Helping a friend |

Been helping a friend with air leaks. Using an ultrasonic leak detector we identified five air leaks outside, without going under the coach. We also identified one air leak inside. Four of the leaks were push in air fittings and one leaking plastic shut off valve. All leaks were stopped using dot compression air fittings and replacing the plastic shut off valve with a metal ball valve.
The place to start in getting your coach air leak free is to go through your coach and replace all push in air fittings with brass dot compression type fittings. The time to do this is before you are sitting in a vacation spot and your air compressor runs all the time.
Push in air fittings are great money saving devices for production, but will begin leaking not long after the coach is put in use. I have been asked why Newell and Prevost convertors use push in air fittings............................It saves a tremendous amount of production time now, but headaches for the coach owner down the road.

Changes in the chassis/drivability/livability through the years. |

I was wondering if someone could address the significant changes and differences in the chassis construction, drivability, and certain features like IFS, etc as each model has evolved into the next. Although my budget will probably have me looking at a late 80s to early 90s model, I am quite sure others would be interested to know how things progressed through the decades. Obviously, things like propane disappeared and slide-outs became a norm, 8v92s were replaced with s60s and other engine offerings, but what where the things that made each model a "wow" improvement over the previous model designation?

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all.
My 300 amp alternator went out so I replaced it with a new one but the new one has an internal regulator and the old had an external Pentex PX 4000 regulator. The shop that sold me the new one gave me a diagram and explained that I only need the blue ignition wire in addition to battery and ground but did not mention doing anything with the existing regulator. It is not working properly and I now believe I was supposed to disconnect the wires from the old regulator but not sure what to do with them. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Thanks

I am grateful for all the members of NewellGurus, the administrators and to our founders Tom and Darlene. Together, you have built a platform to enrich each other's knowledge, to develop meaningful relationships with one another and to enjoy traveling throughout the U.S. and other countries represented by the memberships of this site.
This has been a tough year for many of us, with lockdowns, businesses closing, some permanently, deaths and hospitalizations and personal losses. But we are resilient and I for one am looking forward to what 2021 will bring.
Today is a day of joy and celebration. To over 2 Billion people, today represents the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ. I hope that to everyone, it represents a day of joy and friendship, a day of appreciation for the many wonders that surround us, and a day of togetherness, even if only by Zoom or Skype or Facetime. Today is a day of peace and love.
Please rejoice with Georgia and I. You have each contributed to a community that puts others first and pride last. That is a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel, Fröhliche Weihnachten, Boun Natale, Счастливого Рождества, メリークリスマス
