Gang,

Since the rally announcement thread has gotten pretty long I thought I would start a new thread to help everyone here find out what is going on onsite.

First of all....WELCOME!!!  I think this rally should be one of the biggest yet....and although we don't plan very much, we always find a lot to do.  

Please make an effort to introduce yourselves to each other and don't hesitate to post to this thread any ideas for get-togethers and show and tells.  

When you arrive please tell us what lot you are in.  (The lot numbering is kinda weird so find the number from the attached map).

   

Bill Johnson - Lot 220 (Two dogs...Roro and making his first rally appearance...Maddux)  Feel free to stop by anytime.

We are in Jackson California. As we're leaving the RV park I noticed I have low air pressure. Now the brakes seem to be set coach won't move. Does anyone know of any easy checks or fixes I should check as I wait for help? This is a 1974 Newell with the 1160 cat Allison Transmission.

Hello All,

The first major purchase my wife (Lisa) and I made after getting married 38+ years ago was a travel trailer, followed soon by a Winnebago motorhome.  We have been motorhome owners for over 35 years with everything from a Fleetwood Tioga Class C to a BlueBird LXi 450.  Currently we are still working and hoping to retire, or at least semi-retire in the coming months.  We have a 2017 Haulmark Status 45DB motorcoach, but miss the class A room and are thinking about a change again.  I have determined that it will be a used (due to budget) Newell, Provost conversion or possibly a Foretravel IH45.  Leaning heavy towards the Newell due to the reputation of lasting "forever".

I have been lurking on the Gurus site for a couple of years and really enjoy learning about the coaches.  We will probably be looking for something less than 15 years old - Lisa likes 4 slides and a lot of room - but I am mechanical and love to find ways to fix things and make them better.  I think this site is one of the best.

I look forward to chatting with you all and hope to make it to a Not a Rally Rally some day in the coming year or two.

Thank you,

Dan Child

We are the owners of 511.  This is our second Newell, the first being a 1984 classic.  The info we have found on this site has been a huge help on various repairs.  We will try to return a little knowlege in the future.  We just wanted to say hey and see you at Bella Terra this week.  We will be in site 301 from 4/30-5/9

I recently had my salon slide valance off and noticed how close the slide hook was coming to hitting right against the frame. After pondering
a bit, I decided to build an insert with ramp to guide the hook in place. A local sheet metal fabrication shop was the ticket and $40 later this is what I have.
I also injected epoxy into the cavity to hold the piece in place. Prior to epoxy I sprayed foam in so the epoxy would not flow all the way down the tube.

What do you use for UPS in your home while you’re away?  My routers and cameras keep disconnecting when I am away from home for extended periods.  I want something that will keep the cameras up when the power goes out (which it does often but not for very long).  I was thinking about an internet-available UPS system since if the power is out the cable generally works and I can plug the router, cable modem, Wink hub, Phillips Hue hub, etc. to the UPS.  Maybe I need to add a UPS to each camera for if the power goes out (I can imagine a thief killing the power or cutting the cable internet at the street)...
Maybe I need a cellular backup system also...
