Anyone know the part number or cross-reference for the small (I think they are 90 lbs) springs that hold up the upper overhead console doors across the front of the coach? The number I have is from Austin Hardware (1-800-821-3520) AVSE400V-PS90 30 0974
I’ll call them if I have to but was hoping to get it from Amazon...
Length extended: 11.5”
length collapsed: approx. 7.5” (not sure where the collapsed measurement is taken)
Length of stroke: approx. 4.75”
I think from the numbers that this is a 90 lbs spring... or PS90 may refer to the end pieces...
Orr and Orr had the following which is close: https://truck-hardware.orrorr.com/item/g.../h-9501-90
1 air bag got hole. I need to replace all 8 along with ride height valves. need part number for 2 front which are Firestone, 4 drive which are Goodyear, 2 tag which are Firestone and suggestion on where to purchase. I think they are all what came on the coach #689 a 2004. I have got a track day next weekend and need to get fixed by this Thursday if possible. Thanks for your help
I am currently at Walmart in Amarillo Texas. Just today noticed a pulsing in the braking at a slow speed around 30 mph when coming off the highway. My brakes have always been in great shape and work ok at high speeds. The only different thing done in the last couple days is I spray lubed the what I believe are the control arm bushings because they were squeaking. One other thing to add is i have always had a hammer like sound come from the right front wheel area. This has been checked out extensively by 3 different places over the years even removing the shock and taking it for a ride, still same noise. I now wonder if by lubing the bushing if perhaps that could have somehow quickened the control arm bushing problem if in-fact there may be a problem there. Just guessing at this point. I don't remember anyone looking at the control arm bushings but they may have. The noise is a concerning noise but seeing as no one has been able to find the problem I figure I wouldn't worry about it. So There is my challenge for our trip back to New England. Tomorrow we will be stopping in Miami Ok for the pm so could have Newell look at it Monday.
we have never stayed where it was cold and run the aquahot for extended periods of time for heating.
we are in cove fort, utah serving as missionaries for our church until october of this year. if any of you travel on I-15 in southern utah, stop by and see us. the fort is about a mile off of the freeway and sees 80,000 visitors each year.
we have had the coach here for a week now. several nites it has been in the 25 degree range. we kept the aquahot on electric and the aquahot temp would get down into the 190 degree range, but still keep the coach warm and toasty. when we get up, the temp is over 200 and soon around 220's. no problem taking showers without putting it into diesel mode.
very happy on how well it is working. more snow coming this week and mid 20's temps.
i did a full aquahot service before we left arizona, but not sure i will need to use it much in diesel mode other than to fire it up once a month or so.
thanks for all the advice from rudy.

Upon leveling my coach I heard a leak coming from the front left side near tire
The whole coach slowly drops
Would you think it's a connection that goes to all the bags..or ????
I have a desk that I can bring to the rally if anyone is interested
Does anyone have a lead on where to buy replacement latches for the radiator/power cable door, engine battery door etc?
One arm is broken and its just pot metal. So I stole one from a "2" latch door and installed it on the radiator door for now.
My internet searches are coming up with a variety that do not match the original ones. I have the type where your thumb goes on the key hole and the release pops for the arm to lift away on the back side
I have a 15KW PowerTech genset with 1008 hrs. I've clocked 100 hrs since last owners Oil change. I took out 5.5 quarts and reinstalled 5.5 with a filter change. The Manual calls for 8.5 quarts with a filter change. I just got off the phone with PowerTech support and they tell me that All Newells ended up with 5.5 quart oil pans.
Has anyone had a longevity problem with their PowerTech Gen set ?
I like my Oil & filter changes at 100 hrs. So with clean oil, air and fuel, I should get 15,000 to 20,000 hrs shouldn't I ?
Being a gear head, I kinda want the 8.5 quart system, but PowerTech says a larger oil pan isn't available for a Newell install.
Thoughts .....?
Any hint where I can find the regulator for the step cover? Need to up the pressure, will not close or open without an assist.
We got home on Sunday late afternoon, this years trip was to Skidaway Island, GA, our first trip with just our youngest child, the two older kids are both in college.
A very nice state park, big pull though sites with water and sewer, very scenic with big oak trees and Spanish moss.
I had my first tire blowout on the way down Saturday night about 85 miles north of Savannah, sounded like a bomb going off, drivers steer tire was shredded, the coach handled it great; it was easy to get pulled over and stopped from 70 mph. I had a spare and tools, but the breaker bar I had wasn’t enough to loosen the lugs. A great guy from the GA DOT sponsored auto road side assistance service helped out with a 3’ breaker bar (and gave it to me when he left). I bought a new set of six tires before leaving Savannah. My tires were 10 years old (I know) I keep them covered and inspect them carefully before every trip, the rears just started to show weather check this spring, the fronts still looked perfect. I figured this was going to be the last year on them anyway.
Traffic on this trip was worse than any previous spring break trips, Atlanta was especially painful, seems to be getting progressively heavier the farther east we go, it easily added several hours to the drive both ways; we were thinking about Edisto Island South Carolina next year but I may rethink that and go back west towards Louisiana instead.
We came back through South Carolina and the Smoky Mountains, the coach held 40mph or better in the hills, no heat issues except when going up the state park campground road at Norris Dam, Rocky Top , TN. First and second gear hill climb at heavy throttle ran the temp up to 200 by the time we made it to our site. We spent 2 nights here, interesting little town and a nice park.
Good trip overall, would have been great without the hours of traffic headaches.
Back home and back to work.
