Anybody going to FMCA rally in Perry GA in March 2016?

Can any one help if the CAT C15 Fumoto Valve T205 needs the adapter?
Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.

Fun day

We recently spent 10 days at Quartzite, AZ to visit the annual RV show in the BIG WHITE tent.....you have to do that at least once, right?  While we were there we made inquiries of several glass places that specialized in RV glass repair as the driver's side windshield was hit by a rock back on December 30th on our way out to Ocotillo Wells for New Years and a small star crack developed, within hours, into a spider web of cracks on the left side of that piece of glass making it a necessity to have it replaced as soon as possible.  In addition to that each windshield had begun to pop out (lower left corner of driver's side, and lower right corner of passenger side).

We settled on Nomad Glass to do the work, and decided to replace both windshields since the right, although only 9 years old, had a lot of pitting.  Ironically the sales person we spoke with had just purchased a 1973 Newell at auction a couple of months prior and knew what kind of glass we needed.  It's pretty straight forward....The passenger side glass has a 'part' number of DW730, and the driver is DW731.

Rick, the salesman, assisted us in filing our glass claim with our insurance carrier, and then ordered the glass.  They received it last Tuesday (January 19th) and called to make an appointment to install the glass for January 22nd (Friday).  They arrived at our camp site on the east side of Quartzite just off Dome Rock Road promptly at 11 am, and were finished with the install about 1 pm.....they removed the driver's side glass first, removed the rubber gasket to thoroughly clean it before re-gluing it to the frame, then installed the glass.....same for the passenger side.  They (Marty and A.J.) really took their time working the glass into position.  Before they glued the glass they made sure each side was properly centered, glued each piece in place, and then cleaned up.  Having been a property and casualty insurance broker for over 40 years I saw a lot of windshields being installed over that time.  These guys really know their work, and we are totally pleased.  Below are pictures of the damage to the driver's side glass, the installation, and finished product.

They had us sit still for 24 hours after the installation before driving, which we did.....in fact we didn't move for 25 hours!

On a side note we were able to meet up with Russ and Debbie Davis, have lunch a couple of times, and tour their 1996 Newell while we were in Quartzite. As always, we hit it off immediately.

they got to our place today.  darlene and i even spread 50 tons of crushed granite for them to park on today.

I have a seal leaking on my 1995 tax axle.  Has anyone changed the seals?  I have the wheel off.  It looks like the rotor is bolted to the hub but I'm not sure.  Can the hub be removed with taking the brake rotor and caliper apart?  See attached pictures.
Thanks,

For those that want to get serious about finding air leaks here are the tools I found most useful.  The big leaks are easier.  The smaller the leak the harder the detection.  Every leak I found was either at a fitting, valve or a leaking component.

Have a soapy solution and a spray bottle.  I like a small bottle as you will be trying to spray in some tight congested areas.  For a solution I use the kids bubble solution

The ultra sonic leak detector is very useful, but don't be fooled into thinking you just wave this around and you will find all your leaks.  I find this tool is useful on finding medium to large leaks and in locating exactly where they are located.  Also good to use in those hard to see areas like under the dashboard.  Many different brands & price ranges.  This is just the one I use.

     

Leakdown tester was the most important tool!  It tells you whether you have a leak or you don't.  Points you in a direction, but doesn't locate the leaks for you.  Allows you to eliminate lines, valves and components as you go.

   

Piece of air tubing with a union.  Used this in tight places to get leakdown tester away from other stuff like tubing, hoses & wiring.

   

Capped off piece of tubing.  Very useful in allowing you to test single components and take them out of the overall air system.  I have two of these.

   

This tool is used to inject compressed air into a line.  In trying to identify where lines go that are impossible to follow, this tool is very useful.

   

All of the tools shown are for 1/4" tubing.  I also have a complete identical set for 3/8" tubing.

For those that want to have some one else find your leaks this is the most important tool.

   

Good luck in your hunt.
