I'm still at Newell. One of the things I wanted checked was the AC.
One unit fan ran but did not cool and one would freeze up after about 2/3
Hours, the bedroom unit worked great

They found the unit that was freezing up low on freon, easy fix. On
The remaining unit testing made them think it had a bad compressor.
Of course it was the bottom unit in the stack

They removed the upper AC and pulled out the bottom AC onto a cart.
That units compressor had been changed sometime in its pass life
The tech got his meter and checked voltage 
GUESS what?
The compressor was wired wrong!!!!

The compressor had not ran since it was replaced
Guess I've got a new unit LOL

Moral.....Always take a photo BEFORE you start unhooking things

Hi to all from camp Newell
Been here all day. Everyone has gone home leaving me in the shop
Hate to see this bill

Driving from San Diego to Albuquerque and wondering if the I-10 through Phoenix then the 60 North to the 25 have fewer uphill climbs than the I-40?

Today while loading things into the coach, my wife noticed that the carpet in the bedroom was wet. Doh!

We've had the coach parked in the street while we try to get our house ready to sell. It's a narrow street so we have to park off the edge a bit and so we're on a slope with the passenger side low. We've only been inside to occasionally bring things into the coach. No toilet or sink use at all.

We've had torrential rains several days of the past week. Yesterday early afternoon'ish was very heavy. Yesterday evening we were showing the coach to a friend. Both her and my wife went all the way through the bedroom to the rear bath - neither noticed a wet carpet. One problem though is that I still haven't pulled off the stupid plastic covering that the dealer put on the carpet, so I can't be certain that the plastic didn't perhaps keep them from noticing it being wet.

So the conundrum is that I am not certain where the water is from. And we are scheduled to replace the carpet with LVT next week, so I've gotta get it figured out before then.

After I picked up the coach in Phoenix and took it to Tom's, we took a long lift ride to the top of the coach and found that both vent caps were broken off. I figured that had to be the problem today so I went up top to replace them. I was thinking that there was nothing actually sealing between the vent pipe and the rooftop, but when I pulled off the broken vent cap it seemed pretty well sealed around there.

The water is localized to the corner of the bedroom closest to the half bath (front, passenger side corner of the bedroom). This is right behind the sink in the half bath.

I figure there are 4 possible sources of water here:
1. Water ingressing around the vent pipe from the roof
2. Water leaking from the water supply to the sink
3. Water leaking from the drain for the sink. We have not used the sink, but water coming into the vent would go this path.
4. Water leaking from the hydronic heating. The Aquahot has not been on and all thermostats are set off so I can't see how this would have been pressurized to spill as much water as was in there.

I probably sucked out about a half gallon'ish of water with the carpet cleaner. And that was without being able to reach all of the wet section because the bed is stil over part of it (can't put the slides out with the narrow road and tilt of the coach).

My toilet keeps running with the flap open. After flushing several times it will close . It then sometimes will overflow . When the flap is open I can hear the air. Also sometimes the flap will open and water will not run until I turn on the sink or shower in the bath room.. I figure the sequencing valve is messed up and I know they can be rebuilt.. any ideas of how to do that?

Hi all,

Due to life circumstances (not bad) I am looking to purchase a motor home to live in (parked at my business) and travel with.
I have limited experience, although I have borrowed my friends 2005 Country Coach several times and got hooked.

I new I would want to purchase an older high end coach like a Prevost or equivalent. Through my research I came across this community and have been
lurking for a month or so. I am not dead set on a particular coach except I know I want slides. My budget will be determined on the value of the coach.

Being extremely handy, a coach needing some work does not intimidate me, which leads to the one I am presently looking at.  A 2000 triple slide that has been sitting for at least 2 years outside. It has 70k on it but is in rough shape (at least to me being on the anal side). The biggest issue is that it has gotten water in it from the bedroom slides being deflated and the mid-bath vent cover missing (I know). Almost all the lower bays are wet, I am assuming the water has just leaked down through the floor. It will need tires, batteries and interior work for sure. As long as the cabinetry is ok that does not bother me. I could go on and on but am looking for some guidance. As of now I can purchase this coach for 80k as is. I am just trying to get some assistance in making a decision (or not).

Thanks,

Mike
