I just learned that FMCA is partnering with Hankook Tires for their Tire Savings program. They are continuing the Michelin Advantage and Continental Choice Program as well. In most cases light truck and passenger tires can qualify for these programs. There are differences in the programs so one would need to get all the facts.

I am having issues with our 110v GAST compressor. The compressor is fine but the motor will not always start. I suspicion a bad armature. I priced a new GAST at about $600. Just curious if there is a less expensive replacement on the market.
Thanks

Does anybody know if Newell ever installed one of these in their coaches?  Apparently it slowly evaporates alcohol into the air brake system to keep moisture problems at a minimum.

Seems like a viable idea.

I am posting this for Mike Ginn. 

Today, he had a very bizzare occurence. He had to make a hard brake, then he noticed that the passenger side rear was rubbing on the fender skirt. He made it to the shoulder, examined the situation, and the coach remained on the tire with the engine running. 

He turned the engine off, and a few minutes later, restarted the engine. The coach returned to normal ride height. 

The coach has remained level for over a week so that sort of rules out a leaking air bag. 

The engine builds 120 psi and easily maintains it. 

Pictures of the ride height control valve don't show anything obvious. 

Replication of a hard stop in a parking lot, did not cause a second occurence. 

Mike is coming by tomorrow, and if you have any ideas about what to look at or any kind of diagnostic to run, then please speak up.

Rosen screen shows"screen memory low".  It will not show any screens now.   Had a power outage while away over Christmas.  How do you reset the Rosen system?  Can't find any information in manual or online?

We are still looking for a 2004 or 2005 coach, must have steerable rear axle, how or where when looking do you find the Model # is it somewhere in the serial #

Thanks

We had 5 fogged Hehr vertical windows on our coach, so while passing through the Hudson, FL, area, we made an appointment and stopped at Suncoast to have them removed, disassembled, cleaned, resealed, and put back in.  We also were starting to see slight fogging on the big driver's window, too, so we were scheduled for a total of 6 windows in three days.  An aggressive, but doable schedule, according to them.

They have a good reputation and clearly a ton of business, and they have hookups for you when on site.


However, please use caution if you bring your Newell to Suncoast:  they do not have a lot of experience with the unique mount that our windows have, and they neglected at first to remove the butyl sealant from around the mounting frame before replacing the windows.  This left several windows proud of the slideout skin by a quarter inch, enough to cause trouble with slide clearance as well as not looking very good.

I made them remove and reinstall correctly, but this work and other issues extended our stay by several days.

They also up-charge for Newell windows by about 80%, which is no big surprise, except that they didn't seem too keen to do 80% more labor to get things done correctly.

If you do go there, be prepared to watch them like a hawk!

If I were doing this again, I would probably just order new windows from Hehr and install them.  Suncoast claims their re-built windows are better-sealed than factory new windows, which may be true, but after all the cost and effort, I'm not sure it's worth the slight savings.

Should I leave my compressor on when the coach is in storage? Or should I shut it off and let the seals deflate. I have been using an pancake compressor I have and hooking it to the “shop air in” port but wondering if that is necessary.

Merry Christmas everyone, I have been looking around for a while and I’m in love with Newell sad however I can only aforward a older one, so my question is first Is Panterra dealer reputable? They have a 40’ triple slide 2003 that on picture looks beautiful it’s any any of you familiar with this coach I’m a total newbie I current have a 2018 32’ Newmar Baystar and cant wait to have a diesel pusher bu 40’ feet it’s my max for various reason any information I would really appreciate 

Thanks 
zzotte

to all of my Newell friends, even those I haven't met yet.
I hope all of you had a great year and hope next year will be even better.
