New show coach at Barrett Jackson.

Does anyone know the value in having the fuel water separators. One of mine is leaking and I have read lots of issues with them leaking.  I am debating on just removing them completely (as opposed to upgrading them) as I understand the newer coaches don’t even have them.  

Does anyone know why they might be needed or can I just remove them?

Is is advisable to leave the converter on at all times or when should I switch it off?  I have a switch by the breakers to turn converter on and off but am not sure why or when I would want to do that. 

I was told this converter has been given the name of a “Battery Boiler” so maybe that has something to do with it. 

I do not see a need to replace converter since it is working but not sure I want to risk killing batteries if that is the case. 

Also it was suggested I install a charger that uses house batteries to charge engine batteries to eliminate the need to merge batteries for charging.  Thanks Tom I do like this idea.

Looking at maybe doing business with them. Does anyone have personal experience with this company?

Good, bad etc

FYI
We will be posting information on 443 later. My wife will not drive a 45 ft coach so we will be downsizing to a unit she is comfortable with.


Here is Craiglist listing lincoln.craigslist.org/rvs/d/beaver-crossing-newell-1997-class-45-ft/7054851287.html

We have developed a leak coming out of the Raritan hot water heater.  The foam insulation blanket is completely water logged. I  popped out the plastic hole cover on the top of the unit and can feel something like a fitting with my finger. Not sure what this is. Was thinking maybe it is the anode protection rod.  Was wondering if anyone else has had this kind of issue.  Looking for any advice.  Hate to just spend +/- 1K for new water heater if it might be something I can tighten / replace or fix myself a lot cheaper.

     Is this the merge solenoid?  In one of bedroom closets on 1984 Newell. I did switch the merge switch at dash between merge and off and continued to buzz. So I really have no idea what it is or why it might be buzzing.

    Ok another newbie question.  I have been continuing to trouble shoot my electrical problem and discovered I have power from shoreline into this electrical box in the electrical bay but there is no power on the opposite side of the bar to the bus.   I have checked screws and all are tight, also checked two side fuses (not sure there purpose) and they are new. Is there more to this box then I think or why might the power not be crossing it???

Not a Newell but,  found this Foretravel and thought I would pass it on as it looks like a nice one....https://hattiesburg.craigslist.org/rvs/d/picayune-foretravel-grandvilla-diesel/7051493685.html
