Hey guys,

I need some help and input. My system has been altered and I am trying to sort out what is correct and what is not correct. 

I need to understand what the 12 VDC air compressor powers: Front door, interior doors and toilet. 
Questions:
A) does it also provide air to the red line (brake system)?
B) What else should the 12 vdc compressor power?
C) Should it fill the aux air system?

In the current configuration the pressure switch is on the red line side, so it is monitoring the red line pressure (from the added 120 VAC compressor) not the 12 VDC output, there is a check valve inline. 

The green and blue lines to the slide seals are on the high pressure side (60 psi) at the 12 VDC compressor. 

The blue line / small black line for doors / toilet are on the low pressure side of regulator on the 12 VDC compressor. 

My redesign is:
12 VDC compressor output to:
pressure switch
check valve to red line
regulator to blue/green slide seal lines
regulator to blue / black line to doors and toilet 

A 120 VAC compressor has been added to the system in the mid-compartment, it provides air to the red (brake) system and the green (slide seal) system. See pics. I see this as a good thing, the added tank capacity helps with compressor run time.

The original 120 VAC compressor on the street side seems to be fully functional but does not provide air to my blue line (doors, toilet), I have not looked into this in depth yet. But will.

I am trying to get a handle on the 12 VDC compressor for now.  

I do have an additional question regarding the entry door. Locking the door from inside the coach, this may be an air issue, can the alarm system affect locking of the door (from the inside)? how do you turn the alarm off? When I try to lock the door from the inside, I have a relay clicking in the front compartment (constant click, click, click, click). I can try to toggle the door lock switch a few times to try and get it to stop clicking. 

I appreciate the help.

left home everything great got to camp gulf Florida backed in and no yellow ready light . I thought it might be the Hobb checked with test light and when energized my light flicked so twisted wires no luck anybody have a clue ?

Dropped one of the engraved rocks glasses that came with my buddies Newell. Any chance someone’s got an extra to sell?

Good Day All! 
   My name is Brian and I are looking to upgrade to a Newell sometime in the future. We started with backpacks years ago, then graduated to popups, then travel trailers, a class C, and now we have a 2007 Winnebago Tour 40KD. We live in Virginia and I consider myself mechanically capable for most things I have encountered on the Winnebago.   We have come to love the motorcoach lifestyle, and I am getting the itch to upgrade yet again to a Newell. My wife is dealing with some significant medical issues, and the flexibility that the motorhome offers allows us to travel in both comfort and convenience.
   I have been lurking on this site for several weeks now and am impressed with both the collective knowledge and the effort to share your experiences with these machines. I will thank you in advance for the information, as it has already helped in refining what we are looking for (98-2006 years), and inspection tips.
   I am retired military and we travel around visiting family and friends. We also belong to a military RV group that hosts rallies all over the US (Special Military Active Recreational Traveler, AKA SMART). Their national rally is in Elkhart Indiana in August. I hope to meet some of you on the road in 2026 and beyond!

Cheers

Rear camera video has never been very clear no matter that I cleaned it and could see the camera clearly through the globe.  I took the globe off to clean the camera lens and discovered the globe is crazed and has a fuzzy view when looking through it from the cameras perspective.  I put a new globe on it and it's a nice clear view now.

This was installed in my F150 and used for a few years with flawless performance.
Unit and Cylinder look great and I'm including the Air Hose and tubing and T-fitting as well.

$375 obo for my fellow-gurus, but let me know if you think this price isn't fair.

Hi Everyone! I am the new owner of coach #390.

 I am having an alternator voltage fluctuation.  On VMSpc I am showing between 12.8v and 13.1v at idle. When I am driving with the generator running, I am showing 14.1v  to 14.6v. Generator off it 13.8-14.1. 
I noticed the grounding wire seems a bit frayed where it connects to the alternator.  I am going remove the air intake piping and test alternator voltage. 
Any other suggestions?  I apologize if this isn't the right category. 
Thanks,
Mark

Has anyone mounted a bidet on a Headhunter Royal Flush?  If so can you report on which one, installation, etc.?

Hi guys,

I did this a few weeks ago, but thought I would share in case anyone else need the info. 

I upgraded both TV's (front / bedroom) with these Samsungs from Amazon, very pleased with the connectivity and able to rapidly change channels or services (some TV's are just slow). These fit perfectly in my spots. The old TV's were very very heavy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXMT9GXD?ref...in_title_3

I updated the dash stereo, that also powers the bose speakers for full surround from the TV (via bluetooth). I thought it was from Amazon, but can't locate it.
