Good Day Everyone 
I am looking for a 35ft to 40ft Newell to bring back to the UK from around late 60s to 1980ish .
Bit of history as I am a new guy to the gurus , I am an engineer starting my time on racing cars first at Chevron and later Lotus then moving on to heavy trucks . I live in New Brighton which is near Liverpool . I have purchased a fifth wheel trailer from Wisconsin a few years ago and a couple of Harleys . I am not really bothered about the condition or even if There is no interior so good condition or rough .
I appreciate your time in reading this and hope you all have a great weekend 
Phil D

My Jeep Wrangler has a 3.5” lift and 37” tires so it sits really high off the ground.  The problem is that when towing my towbar is at about a 45degree tilt rather than level to the ground like it should be.  Does anyone know of a hitch that would be tall enough (probably 2 foot tall!) that would work for this? I have a hitch now that is about a foot tall but it needs more help... of course the engine door would not open once I put such a tall hitch on...

Coach 410, 1995. Rockwell ABS Disc. Uneven wear on front pads noticed when the ds wheel bearing replaced. Later had shop inspect. Slide pins were sticking on ds. Both sides: Replaced brake pads (Air Disc Brake Pads D268- #3832, Van Horn Truck Parts), turned rotors, cleaned and lubricated slide pins. 

Yea. Ready to go. Headed to Nova Scotia from Abilene. Terrible brakes. The upside is that it reminds you to look farther down the road, keep Jake ready and ensure that your personal gastrointestinal evacuation is up to date.

Hard stop (ok, Attempt at hard stop) required huge brake pedal pressure. Locked up tag disk. Still missed the turn, yet had an opportunity to replace tag tires due to huge flat spots. 

After 5,000 or so miles, back in Abilene. Brakes getting less effective. Had to go to Houston. Great practice driving in heavy traffic with small amounts of braking. PS, front began providing all the work and producing stink bombs and heat to indicate their efforts. DS taking a break.

Now my request: The Rockwell ABS discs, as described by my mechanic, utilize a standard brake air piston actuator, then through a concentric arm (similar to drum actuators) push on an acme screw to transmit pressure to the brake pads. Supposedly, this was an older approach utilized on heavy aircraft brakes. 

In other words, these do not utilize air caliper assemblies. 

I am taking in for another inspection, Monday. 

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

There is air coming out of this when I turn on my 110v compressor (probably my 12-volt too but didn’t test it).  It looks like the air is coming out of the nut/outlet nearest the outside of the coach (left side?).

Just listed...2013 45' 8", front entry, quad slide, island bed, Cummins engine. Ad says 1.5 baths, but I don't see a rear toilet in images or on floor plan. Most of the island bed configurations appear to have a split bath with shower and sink in rear and toilet located mid - coach. #1469 appears to be of that layout, and not 1.5 baths.

$777,777
