Hi All,

I just noticed yesterday that I had a slow drip coming from the very front, middle of the coach. Extended the generator and noticed hydraulic drops all along the slide ram.

Where we're at, our leveling has the front of the coach practically touching dirt, so I can't get very far under the coach to assess much more, but it is my belief at this point that either the ram is leaking or one of the hoses.

I'd like to cap and plug off the generator ram so that we don't drop a bunch of fluid every time we put the slides in or out until we can get it fixed. But I'm having trouble identifying which lines from the manifold are for the generator ram.

We're HWH and have 2 slides (flat floor salon and non-flat floor bedroom) plus the generator slide.

Our manifold has the 12 of the older T handle solenoids split across 2 connected manifolds. I presume 6 for front slide (EXTEND, RETRACT, LOCK, UNLOCK, FLOOR UP, FLOOR DOWN), 4 for rear slide (no FLOOR), and then 2 for generator EXTEND and RETRACT.

I've tried looking at all of the labels that are still attached to find the solenoids for the generator, but rather than being labelled as the generator slide, I have 3 ROOM EXTEND, ROOM RETRACT pairs.

The HWH docs don't show a diagram for this configuration. They just show a config for 10 solenoids / 2 rooms. Their diagram shows the flat floor as the lower manifold and the bedroom as the top. I'm assuming that the generator option just replaces the top with another 6 solenoid manifold and that the generator slide is on the end, but I don't want to get caught out by a bad assumption.

I'm also trying to figure out the hoses -- which is my ultimate goal, of course, so I can cap/plug the hose and manifold. There are only 3 hoses on the back of each manifold block. From the HWH docs, it looks like the cap end comes into the back of the manifold and the rod end comes in the top or side. What's odd to me is that my lower manifold only seems to have 2 rod end lines coming back into it.

And lastly, are these all JIC 1/4" ID hydraulic connectors?

Hello all. 

Total NOOB here. 

I'm in the process of buying coach 484. It would be my first self propelled RV. 

I'm looking to half time in the coach during the height of the arctic season of Alaska, you know from January to June and from July to December. 


Cheers. 

Safe travels.

The C-15 Cat has intake valve actuators with an associated oil pressure sensor.  Apparently failure of the oil pressure sensor is a common problem and results in the "check engine" light illuminating on the driver's panel.

By turning on the ignition, turning off the cruise control and depressing and holding the set or resume button of the cruise control the "check engine" light will flash.  By counting the number of flashes a two digit fault code will be generated.  For instance nine flashes brief pause five flashes = 95, the fault code for the intake valve actuator oil pressure voltage fault.  The codes can be found listed in the Caterpillar Operation and Maintenance Manual or online.

Has a guru with a C-15 Cat run into this problem?  Facing the engine the sensor is on the driver side at the top of the block behind an air conditioning compressor and ahead of the turbos.  On ours well obscured up by surrounding equipment.  
Did you replace with OEM or aftermarket part?

Sensor Cat Part #2842728
O-ring Cat Part #2147567

   

I have a small piece of trim missing from the Passenger side, in front of the drive wheel arch.

Is this something I can find or is it Newell only? I can easily fix the arch itself, it's just fiberglass, but the trim looks more onerous.

See below:

Thank you!

1992 Newel. Need passenger side window glass. Newell is of no help! Called a couple of glass companies and was told they couldn't make it had to come from manufacturer. wth

So, just noticed that i have a baking rack and a metal plate, but NO glass carousel nor carousel support.

Anyone know the part numbers for them? or have spares from a busted microwave?

While I'm thinking about it, does someone have a photo of the carousel drive disc? The one under the plate. Mine looks a bit toasted and crunchy, but I'm not sure since I never saw one new!

Thanks,

Since I do not have a dinette table, I am going to have one fabricated from the original material.

i see two basic shapes from Newell's of my era. Round end and flat end with rounded corners. Either way, can someone measure it and tell me it's width )seat to seat) and length (from the wall. Also..if possible height of top above the floor.

Also, if anyone knows what epoxy is used both to assemble the layers and to fill in the routed trim line groove, I would be grateful!

Thanks,

Hi all, looking for some entry step paint advice.
My entry step works great, but aesthetically , it is in pretty bad shape. I'm thinking about  refinishing it and am looking for some advice on paint. Due to the amount of foot traffic on the step, I'm not sure a standard spray paint will hold up. Should I take it to an automotive paint shop or find a place to get it powder coated?

Has anyone done this and what paint did you use? How's the durability?
Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks, Tony

Hey All,
  I am troubleshooting/rebuilding my aquahot system and the rain has put a damper on the outside work.

Like most of you, I have a Cyberdyne red LED round gauge over the microwave that reads out the Aquahot temperature. Trouble is, mine is off.

I have some unconnected wires in the Aquahot bay, that may be the culprits, but have no idea which ones feed that gauge. I know there should be a temp sensor someplace on/in the Aquahot unit and some way to feed power to the gauge.

Anyone know which wires are which? This is a particularly Newell problem.

Thanks!

We have just begun looking at a 2006 Newell, so far just on the internet/email.

The salesman I have emailed back and forth with says the coach has "air leaks at the moment" they are dealing with "stubborn slide rooms and the entry door is "acting up". 


Before I invest anymore time/effort in this coach how big of an issue can air leaks be. I have no desire to run new air lines in a coach. If someone might be able to give me an idea of the expense I would certainly appreciate it.

They suggested I hire an Inspector, it is a bit early for that.

My largest concern is I don't know what I don't know.
