Anybody have reccomendations for an air horn setup? Just got off the phone with Lynch Hummer and they say STAY AWAY from the REALWHEELS horn!! He said that literally EVER SINGLE horn they sold has came back with problems, usually in the valves. He went on to say that in order to get it fixed you have to send it in and that most are without the horn more frequently than they have it installed. He strongly strongly urged me to stay away from the realwheels horn!!
Any suggestions or aftermarket air horns that anyone has experience with??
Thanks

This is why I carry a donor card - and why everyone else should as well - Good luck to you - enjoy the trip and remember that the surfing urge is well earned.

I am not sure if you realize it but the RealWheels kit is made by hadely. Real Wheels markets the kit for Hadely. Ya, when it works its cool......

The only thing is will that fit under the hood? You may have to mount the compressor (like Dan did) in another location and run lines from the compressor under the hood to the Air Horns.

I've been through 2 of the Real Wheels horns. The first one blew the valve off while I was refilling a friends tire and the second one where it screws into the air tank somehow sprung a leak. I just took it off and threw it in the garage till I get bored enough to try to fix it.

It has two couches that pull out into beds. Would hold 4 kids. Monaco will also do custom work and make about any plan you want for a price.

Here are links to Whelen for an electronic airhorn with or without PA. The speaker is easy to mount behind the grill of in the engine compartment. This is the airhorn on firetrucks.

Don't worry CP, you'll get some buns pics even if I have to take them myself!
My horns are working pretty good. The bell (back round part with the diaphram in it) loosened on two of them and stopped sounding. I sent them back to the place I bought them, who then forwarded them to Grover. Apparently Grover is the manufacturer. I got them back in the mail with an instruction sheet on how to "voice" them. Basically you take them off the manifold, put air through each one and mess with the bell until it sounds clean. I thoroughly enjoyed irritating the neighbors tuning them! 
Theyre back in the truck and they sound good. I wrapped the joint where the bell meets the trumpet with aluminum tape to keep them from loosening up again.

That's really where I want to be and having quad slides is the deal. Except I need a plan where they have the small bunks on one side for 2 kids.
Cool deal, I'm jealous.

CP,
The buns in Ken's avatar work just fine for me. Do we need any more bun pics?

Humm This, your problem has been discussed before. Taking it back is the solution.
