Trying to get on the road this morning and the rear slide won't retract.

The front slide came in just fine, no issues.

E-Brake is on and the E-Brake indicator is lit.
The slide seal properly deflates and the yellow/orange light comes on.
The lock pins on top retract successfully (verified visually).
The hydraulic pump motor runs when we hit Retract but no evidence of motion on the slide.

I'm about to test voltage at the Retract solenoid or not, but looking for other ideas.

I was also wondering -- on the hydraulic solenoids, there is a T-Handle on the back of each one. Can that be used to manually operate the valve in some fashion?

I have already got a few inquiries about the 2018 no rally rally at Bella Terra resort in Foley, AL.  Any & all are welcome to join us.  For those of you that have not joined us at Bella Terra before,  our no rally rally is just an opportunity for Newell owners to socialize with other Newell owners in the S/E part of the country.

We will be there from May 1st thru May 14th.  Join us for any time within that period or the entire time.  Bella Terra is a top rated resort with all expected amenities.  They have 3 levels of sites which range from no improvements to full outdoor kitchens.  Make your own reservation for the site  & type you desire.  All Newells are welcome in this park!  Classics too.  The park has a 15 Year old rule, but all Newells will be accepted.  If you have any problems, let me know & I will take care of it.

When placing a reservation, call Katie, who is our contact.  Tell her you are with the "Newell Group" and she will assist you in securing the site you want.  We will be grouping up around Site #349.

The resort is located just a block north of Gulf Shores, AL and is just a 15 minute drive to beautiful white sand beaches.  Lots of good restaurants & shopping to meet any one's taste.  During this period the area has a balloon fest, Art in the Park and a music festival on the beach.  It is only a 1/2 hour drive to Florida.  The Blue Angels put on exhibitions twice a week in Pensacola--free. 

Last year we had 13 Newells show up and 3 s.o.b.s  Hoping for an even bigger group in 2018.  Attached a few pictures from last years rally.

Hello All,

Took the bus into the shop to get the airbags, shocks, valves etc replaced and when they took the wheels off the steer axle they found that the brake disks are cracked and the pads are almost gone.... got the call a few hours ago....

I have to find 2 brake rotors, set of front pads and 2 tierod ends ASAP. I have a solid axle upfront not IFS.

The brakes seems to be Knorr Bremse and Bendix is part of the group now.

Does anybody have the part numbers for these parts ?

Quad slide, front entry, bath and a half, marble tile flooring throughout, twin couches in salon.

Does anybody have any info about this one?  Is sure looks like it's been well kept.

I'll be leaving on Dec 20/21 from Florida to Elverston Pennsylvania (French Creek State Park) and I think it will be really cold or possibly snowing and never driven a motorhome on snow before, I would like to know if you can share what should I be paying attention to (I do know that I will be needing to pay attention to the engine heater before I start the engine but this is pretty much all I know)

All experiences and recommendations are welcome.

scott has added a google search bar to every page. it allows you to use google search to look for things inside of newellgurus.  many of you have commented the search capability is not as robust as we would like, so this should help a great deal.  

it does give some google ads as well, but hey, it was free.  

thanks

tom

well, the closing issues with my main door are back. While at Newell 2 weeks ago i had them look at it but of course, worked fine. they replaced and adjusted the MAC valve..been communicating with Bode engineers but not many suggestions. This all started before the Alabama trip but after putting in an air/water filter I didn't have but a few issues.

not sure what my next step is. replacing the motor is an option but until i can isolate the problem, troubleshooting will continue..did find something out today and it is that when the door starts to close and stalls blowing air, I can push it a tad more open and it will close> sounds like a pressure seal but not sure..

it's cold as the devil here in Galveston and I'll wait till my warmer next stop..

If anyone has a suggestion or thought, short of trading it in on a 1968 winnebago.

Have a great weekend..
