There is a small door/flap about mid coach on drivers side about 6 feet off the ground what is it pleas

yesterday, we moved out of our condo. After the movers got everything into storage. I was supposed to go get the coach and drive to a local RV park. A somewhat funny thing went wrong... when pushing the air brake handle to release it. I pushed it out of the dash mount. Since I was in a hurry, I put a zip tie around the base, so I could pull with 1 hand and push the brake off with the other. I made it to the RV park (20 miles took 1.5 hours due to tourist traffic).

I remember reading about someone having a similar incident recently but could not find the thread in my searches.

How does the yellow brake handle come off? Any tips on securing the mount back into the dash?

Thanks
Mike

I saw a 90s Newell white with I think light blue stripe on interstate 90 going east in western Ohio . we were going west in our classic around 2:00 Saturday 7/29

$7500 start with a reserve or buy it now @ $60k

Well we left this evening about 7p. I thought wed go til 9 or 10 and sleep. Before we left as part of my travel prep I aired up ALL tires. Just as we approached Lima , Ohio I suffered tread seperation on a trailer tire. They all looked good and was at the recommended 65 psi. I pulled off RT 30 onto a side road and put the spare on. Now I'm really spooked! I Had bought all tires at one time, including the spare. I think I'll purchase new tires on the trailer tomorrow before we head to myrtle beach.

On the way home from Springfield Mo to Joplin Mo I was passed by a late model Newell with OK plates, I tried to keep up but couldn't do it. Ha

It's about 93 and 90% humidity here in KY and I've spent most of the day under 385 (yes i used jack stands). 
Yesterday i changed oil and filters, today rebuilt the exhaust system, hose band clamps were holding the muffler up!
Tomorrow I hope to replace the wire that's holding Gen exhaust pipe up. I'm not a real big guy, and I have a tough time getting under this coach. With jacks
lifting it, I can just slide under on a creeper. If Tom is as big as he claims, (maybe we'll meet some day)I don't know how he gets under his coach!

After 2 days hitting my head, I'm thinking I need a Newell house with a pit, and just walk around under the beast

I'm wet with sweat but having a good time

hi all,

for several years, the internal fans on my prosine 3000 have not worked.  then it overheats and you get alarms at the control panel.  it started 2 summers ago.  being the redneck engineer that i am, i put a 10 dollar walmart desk fan in front of it and it ran continuously for over a year.  then it failed and i put another exact fan there.  it has ran for over a year nonstop now as well.  but....if there is a large load on the charger, it still overheats.  

xantrex prosine was an innovation at the time that didnt use the large torroidal transformers.  it was a solid state inverter.  it weighed almost half of the current ones.  it apparently was also outsourced and is considered and has been considered non-repairable and they will not work on them.  also, they will not release schematics or anything about them.  

i found someone online had taken a picture of the guts and i was able to zoom in and get the model number of the 3 whisper fans that are inside.  i bought them a long time ago and decided i would see if i could fix it.  

it is simple.  if the dc voltage to the fans is there, then just replacing the fans should be good.  if not, it will likely be a replacement with a new more modern one.  but they dont fit is the same spot and are larger...ugg

so this morning i took the prosine out.  remember, i am the size of sasquatch and it is mounted on the wall in a bay.  i had to take out the built in vacuum, and figure out how to get it off the wall.  kind of like a jig saw puzzle.  after an hour or so i got it out.  fortunately i am in the shop and have good lighting and a big48" fan i put pointed into the bay.  it is hot and humid today....50% humidity here and 105 is yukky for arizona.  

next is to take it apart and see what i can do.

I'm sharing this episode to inform for future reference only.


I changed the oil and filter in the transmission and put in Transynd. Following that change I gradually experienced soft shifts in the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts. When the shift occurred I needed to back off the throttle for the shift to fully engage and stop what I believed was clutch slipping. The frequency of these shifts gradually increased to the point that almost all of these shifts were this way. Then, on the way home from visiting my son in Memphis I noticed the transmission temp rising. When it got to 250 I stopped and let it cool. When driving again, the temp rose again so I left the coach at a shop and took the car home to deal with an urgent family issu.

The tech scanned the control unit and found nothing. He checked what he could externally and found nothing. Since the problem started with the fluid and filter change I asked him to install a new filter. When I picked up the coach and drove home everything worked as it should, something about the filter was restricting flow. Whether this was a filter problem or the catching of contaminants released by better cleaning action of the new oil I do not know. Based on the increasing degree of problems over time I suspect the latter. 

There are two grades of filter available, standard paper fiber and glass filament, both filter to the same degree, gut the glass one is less restrictive of flow.
