About 2 weeks ago I noticed it was taking way longer than normal for the engine to shut down when I press the momentary engine stop switch.  Normal being 2-3 seconds.  This is an infrequent issue, but the last time it happened it would not shut down after several attempts. I had to finally go to the back panel to shut it down,  and even then it took 20 seconds.  Today I have shut the engine down  4 times and no issue.  Any ideas? How do I troubleshoot this issue?

For the last week or so, the rear of the coach has been a bit low.    Not sure whether it happened gradually or all at once.   

Today, I started the engine, brought the coach to travel height, then leveled and shut down.    Air pressure was 120 throughout.     Then, about a half hour after the reset, a loud air release came from the rear.    I opened the right side engine access where is was happening but couldn't pinpoint the source before it abruptly stopped releasing on its own.   Total release time was maybe 45 seconds. 

Now the rear is a little low again.    I suspect this happened before when I wasn't around.    Air pressure is still at 120.     Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Thanks!
Chuck

Can anyone recommend a good service center or mobile technician to work on my 2001, especially the HWH slide out systems.
I am in Franklin NC, in the SW corner of the state
Thanks

1991 coach 262.  I have a leaky wheel bearing seal on the drive axle. Does anyone have part # info on the bearings and seals .   Tom

A number of Newells were powered by Cummins ISX-650, which are now known to have a head design issue that causes the #6 cylinder to fail - sometimes catastrophically, when the exhaust valve disintegrates.    There is a re-designed head that eliminates this issue - and it's far cheaper to upgrade than be faced with a complete rebuild.

Cummins/Downey - CA was supposedly working on a quote to do this upgrade...but after 2+ weeks, I reached out to Newell (who have seen several coaches go through this) who pointed me to  Cummins, Joplin MO ~ where Newell brings their coaches.  John Mecey had the quote back to me in just a few hours, was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the issue and how this would be done in a Newell.  Best yet, compared to other coaches using this engine, Newells engineering/design made this much cheaper, because the access is so much easier.

See attached quote we just received...it's one of the few times I've ever smiled at a $20k quote (after seeing $25 ~ 35k others have paid!) - and John says this includes both camshafts being replaced, which may not be required!

I'm curious how many other Newells with ISX-650 and 600 engines have failed due to this...

ok got an easy one for everybody
in my 1995 coach i have a soap dispenser
at each sink..after looking at the underside all i have on each one
is a short tube sticking downward..im sure there might have been another 
tube connected to that leading into a bottle of soap but im not really sure
plus was the bottle strapped in or just set in the lower cabinet 
thanks

Rhonda and I will be at Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort in Spearfish SD between June 18 and July 1, 2021. We invite any of the guru family to join us during that time. 

I am just putting this out there early, because the RV reservations are nuts these days, and will be even tighter next year. The already tight campground capacity situation has been accelerated as families are using RV travel as a safer vacation alternative. I am saying out loud that if you think you may want to join us, you may want to make reservations soon. The week after, the place is already sold out for an Entegra rally. 

Elkhorn is a VERY nice campground, with lots of interesting places and activities within easy day trips.

We are in site 86.

When we purchased 746 we noticed that the couch was not comfy at all, so I contacted Villa here in California and explained that I was having to use 2x6 to keep from falling into the abyss of the couch sleeper.

The tiny mattress was well pretty much good for nothing, so we ordered a new frame and the dual mattress with air pillow top.

This was a job that took about 2.5 -3 hours doing by myself. If your sleeper is tired I suggest giving them a call. What a difference it makes.

I actually enjoy sitting and watching TV now, well not too much cause there is always something to do. Next job is up
