I have the complete cover panel off the water manifold to repair a larger leak and have since found 3 more smaller slow drip leaks. I get one fixed and here comes another. The first one was the 90 at the top of the cut offs, so I ordered some seals and a new 90 from Newell. There are at least 7 of these 90s which are not common stock at Lowes or plumbing supply houses. Got that repaired, then noticed a small drip at the Head Hunter water inlet connection. Took it off and it had a small crack in the plastic threaded connection. So ordered a new one along with a check valve. Installed that and thought I was finished. Then found a small drip at the 90 that goes to the water filter, took it off and used one of the spare seals Newell send me. I am hoping this will do it. I am now contacting Chuck at Newell to order some more of the parts. They are not expensive. These are leaks I probably would have never found or paid any attention to if I had not had the panel off. So if the floor of the water compartment has any signs of dampness you probably have a leak. Chappell

Mounted on the right wall, (within the wheel-well on the passengers side of my dual rear tires and next to the battery bay) is a tube like (approx. 20" x 5") devise. I have isolated a continuous grinding on /off noise coming from this devise… Any thoughts what this devise is used for and why the noise?

    This is the push on seal for my bay doors. Most on my coach are worn out after 29 years. I spoke with Chuck at Newell and he said he did not have them but that they probably would have bought them from Austin Hardware. He said it was likely model number PL 7100 but I have searched their site and googled for this seal to no avail.

Do any of you have a suggestion of some sites I can search for this part? I will post a few pics in a moment.

On the maiden short trip with my better half, (very important), we took a 100 mile trip. We stopped for lunch and when we attempted to start the newly acquired 2000 #551, no luck. Just "click, click". After contemplating wreckers, taxis, or hitchhiking, I called the Newell number. After a while, Jim called me back and told me of the wonderful start switch near the batteries. Bingo!

Today I added water to the engine batteries, load checked them, (showed 12.3 V and moved to the green area on load), then checked the alternator by comparing battery voltage before and after starting, (12.3V then 13.5V).

Jim said he suspected problems with the solenoid and switches between the ignition and the starter. Not sure how this is done. Also, thinking of removing all connections, cleaning, and replacing.

Key to me is it starts right off when using the aft switch, but not always the ignition, especially after a road trip. Any help would be appreciated.

while backing up the screen flickered a couple times and then the picture disappeared. The screen is still lit up, but no picture. Anyone have this experience? How would I check for the culprit?

Short Intro…I’m Curt Sprenger. My wife Betty and I live in Anaheim Hills, CA. We own a Blue Bird Wanderlodge motor coach and have been interested in Newell coaches for some time. I spend time over on the Wanderlodge GuRu and Wanderlodge Owners Group sites and plan to spend time here as well.

Several years ago four of us formed the Birds of a Feather (BoF) RV group. We organize the Annual Blue Bird Quartzsite, AZ rally that is held the latter part of January during the Big White Tent RV Show. We encourage others to join us. When you have time, click on this link https://birdsofafeather1.shutterfly.com/ then enter the flocktogether password, and take a look at what we’ve been up to the past few years. On the left is the information for the upcoming Quartzsite rally, and the “One Extreme to the Other Road Trip” that follows right after the Quartzsite rally. We hope you will join us.
