My coach has a cablemaster CM-7 installed for the power cord. It slips some as the cord goes in or out. I adjusted the main cable pulley and now no slippage. The procedure is simple & only took about 15 minutes. The procedure is outlined in the owners manual, but I'll repeat it in case one doesn't have the manual. If your cord slips the pulley is too loose. If you can not easily pull the cord out with the motor off, it is too tight.

The pulley adjustment is done by adding(loosen) or removing(tighten) nylon shims. The two piece pulley is held together with four 1/4" studs, nuts & lock washers. Remove the four 1/4" nuts and lock washers and the outside of the pulley easily pulls off. Each stud will have a number of shims depending on the size of your cord--mine had 3 shims on each stud. I removed one shim from each stud so as to tighten the pulley and correct the slippage. Note: the manual advises removing only one shim at a time and retest and always have the same number of shims on each stud. Each shim in mine were .030. Put the outer half of the pulley back on over the studs and put the nuts and lock washers on hand tight. Tighten the nuts on the studs as you pull and push the cable in & out so you don't pinch the cable. First by hand & then with a wrench or socket. Once tight, test your adjustment. If still slipping, then remove a second shim and retest.

Does anyone have a source to have the A/C control board rebuilt. I found one in my 1997 I have recently aquired. I would like to have a fresh one for backup. Thanks,

I was curious how my thee position "emergency start" dash switch worked, so I checked it out today. What I found is that the merge switch is off when in the middle position. My merge solenoid has only one actuating positive wire going to it. Thus, moving the dash switch either up or down does the same thing which is to activate the solenoid. There is no switching to the house or chassis battery bank.

I've called Newell, and they can't tell me, but I've seen it on other coaches of my vintage. (2003 coach 359) What do these lights indicate?

I am not satisfied with using 8D starting batteries for my house needs, and I am switching to twelve 6-volt deep cycle golf cart batteries. Attached is a photo showing how my six 8Ds are connected.

The batteries are numbered 1-6 with all grounded at the negative terminal of battery 3. As to positives, arrow A shows the positive cable from battery 3 goes to the cutoff switch and apparently supplies the house needs. However, arrow B shows that an additional positive cable connected to battery 6 which seems to be connected directly to the inverter.

From a previous posting I saved an article by Smart Gauge Electronics which shows different ways to connect multiple batteries, and the worst way is to have all of the batteries connected and the exit cables connected to one battery.

I would appreciate comments regarding the correctness of my existing setup. Would it be better if I had different grounds for the two bands and not all connected together? Should positive from one bank go to the cutoff and the other to the inverter, and should all positives be connected as they are now?

While at the Newell Coach factory we had chance to see Chris Dauughtry ( American Idol finalist ) 2015 Newell Coach which he will be using for his concerts travel.
Christopher Adam "Chris" Daughtry (born December 26, 1979) is an American musician best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the rock band Daughtry and as the fourth-place contestant on the fifth season of American Idol, the competition that he was eliminated from on May 10, 2006. After his elimination from Idol, he was given a record deal by RCA Records and formed a band called Daughtry. Their self-titled debut album became the fastest selling debut rock album in Nielsen Soundscan history,[2] selling more than one million copies after just five weeks of release. The album was recorded before the band was officially formed, making Chris Daughtry the only official member present on the album.
