So on my MacBook, I do not get the latest updates on threads whereas my phone is more current with what's going on. Both are Apple products. Is there a setting on my computer I need to adjust? Basically my computer makes it seem as if there is no activity here. Weird!

Had a brake dragging issue, after a long stop it seemed to be ok.  Temps went down.  Now at my location as soon as I release the parking brake there is a pretty massive brake system leak in the rear.  I'm pretty sure it is on that same passenger drive wheel.  As soon as I apply the parking brake the leak stops.

Any ideas what has failed.


I'm at Mountain Falls, North Carolina  Might also need mobile repair if it's not something I can do my self.  Any one have any recommendations for this area.

I will be replacing my front 315 rims and tires at Newell as I have decided to upgrade to 365.  These are for hubs with 1-1/8 studs.  They are in almost new condition.  One has a brand new tire, the other was put on in 2018 with minimal mileage.  If you are interested, let me know soon.  My appointment is at beginning of Nov, but I imagine it will be the sometime in Dec when they would be available.

hi all,

several years ago, the rubber door seal on the actual door itself of my bode air dear ripped about half way up on the left of the door as you are outside.  the rip was about 2-3 inches long.   i superglued it and it lasted a while and i glued it a second time.  

so i decided to replace it.  i called bode north america and gave them the door assembly part number which is listed in my thread from years ago.  it also has the bode drawings and part numbers for everything on the door.  

with that, i ordered the exterior door seal.   300 bucks.   

http://newellgurus.com/showthread.php?tid=655

it sat around for a while and since richard was here for a week, we decided to tackle replacing it

the seal came with preformed 90 degree corners for the top of the door and was about 2 feet long on each sided past the bottom of the door 

it did NOT have any of the holes cut in it for the 4 latches and 2 deadbolts.   we experimented with how to cut the holes on the old rubber (which by the way was much harder and more brittle than the new soft rubber seal)  it was the original as it had paint from when the coach was painted on it.  

richard set up my drill press with a forstner bit to drill the holes in the rubber, yea it worked and we experimented before doing it on the final piece.  there were 16 oblong holes for the latches (2 for each of the 4 latches) and 2 more for the deadbolts. 

there is no room for error or you will be buying a new 300 buck seal.  

we marked everything on the door with painters tape and pencil markings to know exactly where the adjustable latches had previously been.   then took the latches off, put the new seal on before cutting any holes in it, put it in the groove on the top and just around the top corners, then let the seal hang, and transfered the markings on the painters tape on the door to the new seal.

once we did that, we took the seal off and the holes were drilled and elongated with nippers.  

putting the seal on takes alot of slippery lubricant (we used the kids bubbles i use for air leaks) on the seal as then you have to get it pushed into an angular groove in the door (just like the slide seals).  

once the seal was all the way on and "adjusted" to make it fit over the holes, i cut the bottom off flush with the door, and put the two bottom new screws in to keep it from coming out at the bottom.  

then i spent some time adjusting the latches to get the door to inch upwards snugly (as the door closes, it comes in, the inches upward about 3/4 of an inch to get itself in the sloped latches.  

richard was the main hole cutter and i did my usual superversion.....ha    nice to have skilled helpers here.

Hi all,

My “gift”, if you will, is the love of technology and to make it usable yet understandable.  I’ve done this for years and years and, now that I am an RV-er, I’ve had the “prodding” to start making videos to help others.  So, I guess that’s what retirement is for, huh?  LOL!

Seriously though, I get a TON of enjoyment from seeing others have the lightbulb come on and suddenly make sense of the topic that once made them run for the hills!

So, that said…this video seems to be helping others so I wanted to post it as it’s own topic here, to make it easier to find.  Please let me know if you have any questions or need clarification.

ENJOY!!

We really like this coach and would love any info you might have on it.
We are newbies to Newell and don't know what we don't know.
