I have that granite tile in our coach. It is black, with almost iridescent blue or white flecks embedded in it.

Anyhoo, I had to buy an entire box of 12 by 12 squares to get a couple of pieces.

If you ever need a piece or two, let me know.

Got everything lined up to repower the dog house. Found a donor bus with a Cummins ISM and Allison 6 speed tranny. Going to meet Keith Frerichs (Rellick) where it's located in a couple of weeks and we'll drive back to Boise together. He's going to stick around and get everything transferred off the donor and get the dog house back on the road again. Pictures upcoming.   Big Grin

Hello everyone! You may recall that I was looking for help to inspect coach 511 in Dallas. I did that today, and the coach is pretty awesome. I'm now looking for a mechanic to inspect 483 in Des Moines, Iowa, owned by Duane and Rhonda. I think I will then decide between the two. Can anyone recommend a mechanic in Des Moines? As always, thanks for your help.

I wanted to post this in case it could help someone.
While we were at the River we started to have Electrical issues. I would leave the A/C on when we left and when we returned there was no power?
Here is what Newell installed in our '82 (this is before I started work)
   

I then made a Schematic (I'll post that as soon as I can). But the Shore Power comes in from the right to the Top Relay and the Generator comes in from the right to the Bottom Relay.
The Relays are wired so that both can not be energized at the same time by Normally Closed Contacts so that when say the Shore Power Relay is Energized the Switch is Held Open on it so that the Generator Relay cannot be Energized, here is a pic of the Relay showing the Auxiliary Normally Closed Contact.
   

After I opened the Relay
   
I could see the problem, the Center Contacts had overheated from 33+ years of service and were actually lower than the others, pic is a little out of focus but if you look close you can see the problem with the center contacts.
   

Luckily for me I bought a spare years ago and was able to replace the Relay with a new one from my spares, I'll post the numbers right after I buy another spare.

Was traveling from Tulsa to Altus and pulled up beside a beautiful black and red paint job on a newer model Newell. Gave them a thumbs up as they exited toward Texas... Spent the last day de-winterizing and fixing a couple of leaks in the water bay. The hot supply split om the hot supply to my exterior faucet and the old copper just gave way... Replaced with a compression joint and faucet adapter. I'm looking for a generator end for the old Kohler Yanmar and not having much luck. Shorting everything out and might have to put a new one in. Spoke with Bestgenman (Gordon) and he has been very helpful...This is a great group of folks here and I am so lucky to have you all as friends!

Missing the family but am glad to be back in the Newell!

1999 Newell #510
Our entry door step hits the ground sometimes after leveling the coach.
I assume its because the coach lets all corners down to the level of the lowest corner when leveling but this results in the step sometimes hitting the ground when we are parked. It happens whenever the campsite isn't really close to being level.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Any suggestions for adjustment of the coach or the step? I don't think I can raise the coach after it's been leveled with the HWH system?
Any way to keep the step in the UP position with the door open (since the coach is already close to the ground)?
Has anybody changed out their step for the drawer style step the new coaches use?
Thanks!
