Greetings all,
I’ve added ZF documents to my original post about the ZF suspension and Steerable Tag that you may find interesting. 

Enjoy,

http://newellgurus.com/showthread.php?tid=6654

My sensor has been a bit squirrelly this week, so, as part of my waste tank cleaning, I let the tank fill all the way.

This morning, my olfactory alarm notified me that my tank was a bit more than just 100% full!  I opened the "wet" bay and found it was holding true to its name.    On the top of the waste tank, were puddles of waste water.  Da Heck?

So, I drained the tank and performed a hazmat cleanup with some Pine-sol on a rag wire-tied to a pole.  Industrious of me, I know.  ha.

Now the question is...

ARE THOSE TOP FITTINGS SUPPOSED TO BE FULLY SEALED ONTO THE TANK?  This really isn't as dumb of a question as it sounds to me, because I personally think they should.  However, in the world of Newell, sometimes things aren't always as "normal" as one would think.

I have a suspicion that THIS is the source for many of our Newells being "smelly" as they off-gas on hot days.  Rather than venting through the roof, I think the gases are escaping into the under-bays and wafting up through the floor.

THEREFORE, my gut-instinct is to attack those fittings with some really good plumbing sealant.  I have a tech request into Newell to verify with them as well which is also my way of saying, "hey, this isn't good, so you might remember it for the next person."

I trust that more than one of you has addressed this matter and can suggest what you used for sealant.  Gonna be pretty hard to get around those fittings as well; not looking forward to that back-twister.

Thanks,
Steve

Does anyone know the ins and outs of the water separator? I have the SMC AFM30-N02BC-Z water separator. It has a gray plastic 'switch' at edge of the top, and I drain it manually when it gets close to half full. Mine never had a 3/8 hard line on the bottom of the drain. I added one to drain properly, and now its a lot harder to loosen it up.
I did see on a different model that the interior 'sponge' would "lift up" which provided an alternate drain path - does this one work that same?
And finally, does anyone have the instructions for it?

Can anyone help with a pic or diagram of the back of the engine rear starting switch. The switch was loose and spinning when i got coach and wires were broken from switch. I have #751 2005 model. Thank you

We have had a reoccurring problem with the PS salon slide.  After changing the extend and retract solenoids, the slide appeared to work correctly.  It was at the RV shop waiting on the generator install and the slide was in as designed.  I picked up the coach on Thursday to return it to storage and the slide was in correctly.  When I returned on Saturday the slide had crept out 2-3 inches.  I then extended the slide out and retracted it back in.  The slide immediately crept out about 4 inches and stopped.  Could the solenoid have failed this soon or could there be a leak in the slide mechanism somewhere that is not obvious?  I have not seen any fluid on the floor when the slide is extended.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Could a failed capacitor cause the breaker to consistently trip and what would be some cause for such a failure?  I've chasing  a cumulative series of no pump action.  The shaft turns, replaced the pressure switch, and no evidence of air in the system.  Pump is a 3yr old half price replacement from HH.

Has anyone found a source for compression fittings on the door release valves?  It is metric threads, 12 X 1.50 mm with an "O" ring or gasket to an 8 mm plastic line (5/16" would work).  I'm on the road and haven't found any.  I do not want swivel fittings, they can be straight or a 90 degree fitting.  I wouldn't mind finding some street ells that size either.  Compression only please.......

Saw this vintage “The Newell” (1989) tucked amongst many a production coach at the RV One Superstore in Concord NC.
Looked very clean and well kept inside
Thought somebody might like to take note… collectors?

Hi All!
    I have an under couch heat exchanger plenum with a squirrel cage fan and a through shaft motor. (one motor runs both fans) Recently it began misbehaving. After a search through the forums, it appears Tom has the same system, albeit in a bay, so i could get some ideas. I believe I have it down to an electrical isse. Could be a loose crimp, a broken/intermittent wire or something else.

When I have the fan running I can manipulate the wiring and get it to speed up and slow down, likely due to voltage fluctuations.

The wiring is a bit confusing. I am attaching pictures to try and figure it all out.

The weirdest thing is a secondary, piggybacked set of wires going into on of the housings for the squirrel cage fan.

I have a 2 speed switch on the wall adjacent to the couch that allows low/high speed on the fan and it does switch speeds. (Tom let me know that the motor is actually 3 speeds, so you can only choose 2 of them!)

Any ideas what the other wires do? Which colors are which from the newell side? (Green w/red)

Thanks!

Spotted a super sweet vintage Newell today at Amana RV Park. Man it looks good!! So glad to see that its loved and on the road.

There is a dog show here this weekend. Maybe they are showing or just fans. I'll update if I can meet them.

I am here for the Teton Club International Rally (Teton is out of business since 2009, but made the best 5th wheels.)

Regards,

Bob
