Is there a good/great replacement for the Howard Power Steering - I loved it when it worked but now it does not work any longer. I did a little research and have found mention of a TRW and Safe-T-Plus with the Henderson trim adjust as a replacement but am not familiar with any except the Safe-T-Plus system (we had one on one our previous and may have one on this coach but not sure)... If there is a way to rebuild the HPS then I would be up for that... Thanks!

I wouldn't mind having this coach and convert the rear lounge into a bedroom.

I’ve been sitting, waiting on service (found out today that we need to change out the head gasket so we are going to have that done).  In the mean time I cleaned up the wet bay yesterday and the aqua-hot bay - they look better than when I bought the coach (it was pretty dirty to start).  Next on the list are the battery bays - I ordered POR-15 and it’s sitting at home in Alabama (which doesn’t help me in the least). Ha! just noticed that the overfill tank has been attacked by dirty oily hands! Will fix that this evening when it cools down to 90!

I FINALLY got my 12-volt pressure switch to work (almost) properly this afternoon.  I probably didn’t need to replace the unit but I could not get the pump to turn off.  A quick call to Tom (Thanks, Tom!) and he recommended calling Square D - I could not believe how quickly they answered the call and then solved the problem!  Even to an idiot like myself what he said made sense (after several times!)...  Now I need to know where you guys set the start and stop pressures and the regulator settings. 
I currently have my regulator (the little yellow knob that adjusts the needle on the guage up and down) to 35psi which seems to be enough to run the doors and flushes the toilet (more on that in a moment). I have the pressure switch turning the pump ON at about 30psi and it seems to go OFF at about 42psi.
How SHOULD I have these adjusted please?  
The bigger problem is the toilet - when we flushed the toilet the flap shut and then the air was heard entering the ‘chamber’, then the air kept going.  Maybe we don’t have enough air pressure?  Or maybe it’s too much? 
BTW, this is all being done with the 110-volt pump turned OFF - only the 12-volt pump is ON (and it’s so quiet!)
Thanks! Adrian

With the sewer hose ending in a fitting for going to the sewer drain, I'd like to have an adaptor stored away so that I can hook up to a honey wagon when needed. Can someone recommend an adaptor that looks like the sewer drain and has a twist connector on the other end?

Thanks
Mick

We are boon-docking and I would like to make sure the water coming out of the little spigot we installed by the sink and the refrigerator are safe to consume.  I have one larger blue/clear water filter that looks like it is plumbed to filter the whole coach and also there is a 'water filter' valve on the water manifold in the wet bay.  I also have two EverPure water filters in the wet bay and have changed both the filters.  Can someone tell me from experience if I am going to or get Montezuma's revenge if I drink this water from the tank?  We have refilled the tank several times with city water directly into the tank (not through the filters). 
Please do not reply with 'I never drink from the tanks'...

I have a small drive line vibration that I have been trying to troubleshoot.  I know vibrations are usually u-joints and I have been under the coach many times checking them and greasing them but they always seem ok. Then today while working on other projects I noticed the driveshaft looked "odd". On closer inspection I think the shaft is out of phase. I believe the yokes are supposed to mirror each other, but in the attached picture, and I am hoping someone cam confirm, the yokes are not on the same plane. I added a line to the photo that connects the lower bolts on the u-joints to try and convince myself they are actually out of phase. So here are my questions:

1) Does anyone else think the driveshaft is out of phase?
2) If out of phase can it be unbolted from the transmission (left side) slide off the splines, rotated and slide back on to correct phase?

Hello everyone, I'm switching over from the yachting world to the main land, have had some experience in the past with class A units but they have not lived up to the systems quality of day a Hatteras or Viking sportfishers. So I'm here to learn as much as possible about the quality,ease to maintain, the systems, and how well the Newell drive. As you can probably tell I'm less into the wiz bang flash and more into how their constructed. I look forward to reading all of the posting.

I have 4 Prevost-style caps for the Drive and Tag wheels for sale.  I have no idea what they are worth but have the brackets (once they get removed) and they are in good shape.
