  Rally projects

Most rallys end up with a few help one another projects. I am trying to decide what kind of tools and supplies to bring. For example, I usually carry my air con gauge sets but not necessarily big jugs of r22 or r134a. If you think you need AC work, then speak up.

Also, I just made a new slide out awning because my old one was ripped. In doing sew, I ended up with a sewing machine that does heavy fabric and upholstery. Does anyone need to borrow the sewing machine?

What kinds of issues do you expect the guru gang to converge on during the rally? I am just curious what the week may entail?

We all getting together at TableRock. I know on one of the other threads everyone was saying when they are getting there. Thought it might be cool to get an update on everyone's arrival date. Might be cool to meet together before and caravan in if people are coming at similar times.. We wil be arriving on Sunday.

  Breaker

My 97 Newell has a breaker in my rear breaker box that is tripped. It is labeled rear lounge outlets which is usually the bedroom I don't have. Freezer which is the one underneath in fact all the outlets and lights don't work in lower compartments on the passenger side. And finally block heater. The outlets in the lounge are fine and the outlets in the lower are fine. Could it be something associated with the block heater? Or how could I locate where the failure is that is tripping the breaker.

Howdy Gurus-
Denise and Jeff here (aka Logo Jeff as Big T calls me) we are the proud owners of Ron's 96 coach. I flew out to TN and met Ron and got a fast introduction and driving lesson same day. The following day, I started the 900 mile drive back to Oklahoma; two days and with the advice/guidance of Ron, Tom, and Richard I made it back safely with minor issues.
I can say what all of you already know; Ron is a great Guru and super nice patient gentleman.

We are trying to get some minor issues dealt with the coach and get clear for some time off work in hopes to make it to Table Rock for a few days. We live full-time in the coach and enjoy the lifestyle.

If anyone is traveling through Oklahoma City please feel free to stop by in Norman, OK just south of OKC on I-35. The park we are at is $20 per night with full hook-ups and plenty of pull through for any length (the super long pull throughs are 50amp and water...no sewer) but free dumps are available.
Plus we cook steaks for all guests Smile

I will be posting many questions and hopefully sharing some tips of our own.
FYI
My wife was also born in Miami, OK like her coach and grew up knowing Newell...I got to know Newell through my life involved in motorsports...

So we are applying to be official Noobs in the Guru Family!
Hope to meet you all!
Denise and Jeff

  Radiator overflow tank sight tube

I thought I would make a thread for this subject. As background I got some clear polycarbonate tubing from Amazon. It is the same od & id as the original radiator overflow tank sight tube. The same tube cap fits in the new tubing.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OM9...UTF8&psc=1

Tom had mentioned that the overflow tank company owner said that the sight tube required some extra work. When I removed the tube I see what was being referred to. The 1/2" od will not fit into the black vinyl hosing as it is too big. Therefore he tapered down the end to fit.

Using an open flame I heated one end of my tube and shaped it in a vise. I put a drill bit into the tube so I didn't collapse & block off the tube. I used a drill bit that matched his final hole. Mine did not come out as pretty, but it did slip into the black vinyl hosing. I clamped it and it has passed a 4 hr leak test. Now I'll have to see if it passes the operational test when we go out and hold up to the vibration.

Some one may have experience forming this material and have a better way of forming the tubing. If so please provide suggestions.

Now you know the rest of the story and can decide if you want to experiment as I have or buy a ready made set up. If some one wants to try their own experiment I can bring most of the necessary tools to the rally. The only thing I don't have is a portable vise.

I attached some photos.....................

richard, i want to see something similar on your newell. i think it is the coolest exhaust pipe ever on a bus.

this is a 45' eagle, but i an sure you could do something similar with yours.

take lots of pictures as you do it so we can have a step by step to do it yourself.

Doug, for your new coach, it isnt too late to have these added. you would be the first and a trendsetter. and when yachts buys your coach in a few years, it will already be done for him.

regards,

tom
