Could someone help. On a lf 210 Microphor water closet could someone take the lid off their tank and tell me if the green air line or blue air line is closest to the outside of the tank, on the flush lever. Thanks in advance.Should have taken a pic before I removed it to service it,now I am questioning myself.

A few months ago the Suburban propane heater in the salon of my 1982 Newell began to fail.....the burner would light, but not stay lit which meant it was either a bad flame sensor, or a bad control board.  In my heart of hearts I was pretty sure it was the control board, but hoped it was just the ignitor/flame sensor module, which is pretty easy to replace.  Since I had pulled out the old one to take a look at it and it looked just like you would expect a 34 year old one would look, I decided to replace it whether, or not it was bad hoping that it would fix the problem.  Well, of course, that was not the case, so I ordered a replacement control board from Dinosaur (UIB-L) Board.  I did not buy it from Dinosaur, but off eBay (click link for the eBay page for this item) for $78.50 shipped.  I think Dinosaur's price is close to, or over $100.  Below a picture of the new board, the old board, and the viewing glass.....she stays lit!

               

I only use my gas heaters when dry camping/boondocking, and it wasn't that cold when we were out in the desert for 5 weeks, so I didn't rush to fix it, and I believed it would be a multi hour project trying to get that heater out.  As it turned out it was not that difficult.  Only two screws hold the heater in its box.....one inside and one outside where the vent is.  All you do is remove those two screws, disconnect the gas line and slide the heater out.....easy peezy!  I'm so glad I have the owners manuals for those heaters!

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?

hello ,

I 'm looking at a 01 today and wanted to know besides appearance what should I be looking at , thank you in advance for your insight .

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!

On my trailers we are opening the rear door upward 90 degrees. Hinged at the top. Considering hydraulic Pistons or electric screw jacks.. Also am considering a torsion spring to assist.. Opinions from those smarter than me

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' ...

Beautiful....I love art deco!

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

We have a 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?
