This might be of interest since most of you guys have Microphor toilets.  Read this on the Foretravel forum:

I have several Issues with my LF-220, and just got off the Phone with Mullaney & Associates, LLC, and they are soon disconnecting their Toll Free Number, but was able to contact them on their Normal Number, of - (856)-956-1299, listed on their website!  After explaining my several Issues, Anna-Marie, not only went through and help me troubleshoot, but fully explained each part's purpose, and why I need to troubleshoot them!  Probably a 10 for 10 in service, that I can say!  That, as we all know is lacking in the RV Industry!!! Here is their website, BTW  [url=https://mullaney-associates.com/about-us/][/url]

So, I ordered 3 Parts from them, but was informed that since Microphor has been bought out by WABTEC, and they are not very Customer Friendly, nor wish to support older model Products!  So, I asked her to Include any and all things she recommended having, Kits and Bits, and ED @ WABTEC will be contacted for the rest!  It seems they are letting their Retail Suppliers down, and hanging them out to dry!  While that is unfortunate, her counterpart, Ed, can assist on parts, for as long as they decide to source them, as a Company! He is a Bit overwhelmed right now, so patience is required to contact him, currently! His Direct Company Number is 707-598-6216.

You gotta love the members of this gang. This forum operates like no other that I subscribe too. The respect the members demonstrate, and the way they handle differences of opinion is stellar. I make mistakes. Recently I posted some info that simply was incorrect. I got confuseded in identifying some terminal numbers. I was very gently asked to look at the situation. I liked that. First, we don't want wrong info out there, and second it was done in a nonconfontational way.  On other forums, unfortunately, there seems to be a great deal of sniping and one upmanship when it comes to technical accuracy. You can see the egos and chest beating. We don't have that here, and it makes it easy to participate in the forum. It wasn't the first time I have been corrected here, and it won't be the last. 

I just think it's important from time to time to recognize what is good in the world. It's easy to visit this forum and conclude that Newells are nothing but problems. We really don't spend much time discussing things that don't go wrong. 

Looks we are going to get some new folks at Bella Terra this year. I can't wait to meet them, and I can't wait to see the other gurus too.

Greetings to the Newell Gurus community.  My membership to this group is less than a week old and I have loved reading the many interesting threads.  The reason I joined is that my brother and myself are soon to become the new owners of coach 674 (2003 quad slide).  It was my dad's coach, but he passed away suddenly in mid-December and our families have been contemplating whether to sell the coach or keep it.  My brother is not really interested in keeping it as his preferred recreation are boats vs. RV's.  As you can imagine, many factors will influence the final decision but I wanted to ask a few questions to current owners to address some of my concerns related to such a big rig.  I currently have a 1999 40' Fleetwood American Tradition for about 10 years now and my family loves the many trips we enjoy in it (me, the wife, three sons ages 16, 14, & 8).  We use it at least 8-10 times per year when they are out of school!

Questions/concerns:  

• While only 5' longer, the 45' Newell is considerably larger and I'm concerned it's too big for many rv parks, etc.  Has any one found this to be an issue? 
  

• Systems and maintenance: I am used to being able to trouble shoot and fix the majority of issues on the Fleetwood and I'm concerned the Newell will be more complex and numerous...am I going to be overwhelmed with maintaining them or be forced to use outside repair providers?
  
• Speaking of outside maintenance, what is the closest place to get a Newell worked on in East TN (near Knoxville)?
  
• The floor plan is extremely room with the slides extended, but the rear bath / crawling over the bed while traveling may be an issue for my passengers on long trips.
  
• My final comment is that Newell's seem a bit undervalued in the market place.  In my opinion, the price we would be paid does not justify the quality of the coach. 
  

Anyway, I look forward to any feedback and I am learning more and more about the Newell coaches and the community every time I visit this site.

The 1st Annual Midwest No Rally Rally will be held at Petoskey RV Resort on July 25 through July 31, 2019.  I know it is snowing and very cold this winter in the midwest, but this is a great time to plan a summer get away.  The average temperature in Petoskey during this period is 76 & 59, so this will be a great way to beat the heat!  The resort is located on the shores of Lake Michigan with lots of activities to partake in.

The No Rally Rallys focus on informal socializing with fellow Newell owners.  If you haven't attended a No Rally Rally come on down to Bella Terra RV Resort from May 1-15th and see first hand how much fun and "friends helping friends" we have.

There is no cost for the rally itself.  You only pay for your campsite which you book yourself.  The resort gets very full in the summer so make your reservation early.

hi all,

i took these pictures today of two different gas stations.  the hand pump one was empty, but i saw another just like it clear up in the mountains that someone was filling a scooter with.  you will have to look at all the pictures to find the ones of gas pumps.   ha

the second one was a bit more modern, but in a kinda hard place to get at and you had to avoid the livestock.

btw, these are in the mountains an hour and a half north of chiang mai thailand.  darlene and i are on a month vacation in asia.  singapore, thailand and bali and then back to singapore again and home.  

had an awesome day doing a 4x4 back trails of the mountains on horrible trails in a beat up old toyota 4x4 suv.  it crept and groaned and squeeked but made it everywhere.  we spent hours in first and second gear.  we went from sea level to about 5000 feet. 

the highlight of the day was a long trail drive to a hill people village that tourists dont go to.  we never saw another tourist on the trail, at the village or on the return route a different way.  we visited a school of young kids and passed out cookies to them.  it was so cool to see how appreciative they were.

we really have it good.  

i also posted a picture of the coolest decorated bus i have seen in asia.

So today in Quartzsite we  saw a Newell for sale.  I think it's a 2000.  It's in a ParknSale lot.  There was no one there to talk but the coach was open so we walked through.  It's in need of some TLC but not too bad.  Anyone know anything about it's history?

I have fielded two events this week about this issue. So I am posting in a new thread to help find the info in a search engine. 

Here is the situation. The thermostat, when it calls for heat, puts out a 12v positive signal. The Aquahot unit, wants ground signal to turn on one of the zones. 

This is accomplished in a rather clever way. If you have this setup, you will find a couple of automotive style relays attached very close to the terminal strip on the Aquahot. The purpose of those relays is to turn the 12V positive from the thermostat into a ground signal for the zone on the Aquahot. 

How does this magic happen?

   

(Corrected version)

The 12V positive signal from the thermostat is fed into terminal 85. Terminal 86 is grounded to the ground lug on the Aquahot. When 12 v is applied the relay closes. 

When the relay closes, terminals 30 and 87 now make contact. Terminal 87 is also connected to the ground lug on the Aquahot. Terminal 30 is connected to the input terminal on the Aquahot strip that activated the zones. When the relay closes, there is now a ground pathway from the terminal strip to ground. And the Aquahot zone, pumps and fans should activate. 

If you suspect a problem, the easy diagnostic looks like this. Activate the heat at the thermostat. Wait three minutes or so for the Tstat to turn on. Measure the voltage at terminal 85. It should read 12v positive. If it does not either there is a problem in the wiring or the thermostat. 

If you have 12 positive at the terminal 85, but still no pump running, then make a jumper and run it from the Aquahot terminal strip terminal for the zone you are working on to GROUND. Remember the AH wants a ground signal. If the pump activates, you likely have a bad relay.
