Hello Scott and the Dr.
Thanks for the reply to my VAC question about regulators.
Scott, I agree with you in regards to the quality of the Fisher....as a
matter of fact the valve that I have on my trailer is a Fisher. Trouble is ,
I purchased it as NOS on Ebay a couple of years back and I suspect it could
be 10 years or older and I was told that regulators that just sit on the
shelf could have bad rubber diaphragms. Any way I do wish to replace it with
another Fisher and as you have made comment, the RV stores deal in the cheap
units. Any idea of a retail location available perhaps on the web? I would
also consider having this one repaired as it looks brand new but I have no
idea who may work on it.
Thanks again for your reply
Regards
