I am putting new Alcoa Wheels on with my 365 upgrade and want to update the front wheel covers. Does anyone know where Newell gets the the one in the attachment?

Thanks!

I have a 20kw Kohler generator head on a Yanmar engine.  It has glow plugs.

It cranks fine in warmer weather but below 40 it takes several hits on the starter switch to turn over.  It fires up right away once the starter cranks even down to 25 degrees so far.  It seems like a weak starter.

However, it got me to thinking has anyone installed an engine block heater on their Yanmar?  Even though I have glow plugs and they seem to be working I think being able to preheat the engine should reduce wear and tear.  What are your thought

We plan to regularly use the Newell in cold weather, even with temps in single digits.

If you have Knorr Bremse disc brakes on your coach, you may want to put one of these into your tool box. The caliper pins are bolted in with a bolt that takes 14 mm hex to remove. If you are in TimBuk2 with a stuck caliper, you could in a pinch remove the caliper pins from the backside with this tool. You could clean them up, grease them, and put them back in without removing the wheel or the brake caliper. It’s not the proper way to do it, but it can be done.  

Not ideal, but as another owner will tell you, a stuck caliper could result in a fire. 

You will not find this tool at your local hardware, Lowe’s, or NAPA. 

If you were really stuck, you could take a bolt with a 14 mm hex head, thread two jam nuts on it, and use that to remove the pins.

https://www.amazon.com/Foambeak-Vertical...183&sr=8-2

For a number of years I have tried a dozen different techniques for reapplying the foam that is inside the wheel wells, and on the bottom of bay floors. Nothing I tried was efficient, worked with a flip, and didn’t result in most of the foam sticking to me. Until I stumbled in this little device. 

The way I used it was that I inserted about 10 inches of tubing between the foam can nozzle and the beak. That way you can hold the can completely inverted, and maneuver the beak with ease. The way to use the beak is to hold it flat against the overhead or vertical surface and move it along at a moderated rated while holding straw in the triggered position. The foam will stick to the surface and then expand to about 1.5 inches thick. One can of the standard Lowe’s/HD foam will cover about 2 square ft. 

You won’t really appreciate this gadget until you have tried to apply foam from a can onto a overhead surface.

40'6" 3 slide Newell with Salvage Title. Listed as 24,000 miles but VIN check shows new odometer in 2012 with 211 miles. C-13. Consult with Newell before purchasing any Newell with a Salvage Title. Size and paint looks like 748 but do not confuse the two coaches.  https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2005-Ne...5015396443 also
