I have been experiencing bubbling in my bowl as of late, she holds no water more than two to three minutes. My dw is saying it smells which leads me to believe that the business isn't being entirely flushed to the tank. I have a very short horizontal pipe of 30" to the tank.

I doubt now that there is an obstruction in the line maybe just not enough pressure because it coming into the bowl as bubbles!

Always something. So is this a 5 on the scale of 10 to change, I really don't want to fight with pulling this thing right now.

too many bubbles in Elk Grove!!

  Outside Air Temp Sending Unit

I've searched every way I can think of and find info on just about every gauge and sending unit on the coach except the outside air temp gauge above the driver's seat.  The gauge died and upon replacing it the new gauge lights up but displays "000".  I have tried every wiring configuration available since the new gauge had one wire that was color coded differently.  At this point I am assuming it was designed for a different type of sending unit (a new one came with the gauge) but I can't seem to locate the existing one to replace it.  Does anyone have a clue as to where it's mounted?  I've looked in the bay under the driver's seat and under the coach where the six pack is, no luck so far.

Has anyone got any experience with Hankook tires on their coach?
I know that Michelin owns 10% of Hankook.
And they are a major tire company based in S Korea.
And they are a major tire provider to the road race people ... Lemans.
FMCA recently added the to their tire program.
My dealer handles both Michelin and Hankook, and says Hankook has been a great tire.
He says the Hankook coach tires are made in Akron OH.
They are considerably less money than the Michelin’s.
Michelin’s are great tires just at a premium price.

My fans aren't working at all anymore. Does anyone  know where the fuses are?  Before they quit altogether they would work only when controlled locally, the switches on the panel above the galley and inside the bathroom never have had any impact on their operation.  Any guesses as to why that would be?

  New Newell owners

Hello Newell friends,
We're Dale & Shari Nelson and we've just purchased our Newell #599 triple slide and took delivery of it about 
10 days ago. We picked it up in South Haven, MI and headed for our home in Denver, CO.... we stopped and 
spent the night in western Illinois. The following day we headed west toward Omaha and stopped at the Shelby
RV Park in Shelby, IA....super nice helpful people running that place (we'd need that the next day) we get ready to
leave on Sunday put in the 2 rear slides, we're putting in the front slide and the floor drops and it stops. My heart
skipped a beat as we haven't even made it home....

So I called Newell and they're very helpful but I'm not the right person to fix my RV, in the bay in the front drivers side
I can hear a click when we try to move the slide, I immediately thought solenoid but at this point know absolutely 
nothing about this coach. I had an RV serviceman come out from Omaha and he spoke with the service people 
from Newell to troubleshoot with no easy obvious fix. He ended up bypassing the solenoid and was able to get
the slide in. At this point none of the slides work. I've talked to Jim Raymond with Newell service and he has been very helpful, I was able to meet Jim about 2 weeks as we went to Newell and looked at a coach in Miami. 


I've been reading this forum for a few days now and feel a little overwhelmed but I'm determined to learn what I need
so we really enjoy our coach. Our RV life was a 1989 Winnebago Superchief we bought new and enjoyed for about 
3 yrs, by then we had our 5th child and sold the RV and ran our businesses and raised the 3 boys, 2 girls. 

The lady we bought the coach from used it very little and I didn't get much information from her,  my frustration so far is trying to figure out how everything 
works, I want to find someone who can go over the coach with us to help us understand it. I've tried to set up service 
in Colorado but everyone is booked for 1-2 months. We're going to take the coach to St. Louis this Thursday and try to 
set up service there or in Miami at Newell.

I was reading in the forum and a couple of the guru's are going to Elkhorn Ridge Resort in June of 2021, I said to my wife
we need to go and meet you. I can see on the forum how nice you are and helpful with the other Newell owners.
I look forward to meeting some of you in the future.

Guys,

The other day I was tidying up the wires to my last tail light project.   I noticed that my engine was a bit dusty.   I immediately thought about Steve Bare’s engine.   (For those that have not seen it....it is so shiny you have to wear shades when viewing it).   Anyway I decided to clean up the bay a bit.   I used denatured alcohol to cut through the grease and then plain ole soap and water.   I’m pretty pleased about the way it turned out.   Note that this ole kitty has 260,000 miles on her.

So...who’s up?   Let’s see a pic of your engine bay!

   
Cheers,
Bill

Ps.  Bonus dog pic.
