Hi Gurus,

I am right in the midst of getting ready to head south for the winter.  Loads of stuff yet to accomplish today and early departure towing car tomorrow.   So maybe the is why I can't seem to think well enough to figure this out.

Asking for your insight into how the following symptoms might relate to a component failure.  I will followup when someone gets it right or I figure it out.  I plan to travel with the problem as I don't think it is dangerous and I have a work around for the one scenario that would get me in trouble ( going to travel mode after fulling raising the coach to get over the tracks).   Below is just a cut and paste from my notes and a picture of my HWH control panel so you will know which buttons I am referring to.

11/11/16
 
I heard an air leak when the coach was in travel mode.  Sounds to be coming from the front HCV.
 
I force lowered the coach well below travel height and put it back in travel mode – brake on, e-brake off, and in D, then back to N, E-brake on, brake off.
 
With engine running there was no leak  and I watched the coach come to ride height, maybe a hit too high, and then the air started to leak at a rate I could hear again.
 
The engine air compressor keeps up with the leak easily, even at idle.
 
Looking at the air system diagram I think it’s not obvious to me right now.
 
trying another test
Raised front to above ride height.
No air leaking
Put in travel mode
Air exhausting/leaking but the front does NOT go down to ride height
Took out of travel mode with AIR button and air leak stopped
Coach sitting too high.
Used down arrow to drop well below ride height.
Put back in travel mode
Came to ride height, and then the air leak started
Settled at about the correct height.
Pressing AIR stops the leak.
 
 
 
This will be a problem after crossing the railroad tracks as I will be too high ( due to manual raise to get over ) and it will not go down properly when I return to travel mode.  I will need to lower manually soon after crossing.  

When I purchased my coach the muffler had been damaged and the exhaust tip was missing, along with some other damage. I ended up purchasing a Walker muffler that was and exact replacement and had to fabricate a new tip to fit the opening in the frame and rear engine cover. After installing the muffler I realized that the tip needed some unusual angles to make it fit the space that was located for it. I first made a model with cardboard and tape and was able to cut it with a utility knife and tap it with masking tape. I then to the cardboard model to a metal fabrication shop and had them make a metal version of my cardboard model. I then took it to a local shop to have it ceramic coated before installing it. The really odd part was that when i dropped it off to have it ceramic coated Newell had just dropped off some tips to be coated so they were coated at the same time. I wish I would have seen the Newell tip before having mine coated and I would made a few changes.
                       

Here is a picture of the Newell tip that I took at the coating shop.    

looking for part # for my 86 classic rear relay thanx

Forerunner of Newell, this Streamline Travel Home is advertised as Serial Number 67 but is NOT a Newell. This would have been built by the Streamline Trailer Company in El Monte, California. L.K. Newell purchased a Streamline Travel Home (although not this particular one) which lead to his purchase of the Streamline Travel Home Company from the Streamline Trailer Company in 1967. L.K. Newell moved production to Miami, Oklahoma. The first motorhomes built by Newell were badged as Streamline before he changed the badging to Newell.

Hello to all
A little over 2 months ago we became part of the Newell family with our purchase of a 2000 Newell. We made a trip to Miami to have it checked out. The Newell personnel and other owners we met while at Newell were very nice people. We are very happy with our new coach. Have made a few minor repairs and changes with more that are sure to come. It is very good to find this web site as I am sure it will be very helpful.

yesterday on the way to town we saw a late 2000 brown newell towing a tan jeep stopped at the shell station RV pumps in Wittmann AZ.  (in between wickenburg and surprise).

didnt have time to stop or would have pulled over and met them.

Can any one share their experience on replacing the screen door on your newels. I have a screen that stacks to the right side on my mid entry, that would be very similar to a phantom screen door in residential. It now has a nylon screen in it but I was wondering if any one has replaced the screen with a heavier metal type screen with success?

Newell now has #1612 a 2017 quad slide, mid entry, p50, show coach available for $1,941,306. All floors are hardwood except the bath and a half that are both travertine tile.

Recently one of my agriculture clients told me about this source for parts that gearheads might find interesting. I just received their catalog.

We have the Cruisair RVAC central system in our coach. Have had continued trouble with the board and have sent it to Flight Systems 4 times. They continue to try and keep it pieced together but it never last and fails again. We are now searching for another board.

The techs at Flight Systems advised that Newell has sent a number of boards in for repair and that it may be possible you have one we could acquire. We need part# 305-2547 for the dual compressor unit.

We had to opportunity to meet many of you at the rally in Ruidoso and hope to see you again soon.The unit in functioning with jumpers by-passing the board, but I need a more permanent solution.

Thanks
