After a long trip we opened the door and the step did not extend all the way.  It just kind of hangs there - the bar/arm that attaches the step is dangling underneath but the motor is working fine.  There is a pin in the arm that looks like it may have broken or pulled loose.  I read where this is a Ford motor but not sure the motor is the problem since the arm is separate (not sold with the motor)... any ideas how to reattach it and where to reattach it? 

On my 93 coach, does anyone know where the big power cable that feeds the front chassis circuit panel located ahead of the passenger's feet originates, I'm assuming it's somewhere in the rear of the coach and having looked there am confused. I'm getting a voltage drop of about 0.5 volts on that cable's connection with the panel when I turn on the parking lights, more when the headlights come on.

For those who have series 92 engines and use Power Cool Coolant, what is your source besides Detroit Diesel?

Selling 1996 Newell, 45 ft. Kept in cover storage.  I have owned it for 5 years and update a lot of the systems.  New 12 volt compressor, New charge air cooler and radiator, new fresh water tank, new front tires, new dash AC compressor. new circuit board for double basement AC and spare, New driver and passenger seats, new residential refrigerator, new inverters (2) pure sine 2500 watts each and auto start. Located in the Raleigh North Carolina area.  Feel free to contact for additional info and pics. Price = $82,500.

The Vacuum Gauge was starting to climb so I replaced the Air Filter today. 1982 6V92 Air Filter--Baldwin #PA 2722.
Posting this for others.

After months of work on the Newell we are off on our first trip.
We are leaving NC in the morning heading to Moscow, IA to see the fine people at HWH.
We checked the weather and looks we are going to see some snow.
New Tires, New Brakes, Oil Changed and Serviced, Waxed & Wheels Polished (I read on here that the coach runs better with wheels polished)
...now off to Iowa to get the HWH up to par.
We are excited!

Found this in my parking spot this afternoon. It appears to be a 1999 #522.


It is not mine but it was recently listed on RVtrader.

We're on the side of the road. Have a roadside tech here. We can't locate the fuse panel. We have tom McClouds old 236. If anyone can help, please call Laura and Ted Jenkins at 301-775-0640.

This information comes from an earlier repair but wanted to post it here so that we all could have it.
On our '82 we have a NT-16L in the Saloon (Living Room) and it supplies Heat to that area as well as the Tankage Bay, a NT-16L under the Refrigerator and it supplies Heat to the Stairwell and the Tankage Bay, and then we have a NT-24M under the Street Side Closet and it supplies Heat to the Bedroom area.

I had a bad Fan Motor in the Saloon and the repair parts were Suburban #520949 in a kit that included the Fan Motor and Gaskets. I was able to take a Stainless Steel Brush (Toothbrush) and Clean my Burners and Orifice. When you look through the Sight Glass you should see a Blue Flame and not a Yellow Flame.
All of my heaters had Wasp (Mud Daubers) Nests on the Fan Blades and that area. I have installed Screens over them now to try and keep it from happening again.
Replacement Ignitor Circuit Board was from Dinosaur Electronics. This one is much better than the original ones since it tries to light the burner 3 times before going into lockout. I will have to post that part number after I get back down to the coach and get a look at my spare.

We decided to visit HWH in MO while we were nearby (working in Davenport, IA) since they built our slideout rooms and leveling system (or so we thought).  We got there the night before in a torrential rain storm and the parking lot was very muddy the next morning but it had cleared up so all was well.  
We had an appointment at 10am and a tech showed up to help us around then.
We were directed to a garage bay and pulled in so we were nice and dry to deploy the slides.
Another tech came in and looked at the front and bedroom slides while they were still in and informed us that the slide rooms and electronics were made by them but the rest of the system was built entirely by Newell including the air bladder seals and hydraulic systems.  He basically said the same for the HWH leveling system.  And then he sent us on our way with a no charge bill...  So we have to take the coach to Newell for any servicing including slide seals. 
Live and learn, at least Newell is still in business and we can take it there if no other option exists (they are always a long way from us)...
