The rubber isolators (not sure what to call them) have been worn off. They prevent the metal ring base from scratching the flooring. I don't know how to insert a picture. Anyone know a substitute? Right now I'm using felt.

I think I have read every post in this section reguardingthe VMS system. 


Near as I can piece together, one needs a windows PC the software and a connector between the coach and the PC.

What I am not seeing is what is the connection between the connector on my coach and the PC? 



Grateful for any help offered. 

Cheers.

Got a bunch of marker lights out and it's for sure not just a bad bulb or socket.  By bunch I mean on my lower side lights the only ones lit are my middle and the rear red.  Thoughts on where to start?

After a harrowing last two miles for us due to a blown airline, this beauty pulled into Hearthside Grove Lake Erie just as I finished my repair. Seeing it felt like my reward...

Have a wonderful holiday weekend, everyone.

Super strange question but I had a tire losing some air and when the guys fixed it they told me the brakes were super hot and dragging. So I safely went down the the block to a big rig repair shop and asked if they could check it out after speaking with newell. They checked everything adjusted the shackles and greased the front suspension. All great but I have this strange fear now and bought a temp gun. After driving around the highway and city I stop test the temps and the fronts are around 240-300 depending on the type of driving and rears are 114-140. Am I just freaking my self out because its a new to me rv or is there something I need to seriously  have checked. 1980 newell

Well guys My family and I have purchased a 1980 38 foot coach and we are in love. We bought it from a wonderful couple that took care of her for a long time and now its time for use to create our memories with her. This is our first rv ownership but she was taken care of so well that there shouldn't be any major issues. Our plan is for next year road trip from Oklahoma all the way to Alaska. Also would love to say thank you all for recent replies on my other postings (still learning forums) so my apologies for not relying.

The topic says it all.

I asked Morgan at Newell about them... he was noncommittal.

Anyone have a source? I may just have to 3D print on or find something cool and have them made up.

Suggestions?

I'd say about 75% of my bay doors do not latch correctly on the first try.  What I end up doing is having to play around with a little toggle on the latch to get it in just the right spot and then shut it again.  Picking up some Lithium Grease spray in hopes that they are just poorly lubricated, but wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue and if there is anything else I need to be looking for.  Just drives me nuts every time I close a door.

a friend called with a 2001 with a problem that with the coach parked and key off and hwh leveling system is off that the rear drivers side would drop all the way in less than an hour.  

i went to his place and had him air it up.  

when he turned the engine off,  there was a loud air noise.   we checked the drivers side rear ride height valve and it was escaping air out the bottom port.  

that to me meant the drivers side rear travel solenoid was leaking.   i checked it and was not energized (put a screwdriver on the end of the nut holding the coil on and it was not magnetized....and with the key off it should not be)

we drained the air out of the system and as much of the airbag using the all down on the hwh panel.  

took the drivers side travel rear valve out of the six pack manifold and i took the valve apart.  

the buna seal on the center of the plunger that shuts the valve off was below the flush part of the stainless plunger, causing the valve to not seat properly and leak air through.  i replaced the plunger and spring and we put it back in the six pack, aired it up and now the ride height valve was not escaping air when the key was off.

We are currently working on a 1987 Newell Coach rebuild and are having the hardest time trying to locate the latches for the generator doors as well as the door handle.  I am wondering if there is a way to locate these at all or if there is a solid looking alternate to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
