Hey Gang,
Need some help installing an Air Force One reservoir in my coach #763. I can tee in for the air supply, but having a little trouble with the metered air. My coach has a 3/8" DOT air line out the back for a trailer, but this goes from 0psi up to about 50psi with full brake pedal. My understanding is I need to tee in to the brake system for the metered air, as it goes down when applying pedal. I really don't want to crawl under coach. Has anybody done this, and can they give me some pointers?
Thank you,
Ross Daniels

 Winegard Company Acquires SilverLeaf Electronics

"Winegard, a  designer and manufacturer of smart wireless solutions, has announced the acquisition of RV systems developer SilverLeaf Electronics.

Based in Albany, Ore., SilverLeaf is the RV industry's go-to engineering firm for all things related to telemetrics and RV-C networking, Winegard said. This includes instrumentation tools, IoT solutions, and engine and system monitoring.

According to Winegard, the acquisition will bring some of the best minds working in RV electronics together under one roof with the goal of developing innovative and life-enhancing products for RV enthusiasts. Martin Perlot, founder of SilverLeaf and pioneer in RV-C communications protocol, will stay on as general manager of SilverLeaf and take on the role of Winegard's VP of Digital Chassis."



No idea what this will do to pricing and the free download of VMSpc, just a heads up.

bob and sandy are here at our place with their beautiful 2007.

we are going to look for air leaks.  my question is this.....

if you look at the attached picture, the shop air hook up goes through the air doubler.  mine is totally separate.  

we hooked up my shop air, but had to turn on the valve to the air doubler.  the doubler makes its piston noise once in a while and i am not convinced any shop air is getting into the coach air because his 120v air compressor still comes on frequently.

those with this vintage, any advise?

i will take another look at it in the morning.

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.
