    I have extremely frustrated that other drivers will not let me over when I need to
Change lanes. I have often thought that they may not see my amber signalsFlashing on the car. They are hard to see in the bright sunlight. So........I went into a chrome shop and found these amber led turn signals which I mounted to the roof rack. At least now I will know that they saw the signal and intentionally did not let me over. I will feel better About the names I call them

Gurus,

As I tend to my roof, I came across this conundrum.  If you follow the roof metal over to the side — where it meets the vertical panel on the side of the coach, you will find a drip-edge.  I have included picture.  Smart users have recommended Dicor as the correct sealant for the roof, but I am wondering about this ... it seems as if there is a good place for water to get behind the panels.

I don’t want to make a mess of the seam if sealing is not needed.  

So, do I mask and seal?  Leave alone?  Or Other?

Thoughts?

Gurus,

I am on a hunt for water leaks on my roof.  I have to admit that I have neglected my roof but that is about to change.

I am tempted to just remove all these warts and then see what does not work.  But cooler heads recommend that I identify them before removing.

So...Can you identify these things?  And do you have a recommended procedure for patching the holes that will be left behind? 

 (There is an odd shaped little black device on the passenger side that I would think would be an XM antenna, but there is another for-sure XM antenna farther back.  

Thanks,
Bill

Spent the night at the Veranda Inn RV park which is behind the Veranda Inn on the east side of Nocona on Hwy 82.  
Nice cement pads with full hookups 50amp pull-throughs.  The sites are just long enough for a 45' + toad.  No need to unhook.
Very quiet.  Has a nice locked bathhouse with pay laundry.

I've got a 1979 35footer. I need Front air-springs
Talked to Truck springs in Michigan and Firestone.
I need only 3 bags (bought a spare a while back). Firestone will only manufacture 8 at a time.
Does anyone have spares or want to go in with me on buying the 8.
Firestone Part # W01-358-9398.
Hopefully yours,
Tom

Other suggestions appreciated...

Does anyone know where Newell sources laminate? I was going to see if I can get some laminate from them directly but skipping the middleman would be an appealing option as well, if possible.

Thanks!

In their "Look Book", Newell showed a couple of coaches with powdercoated wheels. Is this the new look for the race circuit?

My dash fan switch worked one day, then it quit for a few days; then it started working again for a few more days, and now it hasn't worked for a couple weeks. I'm thinking it might be the relay or the motor???  

My question is, how does one access said motor and relay?  Please see pics attached for my dash configuration. 

Thanks in advance all. ?

hi all,

i bought a case of these things many years ago for my 90 newell.  they are brand new.  i have 40 of them.  i am cleaning up my newell parts and saw i had these sitting in a box i had not looked at in years.  

the pictures show the length and they have the ends on them as well.  they are 17" long fully extended.  they fit my 90 perfectly.  they are 365newtons force, which translates to 82 pounds.  my 90 had 75 pound struts on it originally.  since every newell seems to be a little different i dont know what years they fit.  you would have to measure your struts to know if these would work.  

i will sell them for 7 bucks a piece plus actual shipping.  since they are long, the cheapest way i saw to ship them was via USPS flat rate box at around 19 bucks and that would fit all 40 of them if anyone wanted all of them.  i live in the country so it is an hour or more driving time round trip to anywhere but the post office.  so i would like to ship usps.  

tom
