Our voltage gauges are showing us that we have 120 volts on both our lines but the voltage lights at this particular rv park are not lit up showing we have 240 volts. Has anyone ever had this happen and what was the cause? We checked connections to the lights and they were tight and they were working at the last rv park. The two 120 lights are lit up but the 240 lights are not. They flicker a little bit but that's it.

After the recent post about rear gear failure I thought it might be time to change that oil in my 93 coach. I had inintended to refill it with Mobil 1 75W90, then when I checked the Arvinmeritor site I found that oil was not on the approved list of oils though a companion oil Mobil Delvac Syngear was on the list. I donknow what makes the latter different. Other commonly available approved oils were Syn-Gear by Castrol and Valvoline HD Synthetic Gear EP.

IT seems there is a bit of a surprise and some learning every time I go to do something.

As I posted earlier, I'm a new guy and Foretravel owner. I would like my next coach to be a 2004-2006 45 ft one or two slide with a DD 60 series engine, a NS bed and something other than white laminate interior. Most of the Newell coaches I have seen have an EW bed that looks almost round, three slides and a white interior that is a bit sterile for my taste. Am I looking for something that doesn't exist?

I will be making many repairs and some restoration work. I'm glad this forum exists and have learned much all ready from reading your posts. 

Im looking forward to being able to cross the nation in vintage style!

I am new to the forum. I have owned several gas RVs and am looking to upgrade to a DP. I have pretty much eliminated prevost in my investigation and settled on Newell or Foretravell. I'm limited on funds, so I'll be looking at older Rvs. I'be found that I can buy an older Newel for the same price range of a later model Foretravel. I'm looking for guidance to help in my decision making. Why would want to buy Newell over a later Foretravel? There is much I don't knowabout Newell, especially the chassis. All input would be appreciated.

I have changed out the front airbags (W01-358-9447). The main portion of the bags were OK except near the top and where they fold over at the bottom. The bottom is where the main weaknesses were. The right front bag had the rubber crumbling off if rubbed by hand. The others were cracked and checked at that location. 

There was a "BUMPER DATE" on the tag on the top with a -92 on it which may mean the bags were original to the coach. That is pretty darn good for a rubber part. The rear bags look good so they probaby have been replaced once.

IT took about 8 weeks to get the new bags, factory delay with the rubber sleeves was blamed. I plan to save a couple old bags in case someone is on the road and can't find a new one. Ordinarily, Truck Spring in Saginaw, MI stocks these. They had one in stock when I called to get 4.

We are just now finding out the scope of the data breach at Yahoo. Approximately 1/2 MILLION Yahoo accounts were hacked back in 2014. The breach includes email addresses, names, passwords, security questions, telephone numbers, and birthdays. If you have a Yahoo email account, or an account with Yahoo's other sites, such as Tumblr or Flickr, you need to take immediate action. Log into to your account and change your password, then change your security questions. If you use those passwords or security questions on ANY other account, it is advisable to change those also.
