Auxiliary leveling air compressor - problems!!!!!

On my 08 Monaco Dynasty 42' tag I have both the hydraulic and air leveling system, it has worked great until driving north on I- 35 thru Dallas (bad road). The mounting bracket for the Power Gear auxiliary air compressor broke and we felt something slam up into the floor of the coach a couple of time before i could get off the interstate, come to find out it was the Power Gear compressor. Once i figured out what was happening i crawled under the coach and disconnected the 1 piece of 1/4" plastic tubing that was still holding the compressor. My question is ....is anyone familiar with the wiring or plumbing enough to describe how it was connected prior to this incident? The only thing under the coach that is close to the damaged bracket mount is 2 damaged wire connectors and 1 piece of 1/4" tubing, on the Power Gear air compressor I also have 1 piece of 1/4" tubing and 2 wires that are stripped clean. I have done some checking on different threads on this site and am now concerned that i may have lost some other pieces.......such as a pressure sensor. I did speak with Monaco Technical service today and they sent me some diagrams, but it appears different than what i have..... anybody feel like crawling under there coach and taking pictures? If you live close to Pearland, Tx dinner's on me........

The compressor, then the check valve, which should still be connected, a short piece of airline to a tee, one side of the tee is airline to a 90/120 pressure switch on which a hot wire is connected to from the coach, the other side of the switch is a wire to the compressor. The other side of the tee is an airline that goes to the leveling tank. Finally the ground wire from the coach goes to the other side of the compressor. Hope this helps.

reggie,

If it helps, I can crawl under coach in next day or so and take a couple of pictures and email them to you. Email me at bhoward27@aol.com if you think that will help.

I have a valid air leveling system only. I don't have hydraulics/jacks.

I was able to get tubing layout and wiring diagrams from Monaco technical service, they were very helpful. Also found a used compressor online for about 20% of what they wanted for a new one........but thank you for the offer!
