Has anyone had to do this? We need to pull in the slide an extra 2 inches to replace the seal. Anyone that has done that to give direction on what to unhook the ram stop to bring it in further? Call 920-716-7248.

I have coach 347 and after a recent trip, when checking out my coach, I found that neither water pump would turn on.  I checked the fuses (O.K.).  The rocker switch is working correctly.  I spoke to the factory and after ruling out a couple of things the tech suggested a loose ground or wire.  Everything I reviewed checked out O.K.  The thought occurred to me that since my water level was low, that there may be a shutdown mechanism in the system that would disallow the water pumps from turning on.  Does anyone know if this is the case?

Bendix part #275707N appears to be the original d-2 governor on the DD series 60 engine.  It has a pressure range of 105 psi to 125 psi.

There are many other ones manufactured by companies other than Bendix.  Such as:

https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MBI275491RX

https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/bra...30/2543649

There are many more and any truck repair shop should be able to provide one. 

Here is an article on adjusting the air governor:

There are several YouTube videos on how to change one, including the one Mike Ginn posted:

Tip:  When changing one on a Newell you have to shut off all air compressor(s) and drain all the air from the supply system.  When the "supply" gauge on your dash reads zero you are good to start the replacement.

Hope this helps someone.............................................

After driving 360 miles today we stopped at a roadside RV park in Glendo WY (middle of nowhere). I leveled the coach with slides in as we were leaving early tomorrow morning. After about an hour the level system kicked on the 120v air compressor. I decided to start the engine and go back to travel mode and use that overnight. The problem was that the air system would not build above 90 psi. I confirmed that I could not hear air leaks with and without engine running. After conversations with Tom, Bill, and Steve. We decided it was the governor, or at least that was a $20 part and easy to install. 30 miles away was O’REILLYS that had the part. I tried my best to match the plugged and 2 airline holes. The old governor has blue cap like in very detailed picture, and the new governor has the black cap. All holes on both match.

After new install I now have the opposite problem. The governor is not exhausting by 135psi when I shut off the engine. Watching videos I suspect that the exhaust port plastic filter cover that I moved from old to new is the culprit, but don’t know and it is too late to test. The video says that port should be open but he has seen dust covers and filters in some brands. So, I will test with the exhaust port clear first thing in the morning.

The park is full and we are supposed to vacate tomorrow, so I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Questions:
1. What is max safe pressure to allow it to go before I risk blowing something?
2. If exhaust port is not the fix, there is an adjustment screw I can try but it should have been set by the factory. Should I go buy another? NAPA opens at 7am.
3. Other ideas?

Thanks to Tom, Bill, and Steve for consultation today!

Hi all, 
I own coach 272 and had previously put her up for sale and then backed out as i have had no luck finding my next coach and am spoiled to newell quality. I need a handicap accessible coach with at least two slides and 2003 or older as thats probably all we can afford. My wife Amy is in a wheelchair and plays tennis and is on the usa Paraolympic badminton team. I had parked beside a newell a few years ago next to the ideal coach and had wished i had gotten the owners name in case he ever wanted to sell. It had the uvl lift underneath the entry door that was the perfect set up for us as amy is very independent. We are going to be spending more time in the coach and really need a couple of slides so if anybody has a lead it would be greatly appreciatedSmile thanks for your time,
