I have an appointment next week in Eugene, Oregon, to have my disk brakes inspected and possibly replace my disk pads which Newell factory said were in need of service. Has anyone had experience with disk pad replacement that they would share?

I would like to change my old 12 volt incandescent lights to modern LED lights. Has anyone done this and where did you get the replacement fixtures? I do not want to just plug in a LED in my old fixture. I want to replace the light fixture completely with a very bright LED replacement.

ok,

once again, i need guru help. simple help. i am not near the coach and need some measurements so i can compute the steepest angle of driveway i can have and not bottom out on my trailer hitch.

i am making the assumption the axle to the rear on the 45'8" coach is the same distance from the end of the coach on all of them. at least in my vintage of 2002.

my coach also has the 30k lb massive trailer hitch on it with the 2 1/2" receiver. so hopefully some of you have the same setup.

so, i need the measurement when you are at ride height of the lowest part of the hitch to the ground.

then i need the distance from that lowest part of the hitch to the back tire where it contacts the ground first

that way i can calcuate the angle that is maximum that i can have as a slope.

thanks guys

tom

There is a guy that has developed a free application for the Ipad that mimics a glass dash. You will need to purchase a Canpod interface that plugs into your coach diagnostic port. It sends a WIFI signal to your Ipad with all the information. Total cost is under 900 bucks not including the ipad. Considering how much a glass dash costs installed, this is a bargain if you want to convert.

I joined the forum today and am looking forward to gaining knowledge and sharing knowledge. We purchased our Newell coach 621 about a year ago. Previously, we owned a Lance. What a difference!!! LOL!!!! I am extremely pleased with Newell quality. Currently, we are doing a full maintenance front to back getting ready for our trip from Texas to Ohio. A few things were found that were either overlooked by the previous owner or by the shop that did the maintenance for us last year. My mechanic, who works for me full time, did a great job. We now have a peace of mind as these items would have caused us headaches during our trip. I am a firm believer in regular maintenance. Thanks again for the invite!!!
