I was reviewing the drawings from newell for my coach, i noticed a note that said "telescoping ladder"  however I dont see where it is supposed to be stored. I normally just lay it down on the joey tray. Does anyone have the original location for theirs?

So I have been getting a louder whine to my power steering/hydraulic pump. I know looking at the pump itself it is definitely leaking. After looking around at the pump I found the tag on the bottom of the pump and its a Vickers V20 pump. I will post some photos of the label. 
So I have been looking at this system and it seems that the filter is old, and it still says Vickers on it. 

The filter is Vickers #V0211B1R03, which I crossed over to and have ordered a Wix 51756. 

My plan is to pull the pump off, take it apart, inspect it and if the hard parts are in good shape I will put new seals in it. I will attach the Vickers pump info sheet I found when trying to identify the pump and its seals. 

The seal kit I ordered is for the V20 or V20F pump, it is part #CWH V20SK. 

So I have done quite a bit of searching and I have found that most are using synthetic ATF for the power steering/hydraulic system. r 

My question is, does anyone have an approximate capacity of the system? 
I would like to go ahead and get some fluid here to change the fluid. It seems this system has been neglected. 

I think I am also going to follow Richards lead and change the overhung unit to grease at some point, I can see its weeping some.

I have a 2006 Newell Model 450 that the Latch for the rear engine compartment has come apart.
Anyone have a source for replacement?
Newell parts says they no longer have any and don't know where to find.

While doing some cleaning I came across my rear engine bay rear electrical panel had some water damage to the 1/2" Formica covered plywood panel at the bottom 6".  The damaged wood was loose and screws were pulling out with just some slight pressure.  I removed stuff from the bottom area to gain access for a cut all the way across the panel.  I was not going to replace the whole panel....too hard.  Screwed a guide into place and made a cut line with my multi tool to remove the damaged plywood.  I used 1/2" Marine Starboard for my repair...it is not affected by any water, works like wood and holds screws very well.....comes in several colors.

When it rains, it pours. Or, when it leaks air ... it blows?

Seems like I have an air issue in the front on top of my leaking solenoid valve in the back. I had convinced myself that the front was dropping as a result of the left rear dropping due to the valve leak back there. But I've now proven that's just not the case.

With no solenoids engaged, the front of the coach stays up. But when I go to travel mode, only the left side drops. The right side stays at a proper travel height.

I propped up the front of the coach and tried poking around with my Whisper, but can't pinpoint anything as it's hard to get very far under the front.

Looking for ideas on what it might be. On front there's only a single HCV, isn't there? So I'm thinking it's not that being that the passenger side stays up.

Also trying to figure out how I can rig the coach to drive it about 5 miles on back roads to a shop in order to be able to get under there.

Being that it only loses air in travel mode - would it be a terrible idea to manually get the height to approximately ride height and then disconnect the travel solenoids? I do not have an override switch on my dash. As soon as I start moving more than a crawl, the HWH automatically goes to travel mode.

Previous owner had capped a larger red air line that I could hear leaking at bottom front driver side right next to the 6-pack. I could see that it apparently had been hooked up to what appeared to be an air horn. When I hooked it back on the horn and tried to air up Coach, it started sounding like a freight train’s horn coming down the tracks. I couldn’t turn it off and the supply air is now staying at 0 psi. ? has anyone found to be in the same predicament? Should I just cap it and be done with it? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I put a brand new Delco Remy alternator in with new belts.   It only shows 12.3v on the Blue Fire.  Any ideas why this would be? Belts seem to be tight I torqued the pulley but to 80ftlbs that it stars on the alternator

My propane tank is a 67 gallon big boy. It is 31 years old with surface rust and my concern is safety. I can't find a replacement online that size or even a smaller one that has the fill ports on the end cap. I'd hate to lose the propane since my coach has two propane furnaces which work great and do not depend on much power to run. Not sure what to do. Last year I turned the gas valve on and it hissed a leak past the stem seal and "popped" itself sealed again.
