There is a wealth of information available on Newell Gurus for the BODE Door. As I research the problem with my door I will compile what I find and post in this thread.

Looking to purchase a Newell. I like both Prevost and Newell’s, and have had both but, leaning towards the Newell again. Front or mid entry, Kingbed, Cummins or cat, but no ISX 650 unless it’s had the makeover. Budget $550.000 cash buyer.

I have a strange phenomenon happen when I press the button to turn the auxiliary air compressors on or off on one of the control panels next to the microwave. When the auxiliary compressor switch is in the off position, the compressor button and three of the other six buttons on that panel turn on as if those buttons have been pressed and those items turned on (main water pump, diesel hot water, and electric hot water). Those extra items do not turn on, but their buttons show they are on. If I press one of those buttons, the item turns on and off normally, but the light stays on. Additionally, a panel above the front entry door has three buttons that also turn on (outside flood lights). Again, pressing those buttons toggle the items on and off, but the panel lights stay on regardless. The buttons in the water bay also show the main water pump as on all the time. When I press the auxiliary compressor to the on state, all other panel lights behave normally. Since I am chasing air leaks, I have been turning the compressors off so they don't run all the time, but it's driving me nuts to not know if my water pump and water heaters are really on or off. I've been turning the compressors on so my panel lights work correctly and have been physically unplugging the compressors to keep them from running. Is this one for the Newell factory to address and replace a faulty button panel? Or is there some other approach I can try. I did disconnect all power, including turning off all switches in the battery bay so there was no power to the coach and let it sit for a long while. I thought that may reset something, but it did not work.

Good day gurus. I can hear air leaking from behind the rear wheels. Using my leak detector, I tracked it down to the bottom side of the manifold that holds the air dryer filter behind the left rear tag tire. The leak is coming from where the hex head is located in the attached picture. The picture is the bottom of the manifold to which the air dryer filter is located on top. My question is whether I can try tightening the hex bolt or if that is not recommended? If I do tighten it, how hard can I crank down on it?

Anyone else experience a leak like this on their water pump? Was going to start with new outlet cap and thread tape.

My 2nd ever post in so many minutes.
My 89 Widebody has an annoying air leak from the wiper switches. Takes a bit of fiddling to get them to stop. I’m sure it’s the seals but I don’t know where to start looking to fix , replace or switch to electric?
 Thank you for any thoughts on the subject.
 Peter

Hello All:
  My name is Peter Smith and this is my first post.
  I have been eyeballing classic Newells for years and just now have purchased an ‘89 Widebody with 29K miles. #209 Flew out to Portland Oregon and drove her home to Massachusetts. 2380 hours on the generator and beautifully maintained and updated. The previous owner went top of the line with everything he did from installing the whole Victron management system to Recaro seats.
 Anyway I have for the moment one question. In the bathroom are three light switches and a gfi outlet in a row and one of the switches has a red light that comes on above it as I hear an electronic switch of some kind activating. The sound of the switch comes from the opposite side around the bedroom closet and I can’t figure out what it does. Along with the sound and the red circular light above it seems like it should have some importance.
 Any thoughts are appreciated and I am very pleased to now be a part of the Newell community.

This is admittedly stolen from the Wanderlodge group.

I surfed around their website and liked what I saw. 

We are always looking for replacement handles, catches, locks, and hinges
