Finally.... I got a Bird

[Slacker]

After a years of search, I got my Bird. It is 99 43Xli. Just finished 2k miles from New Oleans to Los Angeles. I must say the esperience was all I expected from the bird.
Being 20+ years old, it came with few cork packages. I got most of the bugs figured out but one seemingly simple(and important) problemis still unresolved.
The toilet only works when the engine is running. It works once or twice while the engine is off. Anyone can point me to the right direction. Perhalps I am missing some kind of switch??? The manual don't seems to indicate any procedure for this....

Is it air operated? If so, then you need to turn on the compressor for it to work. On my coach (which may or may not be the same as your coach), it is on the dashboard - look for a switch to turn it on.

does your stool use air to flush? thats the only thing I can think of. are you fluching it hooked up to city water or running off your water pump? Congrrats either way. very exciting. we all like pictures

Thank you all for the kind words.
I since isolated the problem to a faulty compressor.
Any suggestion on a reliable replacement vender?

Many thanks again

I am still figuring out how to do things in this forum. I will post a pix soon somehow.
