  Bedroom sliding door sticks

My one door gets stuck at the last 3" of travel. The bottom most metal plate rubs on the inside of the door opening. Is there a way to adjust this? I tried squeezing a wrench to the top nut but it just doesn't fit in there. If the door gets pushed all the way in, I need to pry it out to open it. Frustrating!

I placed jack stands at where I think would be a safe load handling point of the front of the chassis. Am I wrong to put them there? Compressor is keeping things afloat until I get some reaffirmation! Found two air leaks so far and one is at some manifold above the front 6pack. Not sure what that one does but they have a 1/4" tube bent and tied off. (I posted the jack location on FB too)

  bad solenoid in compressor bay? 09 Newell

This morning we lost pressure and I got locked out of the coach. I called and got instructions on how to vent the door and manually open it. Before doing that, I had the wife start the engine and when the pressure came up, I was able to get in.
I did some looking and didn't find any leaks. After 4 or 5 uses of the door the small compressor started up. There is a solenoid on the wall above that is bleeding air until the engine compressor hits 120, then it stops, and the compressor stops.

I can't figure out how to send a picture, unfortunately. I can send it in an email...

Photo 2015 Valve Extension Staiblizer Dilemma

Ok...I've done my diligence and scoured all ends of the inter-earth, including too many phone calls, on this one.

I'm attempt to replace all my valve stems and extensions on my wheels.  I bought official Alcoa kits, as per the REP at Alcoa to be sure I got perfect matches to our rims, unique to Newells.
Problem is, the rubber Stabilizer grommets (P/N 8864 - see below) are supposedly 2.5" but they ARE NOT a tight fit!!  In fact, without doping them up with silicone, I'm guessing they'd just flop out of the hole.

Does anyone, by chance, know anything further on this silly little deal?


I've dug and dug...and this is the best info I came up with...yet...argh!!

For Alcoa Wheel (22.5 x 9) #896510 with 2.5" hand-hole:
  • Alcoa Stems #70MS07
  • Alcoa Extensions #000392
  • Alcoa Stabilizers #008864

Hello everyone,
My wife and I are fairly new to Rv-ing and currently coach less. We purchased a new 2017 Winnebago Grand Tour 45 RL in October of 2017 when I retired. I liked that coach a lot and put 40,000 miles on it in just over 3 years. We then decided that we no longer wanted to live in Southern California, so we started making plans for my wife's upcoming retirement and California exodus in about 18 months. This prompted us to take advantage of a hot real estate market and we sold our home in less than 21 days, we then decided to sell our coach as I have always wanted a Newell.  Our current situation is that we are having our retirement home built in Sparks Nevada, buy the time the house and RV garage are completed I can then start looking for a preowned Newell. Probably more information than anyone on here wants to know Big Grin

  Prepping for flooring and wall paper

Today was a good day to get a ton of stuff removed in preparation for flooring and wall papering. It is my birthday but that didn't stop me even though my wife wanted my company. I did tell her I'd be in the bus if she wanted to join me!  Did I say these things are well put together? The linoleum is as it was when I pulled the original carpet. I did not cause the tears or scraped chunks. Is it going to be ok to glue down corked backed vinyl planks to the existing linoleum flooring?
