Where does one find the axle weight ratings for their coach? I assume there is a placard or something somewhere that lists what they are. I weighed the coach and want to know where I sit in regard to the gross weight limits.

The well know floor expert, Ernie Eckberg has an opening right now to install a wood floor. We had to cancel our slot.

Coach 787
Generator will not engaga the switch to power the coach.
It is producing 240 volts at the breakers at the Generator. 
Shore power works fine and engages 
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Coach 1618-
Did not see a thread- hopefully helps someone else with these issues.  Just finished emergency trip to Miami.  Coach lost all 4 roof airs on shore power- if doing hard reset it would work for 24 hours or so but been mostly running on generator.  Coach was showing slow function with intrepid screens but they seemed to work.  A/c showing on when looking at intrepid screen.  There is a Pecan router in electrical bay they thought may have gone bad which is $2400 in parts- it ended up being okay.  They added a resister in electrical bay, and found network was out of balance.  They had to hook a laptop to coach in electrical bay and rebalance network.  They then found a rsi board went bad and had to be replaced.  This all seems to have fixed the issue.

I was in Miami about month ago for an emergency repair on aux air compressors.  One kept cycling non stop and burned up.  They had to replace the compressor but found another control board burned up that was triggering the compressor to fun all the time.  I asked about this on the second trip.  They thought the network being out of alignment could be associated with that.

They claim both issues are very very rare and rare to have both close together.  All seems to be fine now- hope it helps someone else.

I have Coach # 145 and am going through a few things trying to get it back on the road after sitting for few years before I got it. Basically in pretty good shape. My question for this time is the leveling suspension works fine, but when I flip the switch to road suspension the leveling cuts off like it's supposed to but the road leveling doesn't come on. Where do I look first. No apparent leaks.
Thanks

I need to tighten v belt, thinking I could get to it from opposite bay- plastic wall about 8- 10 feet long riveted. even if I drillm out rivets there maybe a metal firewall. how does one tighten belt or even replace alternator/water pump?

The existing water heater is the one with the heat exchanger in it. Thinking to put a regular hot water heater n bypass the exchanger. 

I'm curious what other people have been doing... with regards to up this age of coach and these water heaters.

If I take if I disconnect the heat exchanger hoses from the hot water heater. Am I gonna get coolant everywhere. Or is drained  back in the coolant tank? 

How much do I need to manage that

Hello Gurus! My wife and I are considering purchasing a 2004 Newell Coach in Wichita, KS but would like to have a full inspection before proceeding. It has 12 year old tires, so we are very hesitant to test drive it, let alone take it to Miami, OK for full service. Can anyone suggest A qualified individual/business near Wichita who could to do a thorough on-site inspection? 

Thanks for any suggestions or recommendations!

Fuel level says 60 gallon. Drove several miles from my house, stopped on a 5 degree hill pointed down. Coach ran when I put in several ounces into davco filter then quit.  Any thoughts if pickup tube is uncovered from the slope? Seems odd you can't drive with 60 gallons. Any suggestions welcome.
