I just found out that on my drive home that the leveler adjuster for the air suspension system sheared off. resulting in an airbag or valve failure. I called Spartan 1.800.722.3025 they asked for the last 7 digits of the Vehicle Vin number.

Front Airbags PN# 0492-DD1 @ 131.54 ea
Rear Airbags PN# 12884-01 @ 139.50 ea
Pipe Control Valve PN# 900540007 @ 73.65 ea

The website that Spartan uses to sell their parts is https://www.rvchassisparts.com

Also i was sent a pdf for the Spartan Chassis owners manual it is 10mb in size and will not upload - so i will email to josh.

Oh that is soooo cool looking! I love the design and styling of these!

Sorry to hear about the issue, should be a relatively easy fix and I believe those leveling valves are only about $85. I bought one a while back to carry as a spare when I thought my front right side was leaking but couldn't pinpoint it.

Thanks for sharing the info! I will get the manual uploaded asap and post it here.

Okay any idea's on how to get rid of yellowing or stained side walls. I would like to prep myself before i primer with grey or black.

That is a drag. Looks like it's just the white of the fiberglass gel coat that has oxidized and not a paint done over the fiberglass. I would think some serious polishing would need to be done or a new paint job. Polishing will be nearly impossible around those decals and may not even get deep enough into the finish to remove the yellow.

Might be worth trying a product like this http://www.poliglow-int.com/poli-ox-...dation-remover before resorting to more extreme measures?

[Josh]

Is that possibly old wax? Have you tried using some different cleaners in small spots to see if it comes off?

[matt.ahern]

I tried renew 3000 fiberglass from ppl store, no luck, bartenders friend and scrub sponge. recently used an electric sander with 120grit, that works, but not sure of the damage im causing?

[Josh]

Staining must be really deep into the finish. Problem with sanding like that is you may go too deep and ruin the finish or will leave scratches that you'll never be able to polish out and return to a gloss.

Been a while. How has this project turned out?
