Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks
- Replies (1)

I purchased a VS 227 valve which has different orientation. I ended up rotating the internal part of the valve on the existing one, thus confused as to the operation when the swar bar moves- in other words when the bar is moved upwards, is that filling the bags  and down releasing air out the exhaust port. matters as the valve internal can be rotated 180 degrees  and the arm can be installed. I used the old arm on the new valve.  

Why did I choose this valve? someone else on guru used it and it was 25 % the cost of the oem one.
Thanks

I’m almost sure I saw my 1978 Newell that I sold 10 years ago in Indy today. We were on 465 and the Newell going the opposite way. They were flat-towing a Jeep. Still lookin’ good!

        We are putting our 2013 Newell up for sale.  We simply are not finding the time to use it and it just sits around collecting dust.  Unit is well maintained with 1 year old Michelin tires, 2 new a/c units just to name a couple recent upgrades.  I have spent many hours "tinkering" with it replacing leaking air connections, servicing all components, replacing anything that looked suspect and in general, keeping it 100% ready to Rock n' Roll.  It is 12 years old and therefore, has a few imperfections.  1-2 floor tiles are chipped, windshield has a small crack and there are a few paint areas that may need some attention in years to come.  Nothing of any major consequence but I want to be totally transparent.  Other than these few imperfections, EVERYTHING is in tip top working order.  I realize I'm leaving out a plethora of info but I we have finally made up our minds to sell and I wanted to get the ball rolling.  I can be reached at 319-750-1739 at any time or reached at [email protected] 
Asking price $625,000.00
Unit is located in Mt Pleasant, IA

Here is a youtube video I found that is on this coach (1466) when new

Good news, Gurus! Valid Manufacturing has a product, VEC02A019-06 that replaces VSS90A-019-06. This is the control keypad that came in my 2009 coach. The rear keypad was out when we bought the coach. No replacement was available until now. Woo Hoo!! We got one and it plugged right in and worked. (We shut the power off while plugging it in).
Our keypad, and the replacement are both touchscreen keypads. In the picture, I'm holding the new keypad, the old one is still mounted on the wall.
To change it out, I just shut off all power in the coach (including shore power and batteries). Then I removed the four mounting screws and took the keypad off the wall. I swapped the wire connector from the back of the old unit to the new one and screwed it back to the wall. The mounting screw holes lined up!!  After powering up the coach again, it woke up when touched and just worked like it was always there. 
I'm so happy to have the second slide control station operational. This one's location is easier to reach for my wife too. I am not sure if this part would work in the older button systems. If you remove the keypad from the wall, the part number is on the back. Good Luck!!

So in my 1998 coach, there is a regular 120v outlet in the bay just to the left of the mid-entry door.  Mine seems to just randomly decide that for some time it will be off.  It doesn’t have a GFI plug in outlet.  I can’t see any fuses or breakers being out anywhere either and sometimes it just works and other times it doesn’t.  It seems to flip on and off every other trip or so, not daily or hourly.

Any ideas?  Any hidden fuses or breakers for that plug that maybe I cannot find or don’t know about?

Losing my TV in the salon but have no clue how to access it so that I can even check connections much less swap it out for a new one.  Any help appreciated.  Hopefully I have loaded the picture in properly.

So, recently I have been having a problem with my electric aquahot working.  The diesel version works just fine.  The light lights up when I use the switch but it just doesn't heat up.  I checked the fuses in the back of the coach and the fuses on the inside of the aquahot bay but none of them seemed to be blown.  We did have the breaker go off a few times the past week or two at the post we were plugged in to, so maybe that caused something to malfunction?

Is there another fuse somewhere that I would need to check?

Is it the relays maybe?  I see a few of them on the side of the aquahot near the fuses.

The diesel works great and the heat still works overall.

Coach is a 1998.

Had a switch panel recently fail.  Panel was dark and none of the five buttons functioned.  Removed panel and found rapid flashing green LED on the rear of the panel.  This indicated the panel was trying to communicate with the network, but never succeeded.  This LED should be solid green indicating the device is connected to the network and communicating properly.

I spoke to Newell and they did not have any in stock.  Lead-time was two weeks and $436.  Spoke to Spyder Controls, price was $250 and I received it in four business days from BC, Canada.

As i get closer to selling my house and leaving Alaska I'm trying to build a tool kit for any unexpected emergency. I've got some basic hand tools and scanners, laptops and code readers. This however is an amazing addition to self reliance. I've got spare wheel and tire but if i was to get a flat in the middle of nowhere i can now be fixed ad rolling again in 30 minutes. Kit comes with 4 batteries, charger for 2 at a time and the big impact. All without the need for massive amounts of air pressure. It will provide me with much needed peace of mind knowing i wont have to call for tire service that could be 3-7 hours away.
