Has anyone used a Lippert Ladder system?  It uses a collapsible ladder… looks pretty cool and that would make me feel a little better about getting my old body off the ground onto the roof…

I would love to find a way to buy a hub cover.  I had my Newell inspected and when I drove to my next destination the wheel lug cover on one tire flew off and is lost somewhere.

Can anyone tell me what model this is or where I could get one other than Newell?

Time to trim down the fleet!
I bought this toad vehicle only two years old and have used in maybe three times behind the Newell to the Keys from Tennessee.   I switched to my smaller Jeep 10 years ago.  Truck does not get enough use to justify keeping it.
96,xxx miles.
In excellent condition.  No issues and ready for new adventures.  Just supply your own RoadMaster bar, plug in the 4 way, and connected air for the M&G brakes, and pull the handle on the driveshaft disconnect.
It is located in East Tennessee near Knoxville.  I am willing to deliver it if the new owner will just cover the actual expenses of doing that.  The price is $9,999 firm.    Russ - [email protected]      
                                           

Door closes but hits frame on knob side and is a very snug fit.  My working assumption here is that shifting of all the materials over the course of thirty years has created this to be just ever so slightly out of alignment.. as I know its a close firm fit by design, just now is difficult to use.
My thoughts to cure this is to router the hinge into the door frame a little deeper to open up the gap on the knob side and reduce the gap on the hinge side.....  pictures attached.   Has anybody already tried This? Has anybody run into it? Is this a bad idea?  Are there other suggestions?   Thanks for all your thoughts in advance.

Today has been crazy. 1st issue was fuel gauge went from accurate to inaccurate every 20 minutes or so. Drivers front slide showed error and will not open. Did a hard restart on the coach which changed nothing. Tonight errors on main screen by microwave show low house batteries, low chassis batteries, comm error. Coach starts up fine. Also noticed today that regen hasn’t been coming on. Check engine light came on today and won’t turn off. Coach seems to run fine but not sure where to go from here. Tonight after Parking  drivers sash now shows No TM02 data. House batteries now show 0.0 volts. When we first parked batteries showed 14.4 but we can’t remember if the coach was running at the time or if just the generator was.

so I guess this is the reservoir for the fluid that runs the cooling fan. what fluid goes in this, look like and smells like atf/dextron transmission fluid. Any suggestions or clarification. And always thank you
   

 We are blessed to have the opportunity to be the new caretakers of BusNit’s (Simon) 1993 fully restored M 450 #312! We are spending Labor Day weekend at an RV Park 5 mins from our home to give us a chance to get acquainted! This is an amazing coach, and we will be forever grateful for the outstanding talent, blood, sweat and tears that Simon and Marie poured into this beautiful home on the road. We are entertainers (comedy ventriloquist) and will be touring and performing at RV Resorts across the country beginning in December. Thanks Simon and Marie, and we look forward to being regulars here on the forum!

I've been working on a slide issue on and off for a year, the front slide works fine but the rear slide did not, so first thing was to read out the wiring which I found it interesting that the wiring for the switches under the bed goes down low through the center conduit then out and up in the drive tag axle area to the switches under the bed and the locking pin magnetic switches and key extend retract wires goes above in the cove where the wall and roof met drivers side. There is some issues with the room in and out switches under the bed two of the four wires don't read out this is problem #1. Problem #2 I found by checking the wires and more than likely the real problem I found two burnt traces on the logic board for the rear slide. After removing it and reverse engineering the circuit found one of the 20 relays frozen in the ON position which took out a few diodes the only transistor and a 555 timer. Ordered and replaced all those parts but still no workie. Being old and stubborn does me no good, just call HWH and send the board to them or buy one from them so I did and someone was to call me back that day or possibly the next well that was the first of the week so I will call again this morning. 

Does anyone have a logic board for room #2?

I'm flying out to pickup a new to me 1986 Newell. I've followed Newell for years, however didn't really think I would own one. I'll be driving it back to Florida from Arizona so I should have plenty of time to get to know it. I'm sure I'll be asking questions as I figure things out. I've got a good bit of RV experience, just no Newell experience.
