Schrader valve
Hi All, Whilst on site the other day, I noticed a pretty discrete schrader valve located just alongside the waste empty outlet. Anyone tell me what it's for? Should I be pumping air into it for some reason?

Re: Schrader valve
If the same as mine it is an extension from the spare wheel allowing you to check and top up the pressure without crawling underneath.

Re: Schrader valve
They are a good idea. Bought one for last van and moved it on to the Windsor when we bought it. Saves a lot of messing about under the van to check spare wheel pressure and inflating.
I cant remember the name (had it around 14 years) but mine was made not too far from here and was a reasonable price
edit: just remembered its a "Spareline"

Bought one similar to this:

So much easier to check the spare wheel pressure.

Re: Schrader valve
I have one on my Broadway, but I can't get it to work. The pressure hose won't latch onto the valve; it doesn't seem to be long enough. Also I can't get a proper tyre pressure meter reading. Is there a knack to it?

I had exactly the same problem on my Lancashire.Chinaexplorer wrote:I have one on my Broadway, but I can't get it to work. The pressure hose won't latch onto the valve; it doesn't seem to be long enough. Also I can't get a proper tyre pressure meter reading. Is there a knack to it?
I solved it by removing the washer that sits behind the nut that holds the valve in place on the skirt. I cannot remember whether i removed or relocated the washer to the other side of the skirt. Try it - then enough of the thread sticks out for the pin on the inflator to push down the end of the Schrader valve.

Re: Schrader valve
It's possible someone has fitted airbags to the van and linked them to a single Schraeder valve. I did this on my previous van
