i dont use my truck very much.   and once i opened the hood and a rabbit jumped out at me.  i thought it was a rattlesnake so i jumped and yelped.  just a bunny.  
this is what the nice little bunny did.  it likes the insulation on the wires.  now to fix some wiring.  and the vacuum tubing and the tube for my turbo boost.

Hello, 

Thanks for having a swift registration process. Being a former Tulsa resident, I've loved Newells since I discovered them for the first time. The chassis and suspension seems like a race driver's dream rig. The recent unit with saunas and cold plunge is incredible! 

Anyway, I'm attempting to full time in it while launching a motorsport hospitality company and looking for 10-15 year old Newells pre DEF with the X15 15-20k towing capacity for hospitality/tailgates in the <$350k range (~2008-9 range likely).

I was looking at 2016-19 Allegro Busses but this seems like it might be a better overall value move?

       
It looked like 100 busses of all kinds covering several acres. I respected the “Private Property” sign!

We've gotten our compressor to come on while living in the coach about every couple hours but its very noisy and I have to turn it off at night so not to upset the neighbors so I purchased a Jun air and going to plumb it in but the old Thompson compressor is located on the generator and the controls are in the well directly  under passenger seat, it will not fit in either space so it will have to be replumbed to a different bay. The compressor has its own adjustable pressure switch and a small tank which is attached and I would like to stay with the compressor and then plumb back into the tank in the compartment under the passenger seat with the blow off safety valve is located. All the electrical feeding the old pressure switch has been butchered over the years there is a new 120v power which has been installed to make the system function which I am not proud of so its all going away. The 120V switch above the microwave has never worked so there must have been an issue at one time and whomever without knowledge of electrical decided to string a electric cord over the passenger side suspension into that area. There is also a 12v relay in that area which feeds a contactor which is worthless as they have had water from the compressor tank drained on them for years, after reading a few threads I believe this to do with the HWH auto level system which could turn on the compressor when needed. Its going away, I don't want to have some system turning on the compressor while I'm out and about. 
Have any of you done the compressor relocation and if so where do you recommend?

I have replaced my black tank plumbing in favor of a heavier duty dump valves. The original on my coach were Thetford with the non standard 2 hook clamp. At one point there had been a tank leak in the previous owners possession. They had it fixed but it seems the water damage had leaked under the fiberglass bay liner and on top of the steel chassis floor. The water had no where to go so it ate all the metal away. It was very well hidden under the spray foam. I am at a loss in dealing with something I was not expecting. Seems like one step forward and two steps back. I was excited to upgrade the plumbing and added a hose connection to wash out the sewer hose. How I discovered the rotted mess underneath is from the water tank bulging and bending the support that was installed. When I checked the support, it was loose and flexed. This told me the anchoring bolts were not doing their job. I dug the foam around them only to discover the rotted mess of earthy brown decay. I am not going to pull the tanks but instead scab some galvanized 12 gauge plate between the 1.5" square tubes once I clean off the rust. The foam did a good job of keeping the water hidden until it was too late where it then found a path through the protruding bolts. Still wondering how the water got there. All seams are well sealed.

Could there be a hidden 6 or 9 pin OBDI port somewhere up in the dash area?  All I see is the little flat port right under the key.

Anyone ever figured out how to get a Pryrometer to show up in Silverleaf gauges?

In the evening time I dump all the air from the airbags then press the stop button on the HWH air bag control then switch off ignition switch. We turn off the compressor so the neighbors don't have to listen to it during the night then in the morning the coach is passenger side high divers side low. Turn on the ignition switch select level and press passenger side down airbags and Air bleeds out till the coach is level again. I have new six packs rebuild kits from Tom and just curious is this from them leaking by?

Today, when i went to test the diesel side of the Aquahot (I am running on electic in the winter to maintain 55 deg temps, which is working great!) I heard the main motor on the AH spin slowly at first, then speed up to normal. I saw some fuel coming out the bottom near the entry to the combustion chamber. It lit off...bunch of smoke... kept running, put sounded like it was going out and lighting up again. Each time a small puff of white smoke. Obviously, there is unburnt fuel at the bottom of the combustion chamber. The question is, what to do next? Keep running until clear? Remove assembly and clean? Somthing else?

Thanks!
