Glad to be joining the group.  God willing and the creek don’t rise, we will close on #808, 2007 P2000i, 4 slide coach.  We’ve been looking for a couple of years to find one with the “must-haves” that we wanted.  Selling our ‘13 Tiffin Allegro Bus 45LP, so if you know anyone send them our way.  So much to learn!!

Best,
Terry

Hey guys/Gals,
My coach 1242 doesn’t have power to to dash, ignition, etc... unless I flip the emergency start switch on dash.  Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? I have quickly looked in front compartment to check fuses and haven’t found any that aren’t blown.  I’ll call Newell if need be but I’d prefer to attempt to solve issue on my own since I’m not planning any trips in few weeks and know newell service is probably overwhelmed w cold weather and calls. Thanks in advance!

If Winegard injects money into product development, this could be a good thing.

We have full hook ups in front of the shop. Water, 50 amp and sewer dump, all set up for a Newell.  Easy on and off the freeway, wide driveway and no overhead problems. 

I can't offer the knowledge for repairs as Tom can, but I'm willing to help

We love to travel also, so let me know when your traveling thru, your welcome for a few days of R&R.  PM me for more info and pictures if needed.

We are 1 mile off the 395 in Carson City.  28 miles south of 80/395 interchange in Reno

Tonight I lost power to the fridge, 120 V vanity lights, several outlets, etc.  The L1 voltmeter above driver seat shows 0.


I traced the problem to the generator/shore switch in the rear closet.  I have 120 on each leg and 240 across the legs on coming into the Cutler-Hammer C65FNF360.  But going out only L2 has power.

I toggled the shore/generator switch back and fourth a couple of times to see if it would reset with something simple, it didn't.

It is -9 here now and the generator won't start so I can't see if that gives me power on both legs coming out of the transfer switch.

What are your thoughts?

I'll probably direct wire to bypass the switch in the morning for a temporary fix.

I am considering a trip thru the North East this year. Dates of travel to be determined on what's available to stay at.

 Philadelphia, Boston, Bar Harbor Maine, Hershey, Amish country. Never had my Coach in this quadrant of the US. Any advise or details that I shouldn't miss ? 

Thoughts are appreciated.

]$338 lesson, Hopefully I can save somebody else this problem.

This oil separator mounted in the engine bay passenger side of my model, in my opinion now, does not need to be changed. I like to keep things fresh and ready for foul weather, hot or cold and I thought I would change this filter. It was very tight, but I just thought I didn't eat my Wheaties. I got it off and decided to put better air line fitting on at the same time. 

The Filter has a drain, use it. mine would not open easily, but once open, it had nothing.

Here is the problem as I see it.

The filter, steel body, is threaded onto a Aluminum manifold and thread. Mine was over tighten and did not have "never seize" added to the thread.
As I reexamined the manifold most of my threads were missing. I can't take the chance of the filter popping off or leaking while traveling so I replace the whole assembly. I tried looking for the whole unit online. I gave up and contacted Newell and had it in 3 days.
                           


PS, not sure what I did to change font size on some and not other parts of the post. (Font size fixed-Admin)

Hello everyone,

So I have a LOT of various dilemmas right now in glorious Yoakum, TX. One of those dilemmas is my driver’s side will not raise while in Travel mode.  I can raise it manually from the panel just fine. When I raise it up and then go into travel mode, driver’s side sinks back down.  I can see the armature for the HCV and it is very obvious that it’s getting pushed correctly by its distance to frame.  Since travel mode allows the HCV to exhaust air from the bags I believe the travel solenoid is operating properly.  

The way I understand the HCV is as follows:  Supply air flows into the Inlet on the HCV. The “delivery” side of the HCV connects to the appropriate travel solenoid. When the travel solenoid is energized it allows air to pass freely from the related bag tanks to the HCV. This connection between solenoid and HCV allows the Valve to directly adjust bag pressure mechanically at the HCV.  When the solenoid is not energized, the HCV can’t get air into or out of the bags. 

This makes me think that inside the driver side HCV, the dump side is stuck open. Allowing the air to flow back out at the same speed it goes in.  Is there a way to really confirm this?  I’ve been stationary for about 3 weeks and this wasn’t an issue before now. I’ve got a road service guy coming next week to change out my rear and tag air bags. I’d like to have what I need in hand to get going again. I have a couple of weeks before I head to Atlanta for work.  Since I’m full time, old 419 needs to go with me.
