It appears the push-pull control valve for the generator slide-out has died. Has anyone replaced theirs and knows a source for a replacement?

thought I would pass on some aqua hot knowledge. One of the copper pipes above the middle aqua hot motor had broke, it was the same spot it had broke 3 months ago and Newell had repaired. The leaking fluid from the pipe leaked onto the engine preheat pump. This caused my preheat light to come on and off at random times. Newell currently doesn't have any of the pumps in stock so we shoot of the valves at the back of the coach. One was leaking so we replaced it.

Another symptom of the pre heat pump shorting out was it caused the relays in the aqua hot to chatter. 

So just some issues I had thought I would pass on.

This will apply to 1999 coaches and probably several other years.  While having some rear brake work done a hose was discovered with a hole worn all the way through.  It had chafed on the chassis structure up high in the rear.  Hose was connected to the tag brake chamber.  Replaced them all as they were 16 yrs old.  I also replaced the drive & tag brake chambers.  Tag brake chamber is a straight forward R&R.  Drive brake chamber requires "staging"  and then R&R.

For each hose you will need two hose fittings:  Gates part #G33110-0606

And you'll need 3/8" id air brake hosing:

TIP: Trying to save the old fittings is near impossible due to its design.  Save yourself time & just cut off & replace.  Assembly is quite simple and self explanatory when you see the fittings.  A collar & clip goes over the hose and is pushed onto the fitting & then the collar is tightened.

Many of you know Mike Wheatley at Newell service . He is one of the electricians in the service department. Last Thursday night a tornado destroyed some buildings on his property and some minor damage to his house. Just thought I'd pass it on.

Hello,

I own a 1975 Newell pusher, and one of the rear air bag leaf springs has cracked.  Would anyone have any suggestions on where to source a used one, or am I better off trying to have one manufactured?

Thanks,

Robert

Rhonda has me doing a little remodel. So as I started to replace the bathroom sink, I ran into the Newell way of doing things. I think they used a 55 gallon drum of silicone to undermount the existing sink to the granite. It would not come loose. I was hesitant to pry too hard because the granite is only 1/2 thick. They do that that to cut weight as opposed to the 1 inch granite normally used.

The strength of the integral sink was just too much to break loose. So I thought what if I break the existing sink in pieces. That first blow with the ball peen hammer had a certain body restriction in full on mode.
   
I am happy to say the granite did not crack, and I was able to get the individual pieces loose.

And of course the final result.
   

I some significantly worn and scuffed areas on my driver and passenger seat. I thought I would try a product that I first read about on one of the Bimmer forums. The product is Leatherique. I really didn't know what to expect. It is a four step process. The first is to recondition the hide, the second to clean, the third to prep for dyeing, and the fourth to dye. It sounds like a lot more work than it actually is. I sent a sample piece to them for color matching. I unstitched a piece of the skirt around the driver seat for the sample.

I'll let the results speak for themselves. I don't know how well it will hold up; according to the auto sites, it should do quite well.

         

         

         

We will see how long it holds up.

By the  way, the first two products, the rejuvenator and the cleaner, make the leather smell like new leather. I wiped all the other leather surfaces with them, and I can see the difference.

Gen set overheated . Realized coolant was low. Added some coolant and everything was fine.
 I hadn't added any in 1000 hours of operating.. As a fellow guru who owns coach 512 but I want to keep his name anonymous once told me. " adding a liquid may temporarily solve your problem but it begs to ask where did the old liquid go.. ".  I see know signs of a leak so did I just lose some over time to evaporation?
