Spotted a gorgeous late model Newell this morning , towing a white Jeep . Have no idea of the model , certainly hasn't had many birthdays . Eastbound on Hwy 118/78 in Jasper Al. I'm afraid they were about a mile from a traffic snarl , hope it wasn't too bad .

  Locating and Eliminating Air Leaks

At the 2019 NewellGurus Rally in Foley, AL, Steve Bare gave a presentation on the Locating and Eliminating Leaks in the Newell Air System. Steve goes step by step through the procedure he has developed to systematically locate and eliminate air leaks in his coach. The procedure is time consuming but has resulted in the 12 volt air compressor only running every 12 hours and the 120 volt compressor only running once a day when the air systems are not being used. I had several requests to record and post this session.

To make this information more view-able, I split the presentation into 6 videos. The links to the videos are listed below:

Do you know what coolant you are using?  Remember color means nothing.  Are you using a conventional coolant that requires checking sca's and draining every 2 years or an OAT formula, extended life coolant that requires draining every 6 years?  Remember using the wrong coolant or not maintaining the coolant system is one of the few things that CAN DAMAGE your engine.

Here is the DD approved coolant list.

  Slide Room Lock Pin Hole

- Replies (9)

Guys,
Question for you all....concerning the slide pin receptor hole.  When the slide is deployed and this hole fills up with water after a rain or two.  How does the water drain out of this hole or does it?  If it doesn't drain out...where does it go when you bring the slide in and the lock pin engages?

What I am fighting with is a persistent water leak in the bedroom slide, aft wall area.  I did find a screw that fell into in that receptor some time ago, it was giving me some trouble with the lock pin.  That screw may have poked a hole into the bottom part of it during the lock sequence.  

Thanks,
Steve

  Fresh water leak in rear bath

Hello Gurus. While at the no rally rally last week, my headhunter pump had issues, then worked fine, then had issues again the morning I left.  During the trip home, I was troubleshooting some more and FINALLY discovered a water leak.

It is a decent amount running down into the compartment with the shore power cord and a small amount of dripping on to the tag axle tire. 

There is rust on the roof of the shore power compartment so that tells me it’s been an issue for quite some time.  

Also of note, with the pump running the water pressure from the faucets holds pretty good when using cold water but drops significantly when using the hot water side of faucets.  In the shower it has almost zero water pressure when turned to hot.  So my thinking is that the issue is with the hot water supply and likely in the shower. 

I spent some time turning the valves off to see if I could isolate the issue but that seemed to make no difference. 

Next step I did was to remove what I could under the vanity and on the shower wall to expose the water lines and find the leaker. Everywhere that is visible is bone dry up to the point the water lines go into the sub flooring.

I’m at the point that I think the leak is with a supply line that is in the sub floor which to me is a pretty serious and deep issue.  

Any one ever had anything similar and able to offer any insight?

If not, I’m thinking my next step would be to find a way to get it out to the folks at Newell.  (Need to have one slide out repaired any way due to bad bearings.)

Jeff
