Hi guys
We're on our maiden voyage since I started the remodel. We are in West Virginia at the moment. The fuel solenoid on the 20k yanmar won't open. I can start it by holding it open and it will stay running. I'm guessing I need a new fuel solenoid. Can somebody help with a part number. I may try to buy one and change it in the rest stop. Thx

Hello-
We just completed the 1200 mile trip back to our home in Jacksonville, FL this past weekend from Michigan, where we became the proud new owners of #535. The previous owners, Serge & Carol, were terrific and the coach was even better than we expected. Our next excursion is already planned... a trip to Daytona International Speedway for a race weekend. I'm surely looking forward to chilling in #535 after getting out of the race car! We hope to meet some other owners and become regular contributors. Thanks All

I'm having a problem with the air level system.
1983 coach.

There is no air to the front in either the manual toggle level setting or travel setting.
The rear works fine in both positions.

I have solenoids in the engine compartment as well as in a forward compartment on the driver side.
Is there one solenoid that sends air to the front? It would seem unusual for 2 or more fail at the same time.

I haven't had any problems or spent any time with the air system yet.

Any ideas for a quick fix?
I'm hoping to leave home for a 9-10 hour trip to MO after work on Friday.

Thanks

Scott

Hey folks: thinking of changing my engine coolant and installing need-release filter. Do those of you with V92 engines have these filters or not? If you do where are the connections made to the engine, I can't figure that out.

Gang,

I have read this thread regarding air compressor problems but have not found my solution Air Compressor Problems

My compressor runs, but does not seem to put air into the system.

Symptoms:

1) Air compressor runs but does not pump up tank.
2) With 120V air compressor "ON" I can completely run out of air overnight.
3) Engine can "pump up" system in a few minutes.
4) The 120V compressor runs for a long time but *does* turn off eventually. (It does not feel hot).
5) If I put my thumb over the outgoing air from the compressor I can feel pressure and hear the pump load up. I let go of thumb and can feel a little air and the pump unloads.
6) If I pull wires from the head pressure relief solenoid with pump running, air is vented from the port. (No air vented with wires attached)

I took the check valve out and blew on one end and then the other. It lets air go in only one direction.

I have included pictures along with a diagram of the connections. Any ideas?

ps. On a side note, is there a problem with using 1/4" and 3/8" tubing? It seems as if the 1/4" would restrict air flow.

Thanks,
bill

    Hey anyone near Toronto ? I bought a truck and was wondering if anyone near there could go give it a looksy?

Hi all.. How would you characterize the power of the 1160 motor when it's running well? I understand it's the predecessor to the CAT 3208NA -- I've heard lots of Wanderlodge owners saying their almost bullet proof but not fast -- as long as you're not in a hurry. Is that more or less the case with a well maintained 1160? Do they have sufficient power to tow a minivan or something like that or is towing not really a good idea with this engine.. Sorry for the stupid questions..

My wife and I do not yet own a Newell nor any of the competition (prevost, wanderlodge,etc) -- but are considering a Newell.. I'll admit that we've been eyeing Wanderlodges for a handful of years now but either didn't have funding or didn't find a model we really liked.

Anyway, after learning that the Newell's tend to get slightly better gas milage over equivalent hardware in a Wanderlodge, and with the fact that the mid 80's I find more appealing than the equivalent aged Wanderlodges, we're now on board here -- trying to get more info on models, features and whatnot.

I gather from the limited reading that some of these older Newells might have less than desirable engines (e.g. Cummins 555) that may have difficult to find parts and perhaps limited shops to work on them if needed.

I'm the kind of guy that likes to tinker and I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I'm not familiar with Diesel engines per-se but can certainly change fluids and the typical maintenance stuff without issue if I can get pointed into the right direction. Our current RV is a class C 24' long Lazy Daze -- I've removed all windows and rebuilt the seals and reinstalled along with some wall repair due to dry-rot and termites.. I'm not against doing this in bigger RVs and gather I shouldn't have as much of these sorts of issues with a Newell due to not having stud walls like the cheaper stick built units such as the one we have now.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be asking some stupid questions so please bear with me..

We are in Santa Fe and the weather is great. Got here Friday and hardy have run the A/C at all. Green house effect maybe a coupe of hours in the afternoon. We are at Trailer Ranch RV Park and Mary and I have had a good visit with Gary and Susie and they are excited about having a house here at the park. They are still getting settled but from the looks of things it want be too long. I am glad to say they plan to keep their beautiful 05 coach and travel as much as they can. Life is good.

Rhonda and I were riding the bike trail out of town and spotted a 2000 to 2004 going south on 191 about 11:30. If you are a guru and see this, we are at Spanish Trails until Oct 7
