Tom,
What do I have to do for Newell Gurus to recognize my PC? It recognizes my laptop, but on my PC I have to log in each time. Thanks Chappell

I find that my 2 8d starter batteries need a charge every week or so. I guess I have some parasitic loads on them.
Will this tender work or should I need one for each battery or a larger one:

http://www.amazon.com/Yuasa-YUA1200901-S...OT+Charger

Also where would be the best place to run a permanent cable for 110v for this?
The closest receptacle is in one of the basements in the middle of the coach, kinda far to fish a cable.

My '93 has what appears to be one of those "cube" heaters in the bay. It is not working. I'm wondering if anybody has had to replace the heater. What did you replace it with?

I'm going through some maintenance items before winter storage (running behind schedule as usual).
I have a couple of electrical questions:
I have one dead and one weak battery to replace.
The alternator is fried, I think caused by the dead battery and age (original). It's not rebuildable.
#1:
I have two 8d's for starting and two 8d coach batteries I see a few posts in other forums recommending replacing 8d's with 3 group 31's. Pros/cons of replacing the start batteries with two new 8d's and the coach with 6 deep cycle group 31's. Will different batteries charge ok when the engine is running and when plugged in or should I just keep all 8d's? I have had very good luck with Interstate group 31's in my previous camper and boats and can get them from my local store for a very good price ($30).

#2:
The converter / charger appears to be original, it only charges at 11.5 volts (per meter and nameplate data), this seems pretty low to charge or even maintain them.
I'm considering a Progressive Dynamics 70 amp converter with the charge wizard, I'm hoping this will provide more life and better performance for the new batteries, is it worth doing?

Thanks

Scott

Anybody know where the oil pressure sender for the DDEC is located?
Just got a call from Mark, he's on the side of the road. His DDEC shutdown his engine on low oil pressure. His dash gauge shows pressure so he thinks it may be a sensor. But where is it?

my series 60 engine display shows i have 0 oilpressure and is shutting down the engine. my analog dash gague shows it is fine.. but the ddec wont let me drive more than a few hundred yards. before it shuts down.. doesnt the shutdown overide suppose to let me drive? any ideas is helpful.. im guessing opil pressure sensor is bad. Newell thinks its ok anyone have any ideas?

Here we go again, it's an old subject but I'm in need of air bags (4) for replacement of my old ones on the steer axle. To the best of my knowledge they have a Firestone bellows number of ITI5LL2 and I'm not positive but believe the Firestone air bag number is either FAW013589447 or 445. The coach is a 94. Can anybody verify either of the numbers and send me in the right direction to find some. I've been told that they are not easily available and could require a 2-3 month wait time for Firestone to produce. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING FELLOW NEWELLERS!

Hello,
My name is Russ Davis, I have been a silent but observant member, on the Newell Gurus, for some time now. My wife Debbie and I are recent, June'13, fulltime travelers from Ohio and have owned several motorhomes in our nineteen years of camping. We have owned, for the last five years, a 1999 Freightliner Century Class 8 semi-truck converted in 2006 to a 40' Motorhome. We bought the rig from the builder who has converted about a dozen used over-the-road tractors in the last few years as a hobby and does a nice job! We are considering upgrading to a Newell as research has convinced us they are arguably the best built, reliable rigs on the road today! Rig #428 the 38' Newell built in 1996 that you folks saw on Ebay awhile back is owned, app. 7-8 yrs., by my wifes' cousin in Az..We had been around the bus off & on for the time he had owned it, and I asked if he decided to sell, I would appreciate first dibs on purchase. Well, in the process of getting final closing on properties in Ohio, downsizing and preparing Truck for F/T travel,etc. he calls and says he's selling and wants to know if we are still interested…well,yeah but…can't hardly sell truck as we are leaving Ohio in a few days. So I told him if he could sell, go ahead and I would advertise ours as we were heading West and would be in Az. in fall and could negotiate then or whatever. Well, he nor I, have sold, but after seeing rig in person again last night, I am considering a consignment company in Phoenix or Tucson and accepting his great offer for his bus! I like the size and although I know most of you are believers in 45' and slides, I just can't get over the maintenance problems I've heard war stories about slide units. We like smaller units and as few problems as we can have! If anyone has any comments on his rig, besides what I've heard,fastest Newell ever built, molehills out of Mtns. and owned as an office previously, I would appreciate. Thanks, Russ

My Jun-Aire appears to have stop running…
Is there a fuse to check?
How do I check to see if the Jun-Aire compressor is dead?
Oil level is fine…
Any thoughts???
Tom
