Traveled from NY to Ohio, up on Lake Erie. Left in the rain & cool weather. Fuel very expensive in NY--$4.41. Fuel was $3.89 in Ohio a week ago and now $4.21. Newell continues to run great & mileage is up to 8.32mpg.
Problem with dash gauge. All of a sudden the voltage gauge dropped to ten volts, but the coach did not exhibit the symptoms of low voltage like when I lost my alternator. I checked the alternator output & found it was putting out 13.6 volts. A Newell tech had previously told me to check the alternator voltage at the center connection of the battery isolator. Looks like I'm going to have to redo the gauge ground connection. Does any one know where the gauge ground connection is located?
