Can anyone tell me where the works for the headboard cover is located?  When I press the switch I hear a motor, but I can't tell where it's coming from.

I have used this product for over five years.  This product will keep your leather soft & supple.  This is not a repair product, but a maintenance product.

Hi all! Thank you for letting us non-Newell owners join! We just sold our 99 Foretravel and have been on the fence about purchasing another Foretravel or considering buying a Newell. After Grandpa's "Foretravel vs. Newell" thread (and your responses) I am looking hard at Newell but would be most interested in other insightful articles/comments about Newells. Our challenge is that I think we need one with a steerable tag because of the length of the coach and the already tight turns required on our property but that may break our budget... Does Newell have good build years and less desirable build years (like Foretravel)? Because Newells are all custom builds, how did you determine fair value when purchasing your coach? Thanks very much for your help. Perhaps this should be in another thread but I am not very good at using forums. I apologize in advance for my online ignorance...

I just wanted to give a heads up to anyone traveling in the Ft. Wayne, Indiana area, who might need service on their Allison Transmission. I won't bore you with the details but my recent experience with the local authorized Allison Service Center, Clark Power, was disappointing, to say the least. I'm not sure how they train their staff at other locations but the ones in Ft. Wayne are far from being $140 per hour professional Techs. FYI: They are also a DD authorized center and they couldn't even give me a DDEC read out. Hope all is well with all the Gurus.

Gurus,

On the way home from the rally I noticed that my engine was running a few degrees warmer than usual.  When I got home, I remembered to look at the radiator fan.  It was not spinning.  Hmmm.  I called a fellow guru and he suggested that I unplug the relay for the hydraulic fan.  (Located near radiator fan on bottom left looking towards the front of coach).  

Today, when I did that test with engine running, the fan went from not turning at all to turning at full speed.  Plugging the relay back turned the radiator fan off.

I then tested my dash AC that got fixed at the rally.  Now my radiator fan ran at about half speed.  

So far so good, but then something weird happened.

I turned the dash AC off, and expected the fan to turn off again.  But it continued to run at the slow speed.  Engine coolant temperature was not yet even warm (125F).

I turned the engine off, and then restarted.  Now the fan turns at the slow speed.

Questions:  Should it concern me that sometimes my radiator fan runs slowly and other times it does not run at all?  Could this be a sign of a radiator hydraulic motor getting ready to fail?  

Apparently the radiator fan motor has multiple speeds....what controls the speed?  Clearly if I unplug the relay, it goes to full speed, but what tells it to run a slow speed?

Cheers,
bill

I was wondering what monitors for which others might set alerts. The obvious one to me when I first set up Silveleaf was for coolant temp. I've added an audible for battery voltage after my belts shredded due to the (new!) A/C compressor locking up.

Just wondering what others are doing here for proactive alerting.
