We have owned this coach for 10 years. It was purchased in Grand Rapids and driven to British Columbia, Canada where it is currently registered. The engine is the Detroit Diesel 6V92 with about 125,000 miles. The coach was completely refurbished in 2006, inside and out. We have also done upgrades to the plumbing, electrical and flooring. The coach has been 100% maintained, with all receipts available. She runs very well with no current mechanical issues.

Please contact me at [email protected] for price and any other details.

I am looking at a 1995 Newell in the Macon, GA which appears to need quite a bit of work, but I need to get the full extent of what is going on. 

Is there anyone in the Macon, GA area which anyone knows who does inspections?

Thanks,
David

If you have worked on a pneumatic Microphor very much, you already know that getting the sequencing valve to seal to the vacuum breaker valve is a tricky endeavor given the seals are small o rings and the alignment is controlled by plate that affixes to the back of the toilet wall with hidden wing nuts. It’s a terrible design, and it frustrates me anytime I have to work on the toilet. 

We are in NO WHERE Montana, and that connection started gushing. Did I say gushing? The short nipple that screws into the sequencing valve split. It too is a poor execution of injection molding. The hex that is molded into nipple to help tighten it, happens to have the hex corners align with the parting line in the mold. You don’t put stress initiators like corners in line with parting lines, it is designing in a failure point.  Arrrggggh. When that splits you will have a flood. Did I say gushing? 

Oh yeah, don’t even think about epoxy or goop or magic pixie dust. Nothing will stick to the nylon the part is made of. 

What to doo in no where Montana on a Friday evening? Couldn’t possibly get the part from Mulanney until sometime late next week. 

Here is the fix. You need one 1/2 male NPT by 3/4 hose barb elbow. This will be found at any farm supply store, commonly used on large spraying equipment. Also one piece of 3/4 tubing about 1.25 inches long, and two hose clamps. Screw the elbow into the sequencing valve where the old exit nipple was. Use the 3/4 tubing and hose clamps to replace the vacuum breaker. Yeah I know, I have removed the water gap required by code, but I am not too worried given the pressurized sequencing valve. I will replace when I get to civilization. After all, what to doo when the potty is inop?

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!!

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.
