Gurus,
Ran across this Ebay posting and thought it might be of some interest .....https://www.ebay.com/itm/265684393706?hash=item3ddc061eea:g:wxMAAOSwMtxieFx0&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA0KZsYZlWL8s8Q2lnCVeO9AM1p6TUwtiX2VgLNVjkcar5C%2Bf7JxgcwDVIrlEc6hPVZBe6pz9GjE%2F4DrmpN5HOfuqQFoJsF0ltsWbm9CbUq4Hl1R%2F9MiegQu6wEgVEoq4dSIBZ8q1rRgUhLy18ChWQIyny52uCSzt%2Bf%2FN6hEmX4BkzOWu3usb1N76dnGML6bicyTORKO6vB%2BAxuRTxg%2BwHZmIcqCR06Y6lZ6LwGq5ZKlBa2vdJ79mg%2F6U%2FtznM3octobZSAa9x8QlZKuUHst6QEFE%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMrviI0Mdg

Just spotted a Newell in spot 50 at the Elkhorn Ridge Resort. Pretty rig. Its towing a toy trailer so maybe they're here for bike week. This is the only Newell in the park. There are a lot of Prevosts in the park, however. One of the Prevosts is Dean Loucks' newly painted rig with matching trailer. Really beautiful. There's another Teton 5th wheel here besides mine. Pretty rare to see them too. We leave here on Thursday. We have an all day tour planned tomorrow, Maybe we'll get a chance to meet some of these people.
Bob

Got a leak at the fitting below.  Would NAPA or someplace like that generally have such a fitting?

Any comments appreciated.

We have 1429 and it appears the Bode door is sticking when trying to open.  I have full AUX air.....  I don't see any grease fitting so was wondering if there was anything else to look at.  Thanks for your comments and/or suggestions!

My Aquahot is blowing cold air out of all of the registers and none of the circulation pumps are working. The burner is working fine and I get plenty of hot water, just no heating function. I tried tapping on things, checked all the fuses, swapped relays... nothing... Any suggestions?

I just went down the the tankage bay to check something and got a mild electric shock when I placed my hand on the floor.  It seems to be strongest at the tankage bay, but I can even feel it on the side mirror arms.  I turned off the main breaker in the upstairs closet as well as the panel by the inverter and I still feel the shock/current.  

I called Newell and did get a call back pretty quickly.  The call-back was to tell me that the guy I need to talk to will call me shortly.  LOL

Nevertheless, he was clearly a tech just maybe not specialized with the electric side.  I explained the situation and he suggested something with the shore power and sure enough, when I disconnect from shore power there is no shock/current.  I wish I paid closer attention to what he said so I can help fix the issue with the park management.


This park has clear issues with the electric.  The 30 amp hookups can't maintain voltage, even with a step-up transformer.  I'd move in a heartbeat, but it's beautiful here and i have few options nearby.

Has anyone had this issue with current in the lower chassis and can clue me in on what's going on?

We are at Oshkosh now for Airventure week starting next Monday. Third year for us in the Newell, if your here stop by and see us , space L251. We left Texas to escape the 100 degree heat only to battle failure of 2 of the 3 basement ac’s to condenser freon leaks. I have vacuum pump, gauges, lots of R22, torch and silver solder. So repairs almost done. Also failure of wet air tank in rear. Lesson there, automatic drain valves rust shut. The tank isn’t fun to change. Front 2nd air tank same issue, but previous owner drilled the pin hole and placed in a screw. That tank is next on work order.
No other Newell’s seen on trip up, if your into airplanes, this event is to be experienced. I’m a airplane guy, hence why I love Newell’s, just built well like airplanes are.

Hi All,

I am parked at an older park in RI that only has a 30 amp service.  I just updated and replaced my ammeters and voltmeters to what is attached.  I relocating them to over the door to make space for nicer speakers on each side of the TV.  The blue power button is to turn on and off the antenna in case I need to reset it.

Sorry for the tangent...I was hoping the original voltmeters were not accurate, but unfortunately for me they were.  I am only seeing between 99 and 104 volts on each leg (remember I am on a 30 amp 120 volt service).  I checked at the plug and it gets 110 volts or thereabouts - not great, but better than in the coach.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I can reduce the voltage drop to my panel?  I know 110 is still low and the park needs to get it closer to 120, but it seems I have an issue in the coach too.

Thanks in advance.
