I am missing any heater in the air compressor compartment. I had been traveling and stayed for a bit in single digit weather in the south Reno area. I found that the air compressor will not work or it gets enough moisture that it will freeze and not operate. I see a air dryer relay and relay like I would find on a 60-70 GM/Ford for a starter relay with loose wires and holes where something was mounted. 

I was able to place a very small space heater in the compartment and it all worked normal for the rest of my stay, I would like to get it working correctly. 

I can send pictures Monday if it helps.

moved my coach from the shop to the side so we could get ready for our annual bbq party

it was much wetter than it looked and in making the turn around the back of the shop i sunk like a rock

coach was leaning way over and passenger side wheels were buried.

adrian and wade dug it out and we put a big piece of 3/4 inch plywood on the ground in front of the drive wheels

it pulled right out....kinda

now the diff lock light is stuck on.  have to figure that out on monday whe we move back in the shop

thought i would show how i torque my wheels.

i have two ways.    i have a 475 ft lb torque stick to use with my 1" air impact gun.


or i have a  foot long 3/4" torque wrench that goes to 600 ft lbs

here i am using the torque wrench with a 33mm socket and 13" long 1" impact extension and my floor jack

using the floor jack to stabilize the whole thing made it super easy.

Hi I am not a RV expert nor know anything about RV's. I am still looking for an RV repair shop in Arizona and the ones I have contacted don't work on Newell's.

This Newell was my older brother who passed away last Thanksgiving of 2018. From what I understand from his wife, he was fixing the AC, sliding walls that extend out and some kind of compressor. I've provided the pics to the best I could, if anyone has any leads, please let me know. I have to get it out of the home as we have been moving everything out.

I decided to time how long it took from fully raised air suspension to flat.  
After several non-starts it took about 3 hours to be completely out of air with both the air compressors off. It may have been less but that is an approximate number since I was checking every half hour or so.  The 110-volt compressor seems to run about every hour is we don’t use anything inside with the coach raised all the way up.  
Is this about average?  
I know I have a leak in the air valve/solenoid for the Dupree waste valve and am going to order the parts for the rebuild... 
Seems like the ‘Brake’ system lasts longer so maybe the brakes/lines are not leaking down as fast...

I was thinking about using something like the following on the front of the coach mounted to the bottom of the Generator Door (there is a scooped out section where it would fit perfectly). 
The dual lights would give me fog lights and aux lights for out in the middle of nowhere at night... 
What do you guys think?
