Been working through the rear of our coach drooping to the left and settling down.  Changed airbags, changed height control valves, crawled around under the coach with soap solution and rebuilt the six packs with Tom's rebuild kits.  Each bit of work had appreciable incremental improvements.  

The coach still settles down over a period of three or four days.....at least it is even as it settles. 

Now to the next item.  Found a small (external) air leak on the rear six pack top check valve (see picture).  Aired the system down and carefully removed the external brass cap (spring loaded) to investigate the possible repair.  The sealing o-ring under the brass cap is not really rubber.   Its a hard nylon type seal around the brass cap and a trapped o-ring on the sring loaded plunger....would be difficult to replace if you had new seals. Spent some time on the HWH web site looking for some idea on the six pack check valve availability.  could not find our six pack parts break down till I back doored the RAP1940 solenoid search and came up with a Newmar HWH Six Pack manifold not quite the same but close in regards to the functionality.  The parts breakdown has the HWH part number for the check valve RAP6553.  I have ordered a pair of check valves from Northwest RV supply for $19.95 per pair.  Not sure of the internal dynamics of the check valve function but sure couldn't hurt to replace them given the age and will do a follow-up.

I’ve read some other post on this but haven’t found one with my same symptoms. 
My diesel will fire and build up to 185 and shutoff. Once temp gets down to 160 it will never kick back on. If you turn the aqua hot button on and off it will start back up and build to shutoff them. When it gets to 160 the control board shows the diesel burner is on. 
So far I’ve replaced the control thermostat and diesel burner control and still having the same issue. Any suggestions on what to look at next? Thanks

I recently purchased a 1968 Consolidated M123A1C tank transporter with the Cummins V903 engine.  You folks seem to have some good information about the type.  Cheers! Mike

So I have been chatting with and helping a Wanderlodge owner in France, yes the country France. He has a 1985 PT Wanderlodge that he has been renovating and I have been helping him get parts so that he can keep it maintained. 
So the other day he contacted me and said that it was funny that I purchased a Newell, because he is also looking at a Newell. Yes a Newell in France. It is a 1991 Newell executive bus, so it does not have a bedroom and not sure if it has a shower. I will post some pictures of both his Wanderlodge and the Newell that he is looking to purchase.

Does anyone know the part number for the rubberized handle that is mounted on the right hand door jamb as you step into coach?

EDIT; Here is a picture of my handle.  I have looked in the usual places and cannot find one even close to being able to work.  I ordered a Rec Pro handle and the base plate is too wide to fit in the door jamb area.  So, any ideas?

I rebuilt both "six packs" with Tom's kits.  Over the years since owning the coach had the front six pack acting weird on different occasions.  Nothing that was consistent just intermittently wonky.   Verifying that I did not hook something up wrong I came across I had my wife operate the HWH control panel will checking to see if the solenoids were activating.  Referring to the drawing (attached) of the six pack that I have annotated.  The driver"s raise/lower solenoid never operated in the conditions I outlined in my notes. 

Thinking this might be a normal condition I asked another owner and he assured me that it was not.  Did some troubleshooting by checking fuses in the HWH control box and connections inside the box.  Further digging, found the "Driver's" side raise solenoid +12vdc pin pushed back in the Delphi Weather Pack connector.  I had not disturbed the connectors when rebuilding the six pack (also had not disturbed all the other connectors as well). Looks like the original solenoid and it's been that way for a long time.  Also, found two other weather pack connectors not seated very well.  Verified the solenoid worked by applying 12v to the solenoid.  Verified 12v coming out of the HWH computer.  Confirmed operational once all hooked back up.....that one is good.  Drivers side lower Solenoid.  Checked all fuses and connections then verified the solenoid worked by applying 12v to the solenoid....that worked properly.  Checked for 12v coming out of the computer and that was good to go.  applied 12v to the solenoid and that was good as well.  Cleaned connector and verified operation....so that is now working.  This was a good exercise on understanding how the system is supposed to work.....I have been having weird things happening, that did not make sense, over the last five years, that are explainable now. 

This was a good exercise on HWH leveling system operation that was fun to figure out.
