Just bought coach 463. 1997 45'er w one slide. Love it, but have an issue. Rear of bus has fallen and will not air back up. Compressor working, gauges read 115 ish lbs, front will raise/lower, left/right works properly. Bad solenoid/ Valve/Leak? Can hear no air leak while leaning in to engine bay and axle area. Any clues, or advice?  Thanks

I need a source to have 4/0 ground cable made up in Southern California. I went to the local Truck NAPA store, but they don't make them up and had no suggestions. My coach ground cable for the chassis batteries has become loose in the compression connector of the ground lug, and is causing problems. I am not in trouble with it yet, but I will be very soon.. I would rather not invest in crimping tools, as I am in a 12 step recovery program for tool addicts. Cool

Any opinions or benefits of one or the other? I have 2013 Chevy Avalanche and price for both installed is almost the same. Reading the installation instructions it is hard to tell which if either will have to cut on my bumper. The shop I am considering 4 State Trailers in Fairland, OK. They recently did a couple of Newells pulling Jeeps with Roadmaster and have not installed Blue Ox but will.
Thanks Mike

I have antifreeze leaking in front left side in front of driver. What's up there. the heater for winter? If I take the dash off can I do a temp. fix by just closing off the line after removing it from the core box? I've not opened it up yet. I just assumed I could get to it from the inside.

A number of you have asked about our plans regarding the incoming storm. As of right now, we are planning on riding it out. If the forecast is true or close to accurate we shouldn't get more than rain and 40mph wind. 

This decision may or may not be a good one in hindsight. Only time will tell. 

The coach is in the drive, ready to power the house if needed. Diesel tank is full. The fridge and pantry are well stocked. We have a well so water shouldn't be a problem. 

Forrest and Cindy are marooned here with us, so it's good to have experienced hurricane folks to hold our hands.

Thanks to all of you who have expressed concern, I will post as this situation progresses.

Seems that certain Newells show up for sale by different sellers. Private, then one retailer after another. Flippers.

I am replacing the Firestone W01-358-8087 air bags for the Dana Kirkstall IFS 84 suspension. As many of you know these are special order and the delivery time is six to eight weeks, plus the price is double what it should be. 

I have asked the vendor how many would need to be ordered to get a price break. 

My question to the forum is how many of you would want two? And are you willing to pay up front?

Gang,

Has anyone gone though and figured out how the ammeters above the dash work?  One of mine works (kinda) and one is dead.

I am assuming that there is a sensor (either a shunt or a Hall effect sensor) near the transfer switch.  I am not sure where to even start.

Has anyone replaced their meters with digital?  or even found a replacement source for the analog meter if that turns out to be whats wrong.

Thanks,
bill
