HI,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE THE SERIAL NUMBER IS LOCATED ON THE MACH5 HEADHUNTER WATER PUMP?

While under the coach today enjoying the sights, (yes I was bored and the heat stirred or fried my brain) I noticed the diff bar. It doesn’t look very good. On occasion I need to correct the steering on straightaways.

Not sure what is acceptable wear but what do you guys think of this? Time to change? Where do I find this?

I had the shifter sent out and rebuilt last year or so. Today while admiring how clean and leak free my coach is, there was a distinct sound I could pick up with my ears. The sound was more like a very low humming pitched sound. When I put my finger around the shifters vent cap, the sound changed. With the excitement of a five year old on Christmas Day, I ran out of the pit and went to grab my high dollar air leak tool. (Soap bottle) sure enough my 54 year old hearing is still superb as I found this leak despite all the ambient noises from the ac’s running on the coach and at the house.

I sent a text with these pics to TH Anderson and hope I get a response tomorrow. 

Should this thing be venting off when parked?
Curious if this may have been a cause why I could not get it in gear at one of my fuel stops a couple months ago…

What is the purpose of this? Looks like it’s connected to a solenoid.

I want to isolate the front 6-pack from the supply. Curious if the main air input to the block is the 3/8” blue line. My goal is to see if the front suspension is what’s causing the aux tank leak down. I cannot find any air leaks and have gone through this whole thing many times with the Amprobe and bubble solution. Brake side holds air indefinitely.

I found this missing rivet on the bottom of our front slide.  It attaches a track on which (I'm guessing) the the slide moves on.  It's caused the rail to hang down and I'm afraid it will snag on the slide bladder when the slide is extended.

I saw the post on using Cherry aircraft rivets but we're about to head to Arizona in a few days and I don't know if there's enough time to order some online.  

The missing rivet is a countersunk, flush mount style and I haven't found any like that in the local hardware stores.  Does anyone have an idea of where I might find some locally?   We'd be in a bad spot if that track tore the slide bladder.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Gurus
I have a 2012 Newell Coach and the Carefree awning control panel no longer works near the entry way of the coach.  Up until today there was a green light on ( sometimes in blinked ) above the power switch and now it appears the control isn't getting power and i can't manipulate the awnings. 

I checked the 110Volt breakers in the electronics baby and the 2B breaker for the awning is in the correct position and not tripped. I reset it just to check and still no power to the controller.  Does anyone have any incite about this? 

Note: I also removed the control panel and disconnect the telephone style connector on the box and reinstalled.  Still no power to the box.  

Any information or incite would be greatly appreciate.

I'm visiting a Canadian friend that is new to Newells. He has a 2010 coach with a 16 foot long living room slide and it leaks. I'm not listing his name or coach number, at his wish. We narrowed the leak down to the middle of the slide where the seal rests against the slide's outer skin. The seal is inflated but does not seem to seal well in the center. I can watch water well up along the inside of the sealing area, eventually dripping over. There are two tabs on the top inboard edge of the slide. Each one is about 4 to 5 feet in from the side. It looks like these tabs go into spots in the top of the slide opening. My guess is that these keep the slide roof from sagging. The tabs appear to be solid. I can't move them by hand. The tabs are about 1/4" thick, so I think they don't bend easily. Since the slide is in, I can't tell if or how hard they touch structure.
My temporary solution for him would be to find some 1/16" thick vinyl strip and stick it to the top of the slide with 3M tape, such that the slide seal keeps water out. This would get him to Newell on his way home at some point. Thoughts, anyone?

Hello everyone, my wife and I have sold our house in south Florida, closing this week, and will be purchasing a Newell very soon. We have been going to RV shows for over 5 years and we have visited a number of dealer showrooms. We have seen many configurations, I cannot begin to count the number of driver seats I have tried. But I always come back to my first sit in a Newell in Tampa a few years ago - it was the first and only one I felt completely comfortable in. So we have been on the hunt and watching RV Trader closely for several years, and the time has finally come to make the move.

I have been consuming the great information on this site (thank you for all the posts!) and understand there are a few Gurus that do inspections. Are there any in the Phoenix area that we could hire to inspect the two we are considering for purchase? Since this is our first RV we plan to buy used, budget is $250K. There are a couple in the Phoenix area that are under this number; I expect to spend an additional 20-30% of the initial cost for maintenance, unknowns and simple modifications so we can get on the road and begin the adventure with confidence. I would like to have a good understanding of what the coach needs are before I sit with a sales person, negotiate and sign paperwork.

I have a small fleet of older cars, mileage on all but one well into the six figures. I have discovered over the decades that mileage does not matter, maintenance and regular use matters. I do not like mechanical work - so I take the vehicles to experts. I prefer to do preventative maintenance rather than repairs, so they are all immaculately maintained. I figure that plan will also work with RV's, it's just the dollar amount increases by an order of magnitude. But in a RV mechanicals are just one part of the whole; I understand that there is rarely a time that everything is working perfectly. Although I detest mechanical work, I do love to tinker - electrical, plumbing, woodworking, everything a home requires. I always have projects to do. I'm an electronics engineer by education, an information security geek by profession - which makes me a professional troubleshooter. Without a house, I will be hungry for projects - and what better way to get to know your home on wheels than to dive into the non-mechanical projects that will be there to do? I love to learn, and I have no doubt the learning curve will be a vertical line for the foreseeable future. We plan to live and work from the bus at least 10 months a year. We are SO looking forward to sleeping in our own bed rather than hotels (I'm writing this from another nice yet uncomfortable hotel room) We've driven across the country coast to coast six times, staying in hotels or with friends/family, unpacking, packing. We are ready to explore this spectacular country we call home without unpacking. Is there a better way than in a Newell?

Thank you for reading, we are looking forward to meeting as many of you as we can.
