I will need to lean on all of you for technical support since this is our first Newell.  I hope I get meet some of you in person on the road

I am the new owner of 596. I reside in Palm Beach Gardens FL. I am working through the list of issues. It is a beautiful coach I really like the burl wood interior.
I am sure I will have a Million Questions as a work out all the bugs.
Thanks
David

I started removing the non working middle ac condenser today. I think it may need to be evacuated and recharged later in order to remove it to rebuild the unit underneath it. The wood shelf it sits on is fongoliated and delaminating too. I have a couple of Grainger 3RCX7 motors to be picked up later this week. New capacitors and a couple of new PTCR starters as well. My question is do I just order straight 2 terminal 20MFD compressor run capacitors if I will be using the capacitor that comes with the Dayton blower motor? My dometics use 20/7.5 capacitors and I am under the belief the 7.5 portion is for the existing blower motor. (Condenser fan) Any other tips? Compressor contacts under the cover look spotless. All units were blowing cold air before dying.

I 'don't know who you are but I thank you for keeping such good care of this coach and of the records. 

I have not only the original documents but the manuals of all the items that have been upgraded. 


Thank you.

So I have the air operated toilet. It spits at me from time to time when I actuate the flush lever. 

It is not consistent, it tends to happen when the tank is mostly full or empty, but that is not consistent.  


Is it a random blockage of the vent? Is it something in the actuator system. 

My leaning is to the tank having an internal pressure, except that I just flushed 3 times and it spit all three times. The interval was flushing as soon as the bowl was full (the water stopped flowing into the bowl) 


Thoughts?

Any recommendations on how to sanitize our fresh water holding tank and how often should it be done?

Had a wiper issue so I bought a brand new set of blade style wipers from AM Equipment and it did not fix my issue, it may be worse.  Blade makes full contact for 6 inches and then only makes contact for about six inches on top and bottom leaving the center roughly one foot completely untouched.

Welp, the title says it all…well, most of it.

My friend has a newer coach, 1731, and has quite an interesting issue... His Jeep goes dead unless he runs his generator. ?

He has an AF1 and is going to reach out to the installer on Monday.

In the meantime, I’ve been trying to come up with possible causes and am wondering if anyone here has some further ideas or experience.

I feel the only plausible cause is that his Jeep’s charging harness (if one exists) was connected to a power source that’s only HOT when the Gen is running.

I’m not sure if the newer coach’s 7-way is wired differently to power a stacker; perhaps only with a generator.

Thanks in advance.

Any thoughts?

Found it on Craigslist just a few hours ago. Seller is asking $20,000. If anyone wants a project, it could be worth taking some time to look closely at this one
