Spent yesterday re-tracing all of our steps to fix my genny and still no luck. Checked for good ground and was not that...finally called the Kohler folks and they referred me to some folks in Des Moines. Will have it checked out on monday. Called the tech and he asked alot of good questions and basically said that the reason the genny won't stay running is due to the fact it will not transfer the load and carry the power back. He said it was a system design. So hopefully we will have gen capabilities monday sometime.. as it is beginning to warm up and driving w/o genny ac made me reminisce of my college days driving across country in a 72 Super Beetle one summer and I'm too old and fat for that!
Will keep you all posted.

Just spotted a 2008 Newell at Bow Riversedge Campground in Cochrane, Alberta. Talked with Milton ? the owner, from North Carolina.

We are still in Spearfish visiting friends for a few days before we head home. We really enjoyed the rally and the opportunity to meet so many Gurus that I felt I already knew based on their posts.

I am willing to start work on a rally in Austin at La Hacienda RV Resort (the site for the 1st Newell Mini-Rally back in 2009) if anyone is interested. As many of you know, deep winter and summer are NOT optimal times for rallies in Texas unless the potential for ice or sweltering heat are your thing. Therefore, Spring or Fall would be optimal.

If there is no interest that is fine. If there is, give me some feedback and we can see if we can work out some potential dates.

Yesterday whenever I'd press my brake pedal the rear camera would lose the picture. Today it would come on but no picture, just a white screen.
It looks like I'll have to pull the top of the dash off to access the back of the monitor to check the wires. This is the original Sony B&W.
How do I access the camera in the back? It looks like there is a panel in the center cabinet in the rear closet that might come out.
I know some of you have changed out your camera so how'd you get to it?
Thanks!

Cleaned up the coach today from Spearfish and drive it out to where we store it. Turned off the key and pressed the engine stop switch and nothing happened. Not sure if this is now also related to my rear electrical issues with lights working and then not etc which everyone believes to be a loose ground. I had to go to the back of the coach and depress the engine stop button there to kill the engine.

Ideas or suggestions?

A special thanks to Tom and Darlene for all the hard work and organizational skills, sewing talent and gifts. The rally could not have been any better.

Great place to stay, great cooks and things to learn. It doesn't get much better!! Thanks to John and Vicki Clark and Newell for all the support and the gifts as well as the information.

At the rally Larry's generator had been overheating. So a few of us walked over to look at it. I immediately saw the problem since my old '93 had the same issue. Where the filler neck is soldered to the tank was leaking. So (with much supervision) Larry cleaned it up and JB welded it.
This morning while doing my pre-trip checks I noticed mine was starting to leak! So the teacher becomes the student and my homework will be to repair mine once we get to Cochrane for a week.
So like John Clarke said when you do something look at everything "within 3 feet".

Yesterday while driving towards Sheridan, WY my cruise control quit working and my VMSPC started acting weird, some of the gauges would go to 0 then after a few minutes would come back. And whenever I would press my brake pedal the rearview camera would go blank, it would stay on but would lose the picture. Then it would take a few seconds for the gauges to update.
Also once I hooked up to electric my inverter panel showed an E-13 error (battery 2 sense leads open) I checked the battery and it was fine. I checked the fuses and wires under the kick panel and all looked ok.
This was the first time I used my cb radio, which didn't work right. I could only transmit or receive about 100 yards. I eventually turned it off but not sure if it was related to the other problems or not.
Any ideas?

Rudy Leggett was kind enough to give an Aquahot seminar at the rally.
Here a few pictures of the burner assembly:

I've used these in the past and they give you a much better connection.
Might be the thing for our basement a/c wires. Unfortunately I've only found them in a box of 100. I'd like 20-25 if others want to split a box.
