Possibly on the steering wheel......and the horn does not work. Bad relay or it needs to be taken apart and cleaned.
PS: Do you have an electric compressor for the roof horn....and where is it ?

Our coach had a toggle switch on the dash where if flipped up it would activate the solenoid valve to the air horn when depressing the horn pad on steering wheel and sound both air horn & electric horn.
Later I replaced the toggle switch with a pressure "on" button where I could just activate the air horn without the electric one.
Good luck finding your air horn button, & let us know when & where you find it...
Safe travels...

Should be the center of the steering wheel. I haven't used the horn in years, don't even know if it works.

Look for a switch labeled "CITY"....."HIGHWAY" on the Dash or Arm Console Drivers side.
CITY = Regular Horn
HIGHWAY = Air Horns
My arm rest console, drivers side looks like this. Most certainly your switch will be in another position. Mine is # 13 in this drawing.

Both operate off the steering wheel. Roof horns are electric, if not working check if they are getting power. If getting power take them apart and clean them. It's a common problem for them to get rusted and bugs in them.

Is there an electric compressor for the roof horns....and if so, where might it be located?

Thanks all for the info. Knowing that there is a switch and it operates off the steering wheel gives me a start in trouble shooting.

I may be wrong, however I believe NRV used electric only horns on gas models.

No compressor, horns are electric just like in a car. They only look like air horns. Look at the horns on the roof, you will only see a wire going to them no air line.

I have Grover electric horns on my Dolphin, and they did not work when I purchased the moho. I discovered they were full of dead bugs, and the gaskets were shot. You can order repair kits on line, along with a guard that covers the horn and mutes it a bit, but prevents the bugs from filling them up again. You can also buy sheets of the gasket material at most auto parts stores and just cut the new gaskets out. However, I have found it is best to just leave them on the roof where they can look pretty, and install louder horns in the engine compartment if you feel you really need them. I have probably only used the horn in my moho a few times in the 10 years of owning it, and would rather have a siren and red flashing lights installed.

We have dual electric horns on our Dolphin. I had assumed they were Grover, especially since I have a large list of all the companies who supplied parts to National. Grover is listed. No clear pvc line for air going into horns. Just two black wires.
I asked them for info on spare parts and a diagram, as they are weak sounding. They wrote back indicating they did not supply all-electric horns to National. Think they did supply air compressor horns for National's diesel engine chassis.
I looked at our horns and there are no marks or nameplate. I have read how easy it is to take apart, clean, cut new gaskets and adjust. HA.... not for yours truly.
Who has a gas W22 with roof horns......and who made them ?
