I'm not partial to one or another but rather looking to see which one would work best on a tablet. I wanted to install a small tablet somewhere to monitor engine operating stats when underway. That said, I do not want to have a laptop set up on the console. What's the popular consensus on which system would work for my needs with a small 8-10" tablet? Thanks guys!

My AH system is running fine and heating all zones but the only register I am finding in the front (living room) is under the kitchen cabinets on the passenger side.  Is there another register up front near or in the dash?

So I noticed with the advent of col weather that my RED gauge needle is dropping down to 60  and the compressor turns on to refill...

What systems affect the red line??

Thanks!

Last winter in Colorado Springs, we had freshwater pipes freeze in the driver's side bay. Seemed like the frozen area was in the pex beyond the valve manifolds. Luckily we didn't have any bursts or leaks after thawing out.

At the time, the front of the electric cube heater down there was not warm, so I figured it was the heater or the thermostat that sits on that side. I threw an electric heater down there above the water tank to make it through the rest of the winter.

Well, winter is upon us again and figured I'd work on a permanent solution.

But I ran across a bit of a surprise today.

The driver's side 120V cube heater appears to be controlled by the passenger side thermostat. And the aquahot bay heat exchanger and fan appears to be controlled by the little thermostat on the driver's side with the copper capillary tube. Exactly the opposite of what I expected.

Does anybody know why Newell would have done this?

The passenger side is usually fairly warm just from having the aquahot over there. I suspect that the thermostat on that side rarely trips to turn on the 120V heater. I'm considering just moving the 120V thermostat over to the driver's side bay so that the 120V heater is controlled based on local (to the heater) temperatures, but want to make sure I'm not shooting myself in the foot somehow by doing so.

So I had a postponed job on Monday and Tuesday. Being thrown a monkey wrench into my schedule I had to quickly find a place for my guys. So I had them come to my place to install a 50 amp circuit for the Newell. I used my little bobcat with trencher to dig the exterior portion to make it a little easier for the guys. I have a sub panel in the garage which is 130' away from the final point. They had to cut up some drywall in a sitting room behind the master bedroom and Marie's closet. Overall not too bad. My drywall guy is coming tomorrow and if he had been busy, I would have patched it up myself. I have smooth textured walls which make any repairs easy. Matching the paint, well that's another story!  It turned out great overall. I also put a Cat5 line and a water spigot there too. I dropped the coach off at a suspension shop to give it a lookover as it has a thumping sound when going over small bumps.

My bird Coco sat with me during the final connections! (We raise Classic Old Frills Satinette Pigeons)

The grommets fit in the steel holes on the top of HWH slides.  Grommets were designed to quiet the banging while traveling.  HWH says that they have been obsoleted.  Any one found a replacement?  Any one have some of the old ones?

Please keep Ernie and his family in your thoughts and prayers! Many of you may know Ernie as the guy who installs flooring in our coaches - he has been around this group and others for a long time and is a wonderful, kind, caring person.

From the Lone Star Birds group: 
While Ernie and Brenda were visiting family in Lubbock, Ernie experienced a heart attack at 4 am on Saturday morning, November 30.  Ernie is now convalescing in the Lubbock Methodist hospital after surgery to replace the valves in his heart.  Latest information is that he is doing well and is already getting some limited amount of exercise.  Let's pray for Ernie and Brenda during this stressful time.
Regards, Eric Johnson

Hi Everyone- we bought this Newell Coach in June and are excited to start working on it. It needs mechanical work and we also want to change some things inside. For example we want to buy a new toilet seat but aren’t sure where to buy it.
It’s not a regular/typical
Rv toilet. This seems to me electrical and uses a pump? If anyone had any ideas or recommendations please let us know Smile
