Here’s what happened..... I was starting to cook dinner using two different electrical appliances, one plugged into outlet over kitchen counter, and one plugged into outlet under dinette....all was well for about 5-6 min., and then I turned on the fan over the pantry....not sure that’s what did it ,but shortly thereafter, the outlets with the appliances (pluggged into power strips) stopped....and from there, as my husband started trying things.....there are no circuit breakers for the kitchen or the GFCI outlets apparently!  He tried to reset the one GFCI outlet that has those little buttons, and not one would pop.  He went outside to check our pedestal, and turns out that we blew 1/2 of it  instead of the 220 we had only 120, and he had to change our cord to the next pedestal and call the manager!  Anyway, we have no idea what the problem is, where it could be or how to fix it.  Every outlet on the passenger side of the coach is out, and then the one at the driver’s seat, and both under the dinette.  We have 7 outlets that won’t work, and only one is not a GFI.  Anyone have any ideas?  

Gads, how bad is this???

Could it be possible to create a specific area on the web sight that we can upload or download manuals for reference material.  I have several manuals that I have in PDF format that would be very helpful to Newell owners. I think it would be great to create a sight specific area for such information to be shared. This could be the best time saving, information sharing that would be very helpful to all owners.

Thanks,

I saw a post about awnings on Big rig rv . Someone commented that their automatic awning retracted during a rainstorm when they really needed it. Others liked the electric awning because of the absence of support arms. I'm interested in comments Pro/con about different awning types.

We have been at an RV park for the last three weeks, hooked up to shore power. Got a fault and temperature alarm on the inverter panel today. Opened the house battery bay and one battery is hot and bubbling. The other five batteries are cool to the touch. How can I disconnect the house batteries to let this cool down enough to check/add distilled water?
Are the house batteries necessary if using shore power?
Just got the coach out of repair for major electrical issues before coming to this park...
I know this may have been addressed in other threads, but I have not found it yet and don't want to take too much time. Any help would be appreciated.

Found this strap wrench alternative in a video and thought it was a great idea....never seen it done before.    

I'm going to try and explain what is going on with my 120 air system. 

So over the course of 5 days or so , my 120 air gauge has registered zero twice but the pump is still running and not building air. Of course I cant open the door except when I release the emergency valve. As soon as  I start the engine the 120 air gauge immediately start working and the pump runs until it hit 122 psi then shuts off like normal.

I have found two medium leaks that are making the pump run every 16 18 minutes, I know I need to fix these but I didn't think it would cause the issue I am seeing Any ideas??

i was getting some popping noises when my aquahot was on electric only.  kinda like when an element is going bad on a house hot water heater.  

so i bought two new elements from roger berke.   a 120v and 240v.  

with some guidance from rudy, i did the job.

i bought a 12v transfer pump from harborfreight.  and two sockets for the hot water heater.  one is a 1 1/2" impact socket that i had machined so there was no taper on the socket.  since the element nut is so slim, a regular socket will not catch enough on it.  i also bought a camco rv water heater element socket which is not impact worthy but served a purpose i discuss later.  

first i took the burner completely out.  disconnected the fuel lines at the burner as that was the easiest.  you have to take the 4 wires that plug onto the two thermostats above the burner to pull those 4 wires out of the housing as they are attached to the burner.  take a picture of how they are connected.  

then i drained the coolant out the drain hose under the coach.  used a storage bin and then pumped the coolant out into 4 five gallon buckets.  it drains fast and the pump is really fast.  

then took the covers off the elements.  they are both at the bottom.  one at the front and one at the rear.  the front one i just put my 1/2" impact gun on it and it spun right out after a number of hard impacts.  the back element is the 240v one and on mine was a real pain in the neck.  the plumbing back there makes it so i could hardly get my fat hands in there.  i put the impact socket on it with a short extension and used a breaker bar and was able to get it out with some effort.  

replaced the front 120v element was easy.  the back one was not.  it is much longer and heavier and i had to have some way of holding it level to get the threads to start.  so i used the camco socket and put a couple of washers in it, then a couple of pieces of tshirt cloth and wedged the element in it enough to hold it so i could used the socket for leverage.  with a bunch of tries i finally got it.  

then buttoned it all back up and was done.  have not fired it up yet but sure it will be fine. 

the elements ohmed out fine and didnt look very corroded.  the 120v one more than the 240v one.  

i also used my 20mp boroscope and examined inside the tank.  looked pretty clean.

i used leatherique to condition and clean the seats in my 99.  i did the driver, passenger and the ekhorn recliner.  

today i used the cleaner after letting the rejuevenator sit for a few days.  

after i wiped down the drivers seat i heard a buzzing.  i put my hand on the seat itself and it was vibrating.  i thought maybe the air seat had sprung a leak but that wasnt it.  i was really puzzled.

i could feel the whole seat vibrating......

i put my hand in the pocket in the back of the seat and pulled out a massage controller.  i had turned it on when i wiped it down.  it has different massage modes and heat.  pretty slick.  so does the passenger seat.   

wish my 02 had these fancy seats.....ha

He all I am looking for a reset switch for the tank heater, I have an error code saying the bay is freezing, I have checked for a fuse but cant locate it. My kick panel heater all had to be reset to work.

TIA
