Many of the 2000 vintage coach have tube lights on either side of the sink. I have never really thought about how to change the bulb, but today it became clear to me how to access the bulbs on the top and bottom of the tube.

(For many of you this is completely obvious, but incase you are technically challenged like me read on)

It turns out to be pretty simple. Just grasp the tube firmly and try to slide it UP. Mine were siliconed in at the top to secure...but if you twist the tube, you should be able to break the bond.

Once you can slide the tube up, you can then lift out the bottom end. This will give you access to the top and bottom halogen light pucks.

Re-installing goes in the reverse order. A little dab of silicone will hold the tube from bouncing and falling out.

Cheers,
bill
ps. The bottom trim piece was siliconed to the back wall and will slide out if you pull hard enough. (see pics).

As Mike at Newell told me, I'm spending way too much time under the coach. The time was well spent since I now have a diagram of how most of it is hooked up. I'm attaching a PDF of the system exclusive of the braking parts. I'm sorry that I couldn't figure out how to get it to display in landscape mode so you will have to print it to read it, probably.

I added an isolation valve just between the rear pressure gauge and the rear 6 pack. This helps with troubleshooting leakage. I also plan to add a valve and gauge at the rear distribution block so that I can isolate that part of the system and determine leakage rate.

My hopes are that this information will speed up the search for air leaks. I'm now down to about 8 psi/hour from about 45psi/hour. The latest leak I found was the pressure switch for the dash warning light.

A big thank you to the guys at Newell. I dropped 701 off 2 weeks ago for some paint work and a smal punch list of items. When I had purchased it, the tire pressure monitor system was not working and I figured since that was not working when I bought it And it was an after market add on I was just going to be without it. Since mine has the 365 upgrade tire blowouts have not been an issue On those tires. Well Newell noticed it wasn't working and it was just like I had on 512.. When I picked it up they had replaced it with a full8 tire pressure pros system! And didn't charge me because they said when we sell you a coach we warranty everything. Thank you Newell

As a survivor of a LF tire blow out I take this very seriously. I post this as a reminder to not take chances with your tires & check them often. Both of these folks survived, but had serious injuries.

I'm writing this post for the readers of the forum who are not Newell owners. The forum is a great place to lean on others experiences in fixing and tinkering with things. On the other hand when a non Newell owner reads the forum, he/she might get the impression that Newell owners are constantly having to deal with problems. Therefore I thought I'd reflect on our recent trip of 1700 miles to our favorite resort down on the gulf. The Newell performed absolutely perfectly over eleven days. Some might be surprised considering my coach is now 15 years old. We used every system on the coach, every thing worked and never had to go to the tool box or spend any time diagnosing a problem. Not even a light bulb. The performance of the Newell just made the trip that much more fun! I'm on my fifth year of Newell ownership and couldn't be more pleased.

Good looking coach!
