So.. I have one of my toilets working quite nicely. (1/2 bath) the other seems to work differently. I know a PO worked on it, and I'll wager something is put back together improperly.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me look at this video and let me know what to repair/adjust?

Thanks!

Forgive me for not introducing myself at the beginning.  My name is George, and my wife and I are looking to purchase a Newell coach.  I have a fairly extensive mechanical/electrical background, so I’m looking ahead to what mods I may need/want to do, or have done.

Can the battery system, both chassis and coach, be changed to use lithium ion batteries?  And if so, is it something that can be done by the owner?

Thanks in advance.

George

I've recently saw a facebook post for an 85 Newell in Tulsa, Ok. If anyone is looking for a classic 85 newell with 8v92, and allison reach out to Ms. Janet at 

nine#one#eight
#2#eight#nine#
six#seven#four#5 

I've spoken to Ms. Janet about the coach, but I did not get a chance to look at the coach outside of the pictures sent. Beautiful red coach with red interior. Not affiliated. No kick backs - just passing this on to someone who may be looking for one..

This hose system was removed off our 2015 coach, thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.  It is leak-free and in terrific condition, both in color and integrity.

The blue nozzle is their previous model, and has faded some, but it's lubricated and works smoothly.  Their newest model is dark green and will not fit onto this clear-view section.

I hate just tossing this in the landfill, and am hoping someone will put it to good use; I think it'll serve many more years.

The collapsed size is considered 68", and will extend to 22'.

This is their updated hose, and it's features are:

  • Improved 4 to 1 compression ratio, i.e. each foot of retracted hose extends 4 feet. Our earlier Polychute hose was 3 to 1 so you'll notice this new hose extends farther than your old hose.
  • Sta Put feature- hose behaves like a bendable drinking straw. Pull it out or push it back and it stays.
  • Durability- The helical is on the outside of the hose with NO METAL wire inside making it “Crush Proof”.
  • Smooth Interior- Prevents waste from getting trapped inside.
  • Clear View Fitting- allows you to see when the tanks are clean.


MY HOSE HAS GONE ONTO NEW PLACES TO BE THE ENVY OF YET ANOTHER CAMPGROUND!!  THANK YOU!

I am installing a Splendide Washer/Dryer Model 2100XC into the location where the stacked washer and dryer were.

Anyone know if I need a 90 degree elbow to get to the clutch cable controlled vent?

Also, do i need a plastic drip pan. There is a hole cut in the floor of the closet that just drops into the bay below. Did it have a drain and if so, where did it get plumbed to?

The hole is in the middle of the floor just out of frame on the first picture.

Thanks,

So, I was going to install a typical Silverleaf system, but I really wanted to NOT have so many cables to deal with and I wanted a bit more OS flexibility...like Android. I have quite a few extra Asus Tranformer TF700's to use and they work great.

I ordered a Bluefire from https://bluefire-llc.com/store/j1939j170...id-adapter (if you want APPLE OS compatible you will need -->https://bluefire-llc.com/store/500k-j1939j1708-ios-adapter

Then I had a special cable made up by http://obd2allinone.com/allinone.asp The owner is Ken Siebert and he was EXTREMELY helpful. The cable from goes from the 12-pin ALDL (Daewoo) style connector in our Newells (J1708) to a 9-pin Deutsch that would accept the BlueFire dongle.

The adapter cable was around 40.USD. That was all I needed. The Bluefire Dongle and the cable.

I setup the software and installed the dongle in my front console I removed the dash connector and reinstalled in UNDER the dash pad on the left side and ran the Bluefire dongle through a hold so it sticks out into my console interior. That wasy I can see the lights on it for diagnostics is something ever goes wrong.

Connected it to my Android laptop via bluetooth and Voila! Lots of information to play with at my fingertips. Worked flawlessly on the 2000+ mile trip from Albuquerque to New York.

I am working on custom Dash presentations now...it's very customizable, but worked right out of the box.

I will add some photos when I can

Does anyone know the brand and model of the articulated arm water faucet in the wet bay? Mines missing, and the plastic one is not worth the plastic it's made from.

Thanks!

Attached is a (admittedly bad) photo of what appears to be another valve behind and to the right of the Dupree Air operated dump vale.

What's it for?

Thanks,
