Gang,

I have a Winegard Trav'ler SK3005 antenna that is causing me problems.  My setup has two directv receivers and both receivers are having the problems.  The issue is that some channels show an error message related to signal strength.

Here are the facts...

1.  The satellite box has an asterisk on all three birds (101, 110 and 119).  That means that the receiver can see the satellites.
2.  When I look at signal strength for the transponders on 101, I see mostly 99 or 100 percent signal strength.
3.  On some transponders the signal strength is much less...around 30-50.
4.  Have reset everything with no change.

So the question is...What can cause some transponders to have much lower signal than the others?

I have swapped my two DirecTV receivers with no change.  (Including the B-Band converter)  
I have also swapped the cables between the two receivers and don't see much of a change.

Cheers,
bill

I have a few windows at the sticks and bricks where the seal failed and the window fogged. Replacing the whole window was going to be a chore since the siding would have to be removed to get the nailed in window frames out. So I looked to see if I could cut the old glass out and order new sealed panes. Voila !  And the maker of the sealed panes, Peninsula Glass in Vancouver.

I am looking for a air system diagram for my 87 Newell. I have looked on many websites but have not seen one that matches my Newell. For example, my front axle has 4 air bags, 2 per side, and each pair feed directly into their own tank. The tank in front of the axle supplies the right side air bags & the one behind the axle supplies the left side. I have never seen a diagram with that sort of configuration. I am trying to determine which solenoid controls what action-Raise, Lower & Ride height. I also have 2 other tanks near the front of the coach which I assume are related to the brakes. Any help would be appreciated.

Last night about 3am we had a huge storm and although we leaned the coach over toward the driver side so the rain would slide off rather than pooling up.  Apparently we had some leaves stuck in the bladder and this caused water to seep in.  

Gang,

Every since I have owned my '03 coach, I have had rain water in the electric reel bay.  (Under Number 2 slide).  Newell has worked on it and improved the water situation, but I am still seeing a fair amount of water.

I have always believed the water was coming from the slide seal.  But since we cannot see any problem with that ... i am thinking that water may be coming from the joint between the coach body and the rear cap.  Is that even a thing? 

I have never been on top of my coach so I don't even know what it looks like.  Simple minded me is thinking about getting some of that Sika Tape and run across the seam on the top.

So, have you found and fixed a leak in the rear of the coach?  I would love to hear the story.

Cheers,
bill

I have my new Michelin tires installed and now I am wondering about a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
I check my tire pressure before I leave and this has worked to date but the tread separation I just experienced makes me curious about a TPMS.
After reading what I can find I am still curious about the manufacturers and could use some advice from those with experience.
thanks in advance!
