Air Force One and Toyota Land Cruiser Install
#1

Connections and installation of the Air Force One from Demco manufacturing

I bought the Demco Air Force One in March 2024 to install on our coach and run the brake system on our 2006 Lexus LX470 (Toyota Land Cruiser).
There is an air tank that mounts to the coach that will have to be plumbed into the coach air brake system and will activate the AF1 when the brake pedal is pushed down in the coach.  
The AF1 consists of a main operating unit/module that is installed in the engine bay, an air cylinder (valve/plunger) that mounts to the physical brake in the vehicle, a hydro boost kit, quick connect kit for the toad and a breakaway system.  
There is also an alert system for when the brakes are applied in the toad or in case of a breakaway.  This can be wired up to the driver area or used wirelessly (with the correct equipment) and plugged in to the cigarette lighter in the driver compartment (along with all the other stuff you have plugged into that socket!) - I suppose it can be hard-wired into the 12-volt electrical system also.

I will (hopefully) show the installation of both the toad and coach here.
Questions for those who have installed the AF1 on the coach: 
- Where did you install the air tank assembly
- I read through the threads I could find and will use what was suggested (I think it was to add a T in-line to the brake system on the coach but will research and update this) - I think that was the best/easiest suggestion… 
I stole the following from one of Richard’s comments and will try this method to get air to the toad from the coach:
“For the service air line, come up to the air line that feeds the six pack. It usually has a gauge on it. Install a tee and pull your service air from there. …snipped… Of course test this out first.  As a short cut for the sanity test. Use a couple of quick connects to temporarily plumb the AF1. Put the metered quick connect in the existing M&G coupling. Put the Air supply line quick connect into that air line connection in the lower left rear of the passenger engine bay. That will allow you to test the function.”  Original Post
