  microphor air leak

Under the lid on my microphor Model LF 210 air flush toilet there is a unit that the water supply and six or seven air lines feed to the unit. My question is there is one black line coming off of it that is about 4 inchs long that is a deadend line with a brass fitting and a set screw in it. There seems to be a pin hole in that set screw releasing air that will drain my main supply tank in about two hours. Is that normal or does anyone have a up to date phone number for microphor?

Howdy
My name is Victor Sandonato.
We have been checking on the site and exploring the possibility of purchasing a used Newell.
We have been looking at Wanderlodges and Prevost for about 3 months and we are getting serious.
We like the 1 1/2 bath models and would like to stay under 200,000 because we do not want to finance. 
Newell has been on the top of our list. It is our first choice.
We recently visited the Foretravel factory on a trip to the Keys and found them interesting also.
So, this is why I have signed up and hope to become part of the owners club in the future!

  Names on Newells

In the BlueBird group it was a big thing to have a cool name for your bird (our's was 'Mauvelous' since she was dipped in Pepto).  Do Newell owners do that?  I thought about having stickers made for the rear with our names and maybe the coach name at the top near the camera... I have no idea what to call her, maybe 'Banana Royale' or 'Mellow Yellow' or 'Creme Pi' ...

  Front slide seals deflate if I turn off 120V pump

Gang,

I have been inspired to find air leaks by the posts on here.  I don't usually fret about air leaks and fix them when I have time, however, I have found a problem that needs to be fixed ASAP.

From what I understand the 12V system will supply air to the slide seals, to the air door and to the toilet.  This is "backed up" by the 120V system.

In my case, If I turn off the 120V pump but leave on the 12V pump, I eventually lose the air pressure to the front slide seals and to the toilet.  The rear slide seals stay inflated.

Does anyone have an idea as to where to look?  I suspect that a check valve is blocked somewhere, but I can't imaging how to start to find the problem.

The 12V pump seems to be working properly.

Short Version:  The 12V pump does not supply air to the front slide seals.

Cheers,
bill

  Need new inverter

We have a Heart Heart Freedom 25 94K1 inverter/(I think it is a charger also) and it seems to keep the batteries charged fine. The problem is that if we lose 110volt power the inverter does not switch to 12volt battery power (with the inverter switch turned on) and the inverter light will go out on the panel.  
I would like to have an inverter that would work with a solar panel array on the roof and not sure if this one will work.  2500 watts seems to be enough for us but we have not boondocked a lot (yet) but I would like to be prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse... Any ideas?

  Air regulator on Valid Slide

- Replies (2)

Gang,

I have been inspired to look for leaks in my coach by @"rheavn"   With a sonic leak detector, I have found a leak in one of the regulators for my Valid slides.

     As you can see it looks like a standard air regulator but the base is attached to some sort of block.  I have not yet called Newell, but was wondering if anyone had a source for these. From the picture it looks like a SMC NAR2000-N02B-1. According to the SMC website it is Manufacturer Discontinued.

I am not POSITIVE that it is the valve.  It could be the gauge which looks pretty rough.

Has anyone experienced a leak in the body of one of these regulators?

Cheers,
bill

  What is the PERF button and how do I use it

On my Allison transmission control panel I have a Button labeled "Mode".  Right above the button I have a label "Perf".  So my question is....What is the button for and how do I use it?  I did a little research, and in general the Mode button changes the software settings in the transmission to choose different shift points.  The choice of the software changes are determined by the OEM manufacturer (Newell).

On my most recent trip, I experimented with the button.  I could not detect any specific change caused by the Perf button.  

Does anyone know what the button actually does?  

Cheers,
bill
