I think Bella Terra is foregoing the age limit for coaches at the rally. Our’s is a 1998 and they let us in last year - I’m hoping we can return but there is so much going on that week...

Just sharing some of my recent experience with this tape.

The aluminum molding running down the side of the coach just above the compartments had come loose in a few places so I decided to remove and reinstall it. It was attached at the factory 25 years ago with double sided tape. The top has been much easier to separate from the coach than the bottom. The bottom has been a real challenge to get loose. I have discovered that soaking the tape edges with WD-40 (how could we live without that stuff) makes it release or come apart MUCH easier but requires a bit of patience for it to soak in and do its thing. I just hope that it works as well when I'm removing the remnants of the tape from the 2 surfaces.

Since the tape holding the top side of the molding is exposed more to the weather and sun it seems those aspects will cause the tape to loosen its hold. The bottom tape is protected from those conditions by the overhang of the molding and is a real buggar to get loose. A lesson perhaps is that when this type tape is used externally it might be best to cover the exposed edges with a bit of sealant so it is protected from direct exposure to weather and sun.

Has anyone check into max run time on a Thomson compressor. I am waiting on a new pressure switch and have been running my compressor with the switch inside just to keep air up.

Coach #588 2001 45.8 is there anyone who knows where the pressure switch is to turn the 110 compresser on and off ? I replaced the square D switch in the front pass bay but I think it is there to blow off head pressure

My life circumstances have changed in ways that make this coach no longer fit. I believe I have taken good care of it. It isn't perfect, but it is darn good.

Looking for some insight, can anyone give me an idea of what system this relay and flasher belong to? It looks like it’s close to the alarm switch on the exterior door. It has been clicking and I don’t know why. I do have engine batteries out right now also. Any thoughts? Thanks

Can someone tell me how to drain my air tanks?
I can’t find any way to drain them.
Also today while looking for the tank drains I found the air dryer behind the tag axle on drivers side.
And notice it has a filter labeled as an oil filter?
Does this seem right. I always thought the air dryer had a desiccant filter.
Not sure what brand dryer I have.
Coach is #1267 a 2009

Hello everyone I have coach 469, a 1998 Newell, and I’m looking for information on tie-rods and drag links. My shop says they’re obsolete so having a hard time finding some. I’ve left messages at Newell, but waiting to hear back. Would anyone by chance happen to know a source where I could find these or even a part number? Thanks in advance, Joe

It looks like the fan motor in my front basement A/C unit has gone out. I have an A/C tech helping me with the repair but not sure if he can find a fan motor, any advice?
I also mentioned the relays you guys have been installing and he will also help install them once we get the unit working. I also want to know if anyone has changed their SCS units to a newer brand. Due to beautiful ceiling details, roof tops are out.

Thanks
