Gang,

I am at Newell having them fix several rain water leaks on my coach.  They ended up taking the number 1 slide completely apart looking for one of the leaks.  As a result, we found a nasty leak that I wanted to share with you guys....

The attached picture shows the Girard awning that runs the entire length of my number 1 (drivers front) slide.  The power to the awning enters the coach behind the awning, so it is really hard to see if the caulk / sealant has failed.  In my case it failed a long time ago causing a lot of hidden damage behind the phantom wall.  

If you have electric awnings, it might be a good idea to climb up and take a look.

Cheers,
bill

my understanding is blue sky is getting out of the rv insurance biz.. my new company is double.. almost 6k. Any other suggestions

Hey does anyone know if I need a special lilicense in California to drive a coach with air brakes?

Hello, We are doing our research and looking at the most highly recommended RV's. We plan to travel the country for a couple of years as soon as our home in Minnesota is sold.
Thanks for your advice.

I have a 2003 45'Quad with Valid slides and Trueline leveling system.  After several months of sitting in storage i went to coach to drive this weekend and when in travel mode, the coach was leaning to the left both front and rear.  The right side appeared to be riding fine and level in normal travel position.  We ended up driving around 80-90 miles and it still never came to level (to the same height as) on the left side.  After parking a coach for several months, do you need to turn the leveling system off and restart the system in either the level or travel modes?  Or is this a solenoid problem?  If so, where might i purchase the solenoids and can I replace and install or do i need to hire someone like Newell or a mechanic to do the work?

When i returned the coach to the storage facility, I parked the coach and leveled it, the leveling system appeared to be working fine.  The coach leveled correctly with both the left and right sides leveled and appearing to be maintaining the same height.

Thanks for in advance for your comments or suggestions.

How many heaters do I have? Actually a good problem to have since know  I have  5 120 volt and 1 propane. There are  120 volt heaters in the bath area( toilet side)  Bedroom, Salon ( Dinette area), and between the driver and passenger, (console) an 1 more in the water bay. I have yet to find the thermostat for the water bay.It's got to be in there somewhere ! 

The one propane I am aware of is under the jackknife sofa. Previous owner of the coach Todd , had the sofa recovered  and all new ducting put in at that time. My question is are there more propane furnaces on board? I only see external vents for one. 

I have furnace envy with Clarke, as he has at least two propane furnaces .   Actually 1 is fine with me, if I ever require two, it would be time to move further south.

Hello all!  

I am looking for a shop closer to my home in TN or at least the SE part of the country for servicing my coach and not having to head west.  I know there is a list on their site of suggested service centers but have found at least the ones in my state did not have that much knowledgeof them.  Really looking for a full service shop that knows these coaches!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all, and thanks for accepting me onto this forum!  We currently own a pretty fantastic (if I don't say so myself, lol) 1989 Vogue Prima Vista. We're looking to move up to a dbl or triple slide Newell, 2000-2002 or so. Until we find just the right one, thanks in advance for all the info and insight that I will glean from this forum.
