Not sure where to order this part. Martin? Online somewhere? It does leak and my reflection shows it!

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)

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...

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

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

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?

I always tried to "guessimate" the load my RV was drawing; whether across a shoreline, or through a charger, or even outputs from a battery.  Never seemed to be consistent or match up with specs or other gauges.

Soooo...not sure why I didn't get a Clamp Meter long ago, but now that I have one, I'll always have one nearby!  I also made a special pigtail "hack" so I can use the meter to check any appliance that can be plugged in!

I created this video to show what I did, and teach others...enjoy!
