Hello Gurus,

We’re getting ready for our first “big” trip in 744. Still have a few minor issues to address but things are holding together however...

The original 2005 era KVH in motion dish has crapped out. Only received SD signals anyways and I have converted all TVs to HD. 

Apparently my new Directv receivers don’t get HD programming while moving so I’m going to go all new with Dish service and a matching in motion antenna (I’ll be selling my Directv receivers if anyone wants a couple of new ones). 

 Any recommendations on a new in motion satellite antenna that can drive two Dish receivers. 

Should be a simple internet research project but Google seems to be comprised of reviews which are disguised as Ads for retailers. 

Any help is appreciated... Kristi will want to watch tv while I drive...

Symptoms;
Engine compressor causing Air dryer to constantly blow off after it hits 120psi. pst,pst,pst,pst. very rapidly.
it builds pressure fine and holds pressure, but once to 120 (+/-) it continually releases until the engine is shut down.

How to diagnose.
On mine, the D2 governor is located behind the air dryer, inboard of the left rear tag wheel. it has a 2 lines 1/4" lines attached.  One line comes from the primary tank, the goes back to the compressor. If you remove the 1/4" line at the compressor at start up, and the chassis has no air built up yet, the line will not have air coming out of it. As the system build pressure and the governor recognizes 120psi, it will start to release air, back into the compressor into the unloading valve. This valve uses air to open the compressors valves so that it, in a sense, free spins or does not build pressure until a pressure drop to 90 ( or what ever your governor is set at) is recognized at the governor. 

Repair
The Unloading valve is on top rear center of my Bendix compressor with 2 small Torx bolts holding it down the cover. Its is qn upper plunger inside of a larger plunger, all with about 4-5 O rings
My unloader valve had a bad O ring and leaking internally therefore it was not moving correctly, therefore, allowing the compressor to run all the time and making (forcing) the air dryer to open its relief/pop off valve to control the pressure.

I went into CAT with my Bendix air compressor part numbers, prepared to get my exact part. I was told, I was better off giving them my engine serial number. For that reason, I do not offer you my part number since it correlates directly to your engine.  About $120 and 1/2 hour and I was back to running normal.

I also watch several good YouTube Video's using the search "unloading valve", how to install, ect.

I'm not an expert, but this is my best understanding. please feel free to add or correct this post.
Hope this helps somebody.

All,
Anybody going to be at Newell the week of 9/9? Getting some service done.

Any recommendations for Yuma area???

i get the feeling that a number of you are hot rodders or classic car guys as well..   i a little off the newell topics but thought i would share my experience.

i have a 1940 ford fordor deluxe that is basically a 40 ford body on a modern chassis and drive train.  nonetheless it is titled as a 40 ford.

i have had hagerty insurance the last two years.  it is up for renewal and was about 550 for a year.  that is high liability coverages 0 deductible etc.  

i decided to shop around and found basically the same coverage for 250 bucks a year from heacockclassic insurance.   

if any of you have any experiences where you have gotten good coverage from another company for reasonable rates please let me know.

i dont drive it much and plan on doing more with it this winter

later

Im looking for replacements for the 2 4x6” reflectors on the back of my Newell. Does anybody have a source?

Just found this 2007 Quad slide listed as incoming at PCG. No coach number or VIN listed, so, Michael, if you recognize the coach, please feel free to edit the subject. Only a few interior pics, so unknown BR/Bath configuration. Price not given, either.
Hmmm...I couldn't have provided less info, could I?

I would like to get under my 1984 35' Newell Classic and examine the air holding tanks and valves/hoses in front of the front axle (looking for leaks). How do I do that safely? Is there some specific place I should place bottle jacks on each side?
