After talking to Tom I have joined this great forum. So much of the Newell is similar to my 2004 Monaco Signature. Not too many forums can talk the Detroit Series 60. The leveling system and the Aqua Hot are the same also. I have retired from Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems in Marietta Georgia where I was a engineer on the F/A-22a Raptor fighter. Before working at Lockheed I was in Naval Aviation for 26 years. Recently moved (back) to Freeport, Maine, about 3.5 miles from the L L Bean main store.

    As I continue to hunt for air leaks, I ran across this today. I have air leaking out the white, what appears to be an air hose fitting.
1. What is it
2. Is there supposed to be an air hose attached, and if so, where would it run to.
Any help, or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
John

Tom, your 2002 probably has the same headlights as my 2001. When you replaced your headlights, did you save the old bulbs? My curb side high beam is out, and fuse is OK. If you did not save them, perhaps you kept a record of what make and model they are.

hi all,

at my house i put a 55" tv on a wall in our bedroom that does not have a coax connection. i had run a coax over the door frame to it, but it didnt exactly look great.

ron skeen was asking me about wireless hdmi units and he bought one from actiontek.

i went cheaper and bought the monoprice one. it was 170 bucks counting overnite delivery. i ordered it friday afternoon and got it this morning about 930.

i hooked it up and now no coax cables laying around. it works flawlessy and i should have done it before now. will see how it does long term, but for now it is great. here is the link to it

http://www.monoprice.com/products/produc...1&format=2

in my bedroom it is only going about 8 feet, so not very far. it is behind the dresser on one wall and the other dresser with the tv on it and both wireless units are on the floor.

I replaced the dryer and check valve in the small generator in the front passenger compartment. When I did this, I noticed that the generator sat on a rubber vibration dampener, but was NOT bolted thru to the metal plate that supports it. For those with older coaches, is it supposed to be bolted down, I would think so for safety's sake.

I've gradually been repairing air leaks on my 91, making fair progress. The rear stays up fine, but now the coach has a tendency to get low in the front, lower on the left then the right. I'm assuming the down solenoid valve might be leaking, but am also concerned that the front supply air tank drain valve might be sticking. Has anyone replaced a air tank drain valve, and if so did you use a spring type, or a petcock?

Thanks for any advice
John

Ever since I have had the coach 6yrs now, There has been a rattle in the area of the right front tire. I have had it looked at extensively at a place in Mesa AZ about 5 yrs ago and they could not find the problem.
The slightest bump results in a racket from that area.
We even pulled off the shock and went for a ride and it was still there.
All the obvious things have been checked, loose items in the area. It sounds like a bad shock sounds on a car but it is not.
The reason for this thread now is that it sounds like it may be getting worse. Anyone out there experience anything similar? Sounds like a bunch of hammers being used at once when it happens. Will probably have it rechecked here in NH in the fall before we head out.

Maybe I'm being a bit over cautious, but I've let the magic white smoke out of auto electrical before. I posted a couple of pics of what I think are the spare wire bundles that Newell has running from front to back. Any chance someone can take a look at the two pics in my gallery under electrical wires and see if I have the right bundles?

Thanks
john

We'll be leaving the coach for a month at a campground while we fly home.
I'll be plugged into 50 amp so will leave the aquahot on electric and heaters set on about 50.
What is the best way to leave the suspension? Level then turn off, or leave autolevel on?
I guess it'll be ok with the 110v compressor running while we're gone. My only concern is if I spring a leak while gone then the 110v compressor may run continually.
Should I leave the 12 volt compressor running also for the slides?
Thanks.
