, lol.

No worries, a question here and there is bad, it’s when the thread takes off in another direction.
