The engine bay on this coach has a fine coat of dust and oil.  What is the best way to remove this?
Steam cleaner?  Power Washer set on low at car wash?  Scrub it by hand?... what do you think?  I know some of the dealerships will have them detailed but not sure whom to trust for this... 

Adrian mentioned Fastenal in the Quickee step thread. I recently learned that you can ship items via their trucks. Palleted items delivered to a Fastenal store can be delivered to another Fastenal store via their delivery trucks at a very reasonable price. The down side is that your item gets low priority so it may have to wait for room in a truck. According to their web-site some stores will assist with the palleting. I have no first hand experience with this service but have heard positive comments from others.

Listed as 1 slide, but it appears to have 3 slides.

Upon returning from a week trip the rear (room2) slide would not extend.  It was first thought the locking pins were bound.  This proved to be incorrect.  I called Creslie who connected me with Mark.  His thought was a failed solenoid.  

A search in the slide threads produced the name of Paul, a HWH field technician serving the west.  He suggested the fluid pressure be checked and the possibility of a failed solenoid.  I purchased a 5000 psi filled gauge and a short tail.  Connecting it to the manifold produced a pressure of 3300 psi, well within the 32 to 34 hundred range.  At this point I want to express the caution that should be exercised with high pressure fluids.  A danger of injecting the fluid under the skin exists and usually with less than a desirable outcome, often amputation or serious infection.   Always bleed the pressure off before any fittings are opened.

I purchased an solenoid 2.25" (1.5" are also used on some systems)  and sought to determine which was the culprit.  No drawing existed at Newell but several close and by process of elimination the correct set was found.  I made up a Weatherpack male/female patch with a pilot light which would enable a visual if voltage was present.  No voltage was found on either lock or unlock. (I had a helper operating the extend/retract switch).  

The control boards consist of logic and output (for this discussion) and are separate for ROOM 1 & ROOM 2, the output  boards have LED's.  Yellow for the signal to the relay and red for the fused voltage out of the relay.  Neither were illuminating.  I then removed the board since it would not swing on the hinged standoffs.  There I found the ribbon cable from the logic board pulled loose from the output board.  Plugging it back in and a test produced results!  The slide went out!! 

I watched the LED's as the unlock then extend then lock illuminated.  There are LED's for pressure, pump, seals, and others. I could not find a drawing to match exactly but did find a Marathon drawing with the same numbers as used on this coach.

Hopefully this thread will assist someone else with a non-extending slide.

 

I tried the Over the air (OTA) antenna today and it would not move using the buttons in the cabinet where the DVD player is located.  Since it is over 15 years young I figured there is probably a short somewhere or maybe in the switch.  I will troubleshoot that one.  What OTA antenna do you recommend?  I figured I would just mount a newer OTA antenna on the same mast. 
What stationary (not in-motion) HD satellite antenna system would you recommend for Dish Network HD channels.  I like the Winegard Travlr but not sure if there is another better option out there (the threads here are several years old).

   

I found the manufacturer and part number for the lid closer on my coffee table/ arm rest/cup holder:

Our 1982 Newell with a 6V92 has a Leece-Neville model 3425J Alternator. The Alternator was been rebuilt in 2010 at a cost of $425.00. It required a new Stator, Rotor and Regulator due partially to a previous repair shop loosing some parts.
It is best to have a Leese-Neville Dealer do the rebuild because these are no longer in production. The 6V92 (and possibly the 8V92 uses this Marine Grade Gear Driven Alternator.
I am making this post for future reference.
Replacement Viton Seal from Detroit Diesel #23508977, and get a Flange Gasket #23509123.

Do all Newells have automatic slack adjusters or did the earlier units have to crawl under and manually adjust?

Monday had the generator radiator cooling fan motor replaced at Newell. It was previously replaced by them in May. All covered by their one year parts and labor warranty from Newell.

On Tuesday when I started the generator, the indicator light that tells you the generator is running failed to light up even though the generator was running. Also the 4 lights that indicate power is going to all 4 legs also failed to light up. And the amp meters all showed zero.

I reset all the breakers on the generator. And in the back of the coach.

Another thing is the 110 fan the provides air to the generator compartment was running but the 220 radiator cooling fan that was just replaced was not.
I restarted the generator several times same result. I let it sit for an hour went back out restarted it and everything worked fine.  Called Newell they suspected a bad breaker.

Returned to Newell this morning they replaced the breakers. This afternoon same thing happened except when I restarted the generator everything returned Except a 110 leg. Followed shortly by the other three legs quitting..  Restarted again and all legs have ran great for the last 7 hours.. No issues..

Does anyone have any ideas?
