Any ideas?  pic 1222 has 2 pieces of hose from Primus reservoir and chunk of fan that was on battery cover.  The tires shred road debris on right side is what I picked up on highway as I was driving up to S&S.  The guy there told me he thought maybe I had sucked up some road debris to cause failure.  I picked up shreds for illustrative purposes.  1223 is remaining hose on side of shroud. 1224 is empty bracket below remaining hose. 1227 note markings in dust on shroud. 1224a worst of blade damage.  Any thoughts on the forensics?  When I got coach back from El Paso there was a concern mentioned by manager about this very hose.  It was supposed to have been secured.  Any thoughts on fair settlement of costs?

I have 3 separate split A/C systems on my 93 coach. It appears the one with the evaporator near the entry door has failed. The local service tech has determined the existence of a stoppage somewhere between the fill valve just downstream of the condenser and inlet to the compressor - he is guessing it's in the evaporator, but it's just a guess.

My question is: does anyone know the BTU capacity of these units? And has anyone any experience redoing a failed one, and if so, could you provide the details of what was done and what the parts source was?

I developed a buzzing or whirring noise from the engine compartment that tracked engine RPM. At approximately the same time I noticed the engine running about 10 degrees cooler than normal and the fuel mileage dropped about O.5 mpg. 

Normally when the engine runs cool and the mileage drops I suspect the coil that opens the low speed circuit for the fan has died. The default position of the hi lo valve is hi. This is the valve and coil on the side of the brass block at lower left of engine. The hoses from the hyd pump enter the block and the hoses to and fro the fan motor enter the bottom of the block. 

So, the coil failed the first test. A steel washer wouldn't stick to it with the ignition on. It also failed a more scientific test when it ohmed as an open circuit. I replaced the coil. BTW, it is Eaton 300AA0095A MCSCJ012DW0B0010.

That didn't fix the cool engine or the buzz. I put a mechanics stethoscope on everything back there, and the loudest origin was at the hose ends for the fan. I found some obscure posts on hydraulic systems that mentioned that leaking valves can cause noise in hyd systems. I ordered and replaced the valve. It's a Vickers part SV-16-c-0-0.  I didn't take the old one out till I had the new one so I could do a quick swap and minimize fluid loss. The old valve would only open a small stroke. The problem was solved with the new valve. Buzz  is gone, and engine temps are back to normal. 

Hopefully this will help someone in the future. 

I'm approaching Camp Newell.

Are any guru's here?

Someone pm me the wifi password.

Thanks,

Near my storage unit where I store our coach there is a two lane road with a bridge about 12' long over a small creek.  I just noticed a sign that says 11 ton weight limit.  Does anyone know if weight limit signs are per axle limit or total vehicle weight limit?  Or is it neither and a weight limit that the bridge "sees" such as both rear axles on bridge at the same time but not front axle as it would be off the bridge by the time the rear axles cross?   

A 300' bridge with weight limit sign seems like it would be total vehicle weight limit vs a small bridge that doesn't accompdate all axles.  

I have incidentally driven over the bridge a few times with no issue but now that I've noticed the sign I'm concerned a little.  

Anyone ever had their coach towed. Waiting on tow truck now on side of road. Haggling with moorons on the phone. 

hi all,

for some reason i cannot find where i put the hwh part number for the air solenoid valves in the six packs.  

can someone refresh me with it?

thanks

Hello, this seems like a great and knowledgeable group, I will appreciate any insights you may have.

I've been dreaming of owning and living full time in a luxury coach probably since I first saw one as a child. I'm seriously considering making that dream a reality by purchasing a Newell. The unit i'm considering is a 1997, coach #453. It looks good in the pictures I've seen, I'm just trying to gather as much information as possible. My biggest concern is that it has some water damage on the inside trim pieces of the slide out. The seller claims that the previous owner took it back to Newell to have the slide seals repaired, I guess there would be records of such things. I'm wondering how reliable the slide out systems are on units of this generation?

What are the things I should be looking out for as potential problems? I'm very technical, and familiar with heavy-duty diesel systems.

This is just a start I guess, I'll definitely have more specific questions at some point, just testing the waters.

Thanks.
