My Air Pump has been running every 25 minutes. I have soap tested everything I know and no Leaks. Took Linda outside because her ears are not ruined by jet engines like mine. Right away she said the air water separator in the rear was leaking. I had sprayed that and no bubbles. Could not understand why. Got a small zipplock bag filled it up with water, submerged the  separator in water bubbles everwhere. Painted the inside with superglue, pump runs once every 2.5 Hours.

I got to thinking the other day about how folks use their coaches.  Some live full time and only move with the seasons, some are out almost every weekend, others don't move theirs often at all.  So...how many miles are on your coach?

I saw this coach at Newell last week.  I heard that it is The Steve Miller Band's old coach and had 2 million miles on it. The rumor is that it will be totaled.  Shame to see a such a well traveled and obviously well loved coach end this way.

Greetings From Iowa,

My wife, 4 of our girls and I are going on a short trip August 13 to 16.  Looking to see if anyone is camping along the Mississippi River in Eastern Iowa?  We're going to spend the 13th and 14 at the Fossil & Prairie Center outside Rockford, Iowa.  Then we're going over to Effigy Mounds Park the 15th and 16th.  

Just looking to meet a couple more Gurus and looking for any recommendations on county, state and federal parks in NE Iowa.


Thanks,
Roy...

pulled in to park today ,and all of the sudden feels like no power steering.. Hydraulic tank is full no leaks under the coach.. But super hard to turn steering wheel.. Gonna stay here tonite and maybe tomorrow nite.. Is it safe to drive if I have to wrestle it to get it home? Ideas?

I am having problems with a 1981 Newell 12.5 kw Kohler/Perkins gen set.

It will start & run cold, maintaining normal water temp and oil pressure. When I shut it off, it will not restart...dash mounted start/stop switch becomes inactive. The next day it will start...no problem. I have grounded out low oil pressure switch and high temp switch to check safety shutdown...but no change while running.

The shut down system appears to be faulty. It is equipped with an unusual reset switch located near the passenger side main fuse panel.

Does anyone know how this works??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Mike

Had a chance to hire newells delivery service.. had a hydraulic leak in a hose camping world replaced earlier this spring.. Newell fixed it called me today and said it was ready. Asked if they deliver and how much?

.29 cents a mile both ways for a total of 320 miles for driver
.20 cents per mile for car for return trip of 160 miles. 
Plus 9 gallons of gas  at 2.50 for car
Plus 15$ for drivers meals.. 

Total cost was like a165$ and saves me a whole day of driving ..I would have spent 40$ myself easy just in gas and meals. 

Pretty neat service

Going to start shopping for a trailer to pull behind the coach. It will be hauling the Jetta and other paraphernalia (bicycles, tools, etc ). When not in 'use' it will be storage as we currently live in the coach. 

Curious what features should I look for in a trailer? Will probably go extra height and @ least 5200 lb axles. Will install a few cabinets and storage. On down the road we'll wire for electric and install A/C.

Just wondering those who do, or have pulled trailers what do you wish it would have, or did have?

I posted previously that I replaced by six house 8D (starter) batteries with twelve 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batteries. (model GC2).  My ProSine inverter is set to stop inverting at 10 volts, and provides power for 8 to 10 hours for essential equipment.  However, at 10 volts cutoff, the deep cycle batteries are still at about 80% charge.  It seems to me that deep cycle batteries should withstand more discharge than that.  I am a novice at this, but would appreciate any advise as to resetting my inverter to better utilize the deep cycle feature of these batteries. 

Hi folks

What's the plan of attack when the genny fires up and runs fine, switch is rotated to genny power yet no 110 power. Suggestions? Thanks.
