This has the potential to benefit Newell owners.  Biggest downside to many will be the appearance since it may not fit under the high hats and front/tag hub covers.

About three weeks ago, I had just dumped the waste tank.  When I closed the valve, the "open" indicator stayed lit.  I talked to a tech at the factory who said there is a way that could happen.  The valve seemed to continue to open and close properly even with the "open" indicator lit all the time.  We lived with this condition for the past three weeks.

A couple of days ago, I dumped the tank, closed the valve, just like normal.  That evening we both took showers before going to bed.  The waste tank level was at least at 25% to 30%.  The next morning, the tank level read ZERO.   Upon investigation, when the valve is closed, I can still see a slight flow in the clear plastic piece that is part of the valve assembly that fits into the sewer drain.  In other words, THE VALVE IS LEAKING EVEN WHEN IT SUPPOSEDLY HAS BEEN CLOSED.  We've tried filling the tank to 75% multiple times, then draining.  Once I closed and then opened the valve again 3 OR 4 TIMES during the dumping process.  If there is something stuck in the valve that is keeping it from closing all the way, I've tried everything I can think of to break it loose.  It now makes me wonder if the "open" indicator is actually correct.

I don't even know where the dump valve is located on my coach but plan to call one of the service techs at Newell tomorrow to see what they say.  We actually live in Oklahoma 210 miles from the factory, however, we are in Las Vegas and still not planning to return for a few weeks.  Would like to find a way to resolve this.

Any similar experiences or ideas from the Guru's?

The other day Richard and I were asked to help the owner of SOB drain his air tanks. He didn't know where to go or how to do it. Lo and behold the drain ports on his tanks were plumbed with 1/4" black plastic lines to valves at accessible places. The rear tank quarter turn valve was located near the hitch receiver and the front two tanks' valves were located behind the front slide out fascia of the generator. As soon as I get home and have decent weather I'm going to plumb mine this way, no more crawling under the coach or dealing with leaky drain valves.

Good morning everyone,
My name is Ted Provenza, my wife's name is Margaretann. We live in Finksburg, MD and would like to thank you for allowing us to join your group. 
In 2000, we ordered a new coach from Winnebago, a 2001 Itasca Horizon 36CD and took delivery in April of 2001. We had just adopted our second daughter at her age of 4 from Almaty, Kazakhstan and wanted to provide an environment for us to bond as a family. Our eldest daughter was 8 at the time and had been praying for a "baby" sister for several years; "God bless for a baby sister with a tan body, dark hair, named Emily,...and I hope her birthday is October 19th, and oh, I hope she is 4 years old."  Yes folks, no kidding, she wanted her new sister to have the same birthday. So after 6 months of paperwork and flying to Almaty we returned in November of 2000 just in time for Thanksgiving. Madina knew no English and we only knew only 7 words of Kazhak/Russian: Boyna-hurt, gravashivilah-beautiful, goosnah-good taste, nay goosnah-not a good taste, Spaceebah-thank you, kahshi-say, wadishkey-water...pardon the phonetic spellings.
So on a cold rainy day in February of 2001 we went to an RV show and watched our 2 daughters interact inside a pop up camper having a tea party with the plastic tea cups, plates, grapes and other stuff dealers use to stage their campers. Margaretann and I just marveled at how they had learned to communicate and thought, "Hey, this would be a great way for the girls to bond and see the USA.  Danielle finally got to be the big sister she had dreamed of being for over 2 years. We put 38,000 miles on "Myelles", the name we gave to our new RV. Elles is French for girls and I was the only male, yes, even our Bichon was a girl ergo, "My Girls". We only had one minor issue the entire time. The owner of the dealership, Charlie's Campers, was a friend and had only sold 2 of these Diesel Pushers in his entire time of being in business, however he made himself available to us 24/7.
In 2007, we had moved since we had outgrown our previous home and our Estate Planning Practice was growing by leaps and bounds which left us with little time to travel, in addition, the girls had gotten to the point of not wanting to go "camping" anymore. So we sold Myelles and have been without an RV since that time. Needless to say, a lot has changed since then. Not only the technology available such as GPS, heated floors and quieter environment, but our daughters have both moved out and are on their own. They both have Reactive Attachment Disorders, RAD, which we were never told about during the adoption process. Sadly, they want nothing more to do with either my wife nor myself. Tough pill to swallow, needless to say we are heart broken. I am fighting tears as I write. 
So here we are looking for something for us to do and after much thought and discussion, decided to buy an RV. Well, as you know, there are RV's and then there are Coaches. Wow! The amenities are wonderful. No more malfunctioning yet "state of the art" GPS units that must sit on the front dash, constant resetting of circuit breakers due to the girls ironing plastic tubes to melt the plastic beads to make coasters, microwaving cookie dough while running the A/C; banging my head on the edge of the slide out in the dark while "hooking up", having our jacks sink into the ground and getting stuck in the pouring down rain, doors rattling while driving down the open road, and the list could go on. 
After 2 months of searching, we found 2 units, a 2009 Newell-Coach 1274, and a 2014 Tiffin 45LP. Yes, two completely dichotomous sides of the  spectrum. Low and behold, both units are in Dallas/Ft Worth, TX at ONE dealership, however we live in Finksburg, MD. Which brings me to ask if anyone is close by that could swing by and take a look at these units, kick the tires, and get back to us with the low down before we take a 4 day trip, by air, to take a look ourselves. Any input would be greatly appreciated. The dealer does not know who I am at this point as we have asked someone with many years experience in the RV industry to shop on our behalf. We almost got involved in a "straw purchase" through a dealer who refused to run the transaction through his dealership which was averted with counsel from our new found broker/friend.
Thank you for your time in reading this dissertation as well as any help or advice you can provide. 
Sincerely, 
Ted Provenza

Hi, I am a new owner of a 1998 Newell. I am not familiar with Aquahot systems. When I put the aquahot in the diesel position, I hear it start the red light comes on, but after 15 minutes or so the light goes out. If I don't do anything else the temp will gradually go down and last night i noticed it had decreased to 138. I turned on the electric switch and it works just fine and stays within the parameters it is supposed to. Thanks for your help

This valve is located in the right front basement compartment (R-1).  This valve protects your air system from too high of air pressure.  Not sure what coach years this covers.  It is a Norgren valve.  Part #V07-100-NNLA.  Cost was $39.58 plus shipping & handling.

On my 88 model I have a set of lights 2 on each side. They are mounted on the compartment but for the life of me I can't figure out how to turn them on I have looked all over the dash for a switch. I can't seem to find anything that will work them. Would love some help so I can quit pulling my hair out. Thanks
