Fellow Gurus, while I am in Oregon, I dodged a bullet in San Carlos, Mexico. Some of you may have been wondering how my home survived. Several friends have visited my home today and report that the only issue is a dirty pool. Boy, am I lucky. I have attached a few photos, two are a few blocks from my home showing the size of the waves, and two are of my dirty pool. Unfortunately, another hurricane is forming to the south and I can only hope to be as lucky again. Chester
This was next door to me at ozark rv resort. It still shows for sale on rv trader.
I know these can be opened or closed and my problem is that after the compressor runs and stops the solenoid stays open and air is evacuated and the compressor comes on again in 15 minutes, normally every 50 minutes. This happened exactly the same way 2 years ago and by the time I was able to address it of course it stopped and went back to normal. since yesterday this has been going and I guess I am hoping like last time it will eventually close and open when it's supposed to. I did start the engine and filled air up and there are no apparent leaks except the exhaust of the solenoid.
OK, Should I replace it and do they come with the compression fitting and air line attached ?? Will the outside temp ever affect these as it is 110 here ? Any good source or I will call direct and see if they will sell to a consumer. Any ideas on how to trigger or reset it ?
Richard please feel free to pipe in. I did try bangin on it with no change.lol...
Here is a picture of it direct from compressor line
After searching for a Wanderlodge for several months my wife and I met a couple who owned a 80 model Newell. We changed our search towards a Newell immediately. Finally after a 4 month search we acquired an 1982 model from a nice couple from Florida. She needs a little TLC but by springtime she should look glorious.
3:30 pm: 2004 Eastbound on I-40 yellow trim, yellow truck, yellow rzr. Wonder who that could have been??
We had a nice phone call with Ron. He is about 2 hours from home.
Attached is a photo of a dash vent I need to replace because it has come apart. Does anyone know the name, model and where they can be obtained?
On my way to ozark rv resort (2014 Newell gurus get together site )I Was turning into Casey's for fuel in berry vile in the rain and it was dark ,I successfully stuck the front skids on the entrance to the fuel station and the rear skids on the road. The drive wheels were barely touching. I was pulling the boat at the time.
Wrecker time!
He lifted one side so the drives in the air and put wood blocks under them then did the otherside and I was able to back of the entrance. Was blocking3 lanes of traffic for 90 mins on hwy 62.
Mine is not broken again.
However, while working on the blower a eureka moment came to me. It would be possible to remove the blower instead of the rear generator panel to jimmy the catch open. It might easier to remove the blower than the rear panel on a coach with IFS. Removing the blower opens an access hole on the same side as the catch. You might need a mirror and light if you can't crawl into the blower bay. A long pry bar will easily wedge in the catch like using a credit card to open a locked door. Thanks to Gordon Jones for that pearl.
I thought I would post this with a title that a likely search engine would find, in case someone in the future pulls the catch loose from the cable.
I know they are getting long in the tooth, and parts availability isn't what it once was - but after firing the coach up for a bit last eve - I sure love the sound of that Detroit....

I thought I heard felt a unusual rumble through the night. Examination this morning revealed that the blower absolutely ate the oilite bushing last night. It ate it so bad that the shaft wore into the hard metal of the bushing holder and scored the shaft. Now this is a problem because one, no coach power while at my mothers, two can't sleep in her house because she is a smoker and it stuffs me up, three we are supposed to leave this morning as soon as the new air bag is installed, four Grainger doesn't have a new blower in stock and it will be another day to get one. Sigh.....the kingdom is lost for want of a nail story[attachment=2606]
So, it's off to the tractor supply to see what can be done. I was lucky and found a sealed bearing with a 1 inch bore, they also had the holder for the bearing but it was four hole mounting and the fan has three spokes. I used a u clamp to bridge two holes and one spoke, and I used J hooks to capture the other two spokes.
And oh yeah, you are asking didn't i notice anything prior to such a bearing melt down. No. The pilot bushing on the side that failed split in two and actually pushed out of its holder. That why it failed so quickly.
