Resting in Twin Fountians today. Red Jeep towed.
   

How has everyone attached the tv to the door

I am planning to make a fold up table in the salon area below the passenger side window. I am interested in any pics of such that Newell built into your coach, especially the fold up feature.
Thank you!!

Hello,
We just left Indio,s Motor Coach Country Club and right now in Zion National Park in UT and heading more in to UT canyons after 5 days here in Zion River Resort
After parking our coach I heard whistling noise and noticed our air tank has big air leak!! I can locate buy placing my finger right in the center of the left side of the tank!looks like it will get larger and larger leak with time!
Is anyone here have replaced on their own, if so, what was the right order! disconnect both air ports , looks like in mine I would need to pull out the air fan motor right below case the tank is long and big around 20"x7" or so!

I checked with several trucks stops but with out much luck , plus we are on the road traveling!

What would you suggest to do ?

Can we drive with the leak and wait to get to bigger city to fix it? It looks like compressor keeps up with.

Also, I was thinking to just order on on line and replace myself since we are on the road !I found same size 3 gallon tank but with 3 1/2" ports !!! Can I just put 1/4" reducer on one port and for the relief Valve I am sure I can find the solution with right size!

Most of the tanks are rated for 120-150psi , would that work!
I send the email to Newell and see what I come up with but I figure I ask here as well!


Thanks,

I want to disable the alternator output on the generator.
Which wire would I disconnect to do this, without harming the alternator?
I don't want to remove the belt.
I will put a switch so I could enable it if needed. When driving and running the generator that alternator senses the house (LiFePO4) batteries as full so it cuts the amps output and the volts go to 14. This causes the engine alternator to shut down. Which is how I have the Balmar regulator programmed. But the engine batteries aren't getting any charge so they slowly start discharging.

Here is a little ditty I wrote. More to come! (I couldn't figure out how to attach it. Kept giving me the message "this thread is not available", or something like that.

Big Blue

“Let’s fulltime!”
“Okay! Let’s DO it!”

And we were outta there.

Actually, it didn’t happen that fast. We have been rv’ing since 2000. Did the normal stuff. Started out tent camping and complaining when one of those smelly big things pulled in and who cares if they have their own toilets, fridge and showers? Obviously, we did, cause we got our first rv, a GMC, then moved up to a Barth, then down to a Roadtrek (Gary couldn’t stand up straight in it) then back up to an Allegro Bus, AND THEN.... to a monster. But a kind, friendly, beautiful monster, our Newell, number 729, our gentle giant.

We sold our six acres, house and barn on the Chama River in New Mexico. And along with it our mini donkeys, chickens, tractor, four-wheeler and 8 koi. We graciously threw in the pond care, the 24/7 mowing, the mosquitoes, the pocket gophers, our propane, telephone, satellite, television, and electrical expense at no extra charge.

We then traveled to the Newell factory in Miami, Oklahoma. Actually, the Okies pronounce it Miam-UH. Obviously to differentiate it from the one in Florida. The similarities are astounding.

And lo and behold, we found our monster, our very own Big Blue. And it had everything. Four slides, all electric, dishwasher! What more could a girl ask for? We were amazed at the technology that Newell had ten years ago. Yes, it’s ten years old, but who cares? The only thing our bus had over it was the side cameras on the turn signals. I think I would trade that for the push button shades.

So we leave Camp Newell with a song in our heart. Until we realized this was not just a monster, it was a whole new animal. We had to unlearn as much as learn. But with the continuous help of Newell’s 24/7 service we did fine! Gary was most reluctant to call, but I didn’t hesitate. Cresley, Mike, Curtis, Ryan, others whose names escape me... remember me? “Susie”. I can just see them rolling their eyes when they heard my name. But each time (and I am sure I interrupted more than a few sit down dinners) they were terrific, and most helpful to these Newell newbies.

Let’s see, what are our favorites? The dump procedure would have to rate right up there at the top. At least that’s what Gary tells me. I’m not even sure where to find it on Big Blue. And the Gaggenau cook top. No more trying to get that dern propane cook top lit. And how could I leave out the dishwasher? Of course, I had one in the other rv’s, but Gary didn’t always dry them that well.

The oohs and aahs Big Blue receives are legendary. Every campsite we pull into it attracts immeasurable attention. (And even freebies, like chocolate chip cookies, from the campsite owners) Gary loves pointing out all the exterior features and I love pointing out the crystal wine and old fashioned glasses, compliments of Newell.

Life, however, is not perfect. There are some downsides. Or rather, one downside. The money pit bay. Unfortunately the 24/7 hotline doesn’t tell us how to run it on cooking oil. But I BET they could upgrade that!

In Nacogdoches this afternoon Rudy Legett will arrive and tomorrow Roger Berke along with Bill Johnson. Rudy and Roger are here to have some things looked after at our friend Bernd's shop and Bill needs to have his Aqua Hot repaired. It seems that Roger has developed a fix for leaking at the filler cap which has plague a lot of us. I found out that I had this problem last year at Spearfish. Finally after a number of tries got it fixed.
Bill has this problem and it is going to be interesting to observe Rogers and Rudys technique in solving it.
We will also go over to Motor Homes Of Texas and meet everyone there and introduce Roger and Bill. Everyone there already knows Rudy. It is going to be a good week.

Received this as a mailing:

i think one of you gurus should buy this.
