I have two questions on the bus on which I made a deal to purchase.

First, there is a small air compressor in the front passenger side beside the generator. There was a Valid component mounted on the wall behind the compressor so I'm assuming this is related to the Valid leveling system. Anyway, there are 3 rubber isolated mounts for this. All three appear to be broke or unscrewed as the compressor was just sitting on top of the rubber isolators and I could actually pick the compressor up by hand from the mounting frame. What do I need to fix that? (for the test drive I wrapped a short bungee strap around it but I have a 1200-mile drive home so I'd like to correct it).

Second, on the side radiator cover, there are 5 bolts/screws which hold it in place on the bottom. 4 of the 5 are missing. What size and type screw do I need for that?

Thank you!

I fixed mine not to long ago. I went to the local hardware store and both some rubber spacers. The screws are a #12 (or maybe #10) can’t remember from memory. Note in the enclosed picture the air pump has pulled off the front mount. I am about to fix this. Once the pump is again mounted to all three points I will use a tie wrap to keep it from backing off the front mount, which is what happened in the photo. You may also need to remount the filter. Mine was dangling off into space.

Yes, it is the auxiliary air compressor for when you are air leveled. The Valid system wakes up every so often and checks level. That compressor will come on if needed to supply air.

The one on my 2022 40IP kept blowing fuses. I checked everything. Finally noticed that the ground was attached to one of the screws that went through the rubber feet. The bracket it is all mounted on was also rubber isolated. I installed a ground directly to the frame and resolved that problem.
