Has anyone ever dry-camped or parked in downtown Chicago? 

It looks like McCormick Place has RV/Bus parking for $31/day.  The video below looks like it's ok and says there is 24 hour security - but I'm not sure about it. 

Here's some good info and video http://www.gonewiththewynns.com/downtown...rv-camping

Was wondering if anyone had any RV park recommendations for the Wisconsin Dells area and the Upper Michigan Peninsula area? 

We normally go to CO for summer but our trip is getting cut in two halves this year - we are going to Chicago this weekend and thought we'd take a round about around Lake MI for a couple of weeks.  We will end up in Petoskey around July 1 and are staying at Hearthside Grove but if anyone has other recommendations around Petoskey to Traverse city, I'd love to hear about them too. 

Our two kids 10 and 7 that will be tagging along - cause we can't leave them home! 

Are there any bridge/road situations up there we need to be aware of (like decents and roads in CO)? 

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for allowing us to be a part of this Community.  We are seriously considering a 2009 Newell Quad Slide with a bath and a 1/2, Coach #1267.  Anyone familiar with this coach?  Anything I should be looking for?  How would I get service records and/or a report on any previous accidents, if any?  

Thanks for any feedback.

Tom, Darlene, Georgia and I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Clint and Fran last night in Deming. Had a great time. It had been too long. Best of wishes to you both.

Does anyone have any experience with replacing a dometic a/c.. are they interchangeable with a Coleman.. is one better than another?

We are excited to begin our Newell adventures. Our 1991 coach 267 seems quite complicated at first glance. We have so much to learn and we understand that is a critical part of our adventure. 
We have been reading the site and appreciate every bit of information posted by these knowledgeable and caring Newell owners.
Lori and I (Bob) look forward to meeting you and reading about your adventures.

For years I thought tire monitoring systems were not really a necessity if one paid close attention to your tires. I always checked the tires at each stop for excessive temps, and once a week or so, I would check all the pressures. Never did I find a tire low on pressure.

However, last year I lost a drive tire while on the road which got me to wondering if a TPMS would have alerted me before all the drama.
My buddy Ron Skeen had tried to convince me of the benefit of a system he uses  EEZRV. So while at Bella Terra, I installed one. Then Tom came in with his tag tire all askew, and I felt even better about the purchase.

Two days ago I notice one of the tags a couple of lbs lower than I remembered based on the readout on the 
TPMS. I aired it back up just for grins and drove all day with no problems. This morning that tire was down 10 lbs. So off to a tire shop to find a nail right at the edge of the tire. Something I did not find acceptable to patch. 

The point is that I doubt I would have noticed the tire being down. It didn't look down this morning on visual. I don't know if it would have been hot at the first stop of the day or not. What I do know is I had early warning to do something about it at a safe and leisurely place instead of on the side of the road. 

I wasn't sure of the benefit before know, but I think I paid for the system today, if nothing else in lack of drama. 

Thanks Ron for nudging me to install the system.

We are in Blairsville GA at a nice park for a week now. I have been having air leveling issues all week, but did not seem major. Now they seem to be getting more severe. I am thinking the drivers side rear has a big leak or relief valve stuck open. I just tried to bring the coach to normal height via running the engine in travel mode with slides still deployed. The drivers side rear corner barely lifted off the wheels while the rest of the coach raised to travel height. I decided to dump all the air. The dump light kept flashing so I hit travel and then shut the engine before it could inflate again. We are leaning to the drivers side a bit, but at least the bode door will operate correctly, it has not many times this week until I releveled. 

At this point I am not sure the coach is drivable because the drivers rear is sitting on the tires. Maybe retracting the slides would change that but I don't think so. I don't have any jacks or blocks to get under the coach. 

Am I hurting the coach sitting with all the air released? 
Do I need to call Newell after hours or can this wait till Monday?
Any suggestions appreciated
Mike

We have Coach 797. Quad Valid slides.
Is it necessary to run engine to bring in slides?
We always retract in travel mode. Seems like shore power or generator would be sufficient to run slide motors. Would like to be less noisy while trying to leave park.

We also were advised to Rev engine up to 1000 rpm....is that also necessary..
