  Front ac unit

Well plans changed and instead of spending the winter in Vermont this year we decided to go back to our winter spot near Yuma az on BLM land. My front ac unit has decided to stop blowing cold air, gets down to about 70. It is around 100 outside, 90 inside.
The other ac units are blowing in the 50's. The front was working fine but on start up I was watching the amp gauge and it pegged out max then settled down this ac is also on the same leg as the back ac. I have been having problems with the blower motor and it finally went on the front unit so I pulled the mid ac blower unit and put it in the front because it seems to provide more cold air and I need the front cooler than what the mid ac can do. The Mid ac blower motor is a new replacement from newell which says they can no longer get replacements. So now not being able to get cold air from the front ac unit i moved the good blower motor back to the mid ac and between the back ac unit and the mid unit the coach is tolerable but the front is still very hot. Mind you we are off grid so we run the gene for about 5 hrs in the later part of the day/night. 
The ac units were checked out and recharged last year by Newell and the front ac unit was working very strong before it stopped producing cold air. 

Anyone know of a supplier for the blower motors?

I filled the tank up with a gallon of 50/50 antifreeze and the guage is still showing 'LO'.  
Help!  Do I need to 'reset' it somehow???  Cold showers in the morning I guess :-(

  Propane Gas Smell

Guys once this summer we pulled over because we thought we smelled propane. I used a propane detector and could not find anything. The smell ceased. I have had a gas detector alarm in the coach the last couple of years and it's never gone off. Which brings me to today. 

The coach was winterized a week ago. I pulled it out of the barn today and drive it to my house to empty it of things for the winter. As I worked in some of the bays I kept getting a slight smell of propane. I checked and the main valve was closed. It has been closed for several weeks. We could smell it inside the coach a little as well. The tank is about half full. 

Any ideas of how it could be creating a smell if it's shut off?  I read online there is a pressure release valve. However, it seems that this only activates if the tank is overfilled. My tank is only half full so I assume it should not be venting right???

I think I will take it to the RV place here in town and have them hunt this smell down. Maybe do a pressure check to see if there is a leak. Any other ideas or suggestions guys?  A gas leak scares the heck out of me.

Hi,
My name is Richard Watts and married to Marla Shelton-Watts.
Am retired with a horse farm in Ocala, FL.
Recently purchased a 2002 Newell. Coach #619.  First coach ever.
We are complete novices.
This site has already been so helpful.  Thank you.  Love having a forum admin with the same year coach!!!
We've already put on 4000 miles and seem to come home with a list of "to dos" each trip.
Slowly knocking them off.
Will need to solve an annoying compressor noise and leak issue and I think the drive axle airbags.
Would love to understand when the 12v compressor is meant to operate vs the 110v (and when the engine compressor is working).
I think I have the prosine inverter figured out.  That may be short lived.
Will post questions and progress and pix as we learn.
When I figure out how to change avatar, I'll post pix of coach.
Richard

  Air leveling shaky

We have the HWH air leveling system and I notice that once I have the coach set, level and the ignition key is off there is a lot of 'sway' in the coach when others are walking around.  Is there a way to stiffen up the air bags or deflate them all the way so there is less sway?  I miss the hydraulic levelers on our old coach... maybe I should get a couple of jack stands...

  Fix for Inverter/Charger

For your Info, if your inverter stops taking the 12 volts and making 120 volts. you might need to check the 300 amp. fuse that's near the inverter/charger. My charger was still working, but the inverter wouldn't invert. IN order to check the fuse you need to remove the two nuts that hold it, and remove the fuse. Now you can test for continuity. If you leave it hooked up it can give you a false reading, as it may have bleed back from both sides. Mine was blown when I had the batteries replaced. I found the only one in Tulsa for about $45. I hope this helps someone, it took me a couple of days to figure it all out.
