hi all,

i have a digital gauge for the genny coolant temp over my head in the drivers seat. right below the stereo reciever.

it reads "low" all the time. so i ran a test wire from the gauge directly to the genny temp sender and the gauge works. so it is between the genny and the gauge.

any experience on where in the world that wire runs to get to the genny?

even which pilar up front it goes down?

No system leaks and pressures up to 100lb and stays there. System works fine on both city water and aux pump, but have noticed pressure going from strong to weak back and forth in all modes. In the morning I will take apart the red hat valve and clean the membrane. Have had a lot of sand in the water in Colo and have cleaned out screens in the fixtures. Any other ideas ?????????????? I have re primed and reset everything a few times and water filters all fairly new.....If Richard pipes in and tells me its the red hat for sure, I will sleep better ...lolol

I am in a California RV park for several weeks and I tried to connect to the parks water supply. My plan was to use the city water pressure and supply, close the valve closest to the tank to accumulate black water, and drain the grey water continuously. The tank filled but the auto shut off valve did not stop the water from overflowing the tank. If the auto shut off valve works properly when the tank is full, how do I take advantage of the cities water pressure without having to use my pump? Am I using an incorrect procedure to connect to the city water supply?

We've been doing a bit of riding here in North Fork, Idaho. Idaho is pretty lenient, no permits required, no problem riding on the highway. Some of the rides were from the campground, others we hauled 20 or 30 miles.
Here are a few pictures of the area:

I have a 1999 Newell, 45 ft. #516. It has Koni shocks on the front, p/n 90-1710SP3. Max. length (mm)19.7638, Min. length 13.4252. I would like to replace the two up front because of a noise I hear when I hit a bump. To me it sounds kind of like the rubber squeak of the old motor mounts of a flathead Ford. I haven't been able to find these or a replacement part. Does anyone have these on there RV or know where I can find a replacement for them? Thanks Gang,
Bob Standeford,

The European style hinges used in all of the overhead cabinets
are slowly being breaking in my 1988 Newell. The last one broke on a large cabinet in the bathroom when I hit a chuck hole on the interstate.

After using up all the hinges purchased by previous owner from
Newell (purchased in 2005). I searched to find replacements.
See photos for example of broken hinges. They break where
the screw passes through the casting.

I bought enough bases to fix all my broken hinges and also
some extra hinges.

The hinges consisted of what appears to be a 100 degree BLUM MODUL hinge and a BLUM face mounting plate. A screw holds
the hinge and the base together.

(The face mounting plate has a set of small ears that protrude
over the edge of the cabinet).
Number on mounting plate casting was
old 198 860-1 (and 22 inside a circle)
new 198 660-01.22
I found them at www.HardwareSource.Com (San Diego CA)

100 degree BLUM MODUL hinge 652001 $1.99 each
BLUM face frame mounting plate 652008 $1.97 each
#7 screw for European and BLUM H 268009 1.99 for 50 screws

There was a note on the web site stating that many carpenters
used #6 screws on the hinges instead of #7 screws and this
would cause them to eventually break.

On my way home from Denver to Tulsa I had a warning on my DDEC Pro Driver. (TPS Circuit Fail Low) it also had Check engine light on. What does this mean and how do I fix it? Should I worry, will my engine shut down or blow up? Thanks for your help. My unit is #516, 1999, I have just over 100,000 miles
