xantrex offers a remote monitoring system and a remote gen start. Replacing my inverter next week. What is everyone's opinions on those?

The NewellGurus site offers two alternatives to communicate with other members privately. First, you can use the private message system (PM) and communications remain between you and the person you are communicating with only but the communications do reside on this site. The PM system is fast and easy for limited communications while remaining private or allowing you to provide your email contact information to a specific individual in private. If you want to establish a lengthy communication chain and exchange attachment (documents or photos) moving the conversation to private emails typically works best.

Secondly, you can use the email link. You will not see the persons email address when you use this link and they will not see your email address as the message will come from newellgurus.com. PLEASE do not click on reply to these emails as your response will not go to the individual who sent you the email but to the NewellGurus administrators. If you wish for the individual to respond to you by email, PLEASE include you email address in your message so you can start a conversation off the NewellGurus site. Otherwise, please use the PM system.

Both of these systems are designed to protect the email information for our members. This allows each member to provide their email only to those they wish to have it. Publishing an email address, phone number or other personal information on the open portion of any website can result in that information being harvested by spammers and circulated or sold on the dark web. Unfortunate but that is the reality these days.

I understand Newell add Easisteer and Stabilride to the coaches in 2013 or so, I understand how booth systems work and i see Newell can ad EasiSteer to older coaches for around $6500.00. As anyone done this or have driven a coach with and without this system that can tell me how big of a difference it makes? I think Newmar calls in Comfort steer. How about the Stabilride system, is this also an upgrade you can add? Thanks for any comments

My winegard direct tv Dish (slimeline) is apparently not sending signal to the Direct tv receivers.  

I called Direct TV and Newell and after many tests, both think it's the Dish, possibly the transponders.  Unfortunately Direct TV will not work on the winegard dish and all the RV shops around me can't get me in for a few weeks.  we're getting ready to leave for a month long RV trip and I'd like to get it fixed before we leave. 

I climbed up on roof just to check connections, wire condition, etc and all looks good.  

If anyone knows anything about what it might be and how to fix, I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks

As we all know, things happen. We were getting ready to leave Bella Terra yesterday when ,low and behold, the tow vehicles lights weren't working. Here comes Steve Bare to my rescue. After extensive troubling shooting I had a bad relay and converter box for the tow lights. Steve helped and advised even though it was raining and miserable. We, he, got it figured out and this morning got the new parts and are road ready. Guru Steve saved the day. Thank you Steve.

We have Coach 797 with a front entry. Has anyone tried to install a door screen. Would love suggestions and pix. Magnetic? Velcro? Something less tacky?

Has anyone installed a Xantrex auto Gen start in your Newell?  Without a wiring diagram for our coach this maybe a challenge.  If anyone has would appreciate any advice since we don't have a diagram!

Thanks

I was driving through Monroe Louisiana and a semi was passing me on the left and I heard a loud bang.  so did the semi driver.  he quickly slowed down and pulled behind me.  but he didn't stop.  so I thought I must be me so I pulled over at a small truck stop in a mile or two.  checked all the tires and saw nothing wrong. 

so...drove 365 miles to bella terra in foley Alabama.  the last while I noticed a bumpiness, but I attributed it to the bump back road we were on. 

got set up at the rv park and Richard asked me if I knew that my drivers side tag tire had something horribly wrong with it. 

looked at it and there were large bumps in waves all the way around the tire.  like 1/2 to 1" high. 

the belt had separated and we were blessed and looked after or we would have had a blow out and destroyed everything. 

used Michelin advantage and coachnet and got a new tire right there in the park. 

tire did not lose air so there would have been no indication until it blew...

At the non rally, Ron Skeen asked me to look at the headlights on his coach. The issue was that they did not provide enough light for night driving. We found with the engine running that the voltage at the left light was 11.4 and the voltage at the right light was 12.4. Although Newell did use relays for the headlights, the extended run of wire from the passenger kick panel to the lights coupled with inadequate wire gauge resulted in the low voltage.  Julius @"Pardue101"  helped me install relays at the headlights to see if we could improve the voltage. We used 10 guage wiring for both the hot and ground sides. We pulled the left side power from the large 12V terminal in the bay below the driver, and we pulled power from the kick panel hot stud for the right side. We ran new grounds directly to ground studs in the area close to the lights. The voltage increase was very good. We measured 13.8 at the lights with the engine running. So if the graph is anywhere close to accurate, the output of the light was around 620 lumens at 11.4 volts and 1200 at 13.8 volts. On paper we almost doubled the output of the light with the installation of the relays. I am going to leave it to @"ron skeen" to comment on his real world experience of driving at night. 

I know this subject has been posted in the past, but we do have a number of new members, AND most importantly the newer Newells already use headlight relays so it would be easy to assume that adding more relays would not be a worthwhile effort.
