I know that most of you are aware of the issues that one tank of bad diesel can cause but I thought you might like to see the visible evidence.

Back in 2008, when we were living fulltime in our coach, we left Austin on our way to Yuma, Arizona. We filled up at the Flying J in Anthony, TX. We drove on toward Yuma. After the 8 split near Casa Grande, I noticed that the coach seemed low on power. By the time we got to Wellton, it was really low on power and I thought the Fortuna Hills east of Yuma were going to be unmanageable. Got over the hills in 1st gear. Had the fuel filters changed on the engine and the oil and oil filter and fuel filter changed on the generator. I cut open the two engine fuel filters to see if that was the likely issue. The photos show what I found.



After our visit in Yuma, we drove to Newport Beach and I had a marine service company come out and filter all of my fuel and return it to the tanks. Of course I changed out the fuel filters again.

These filters had been in the coach less than 5 months and about 8,700 miles.

Today a tandem circuit breaker in our coach that operates the stove kept on shutting off. Not sure what else it runs if anything. Menards only carries 15 or 20 amp pairs. The guy there thought I may need 30 amp though since its a stove.

First off can these go bad? We have used the stove before with no issues. Second any suggestions as to amps? It does not say on the breaker what amp it is. Need to get this fixed though for this coming weekend. Thanks guys.

Hi All,
Any small parks with potential you may know and like that are "for sale" in Southern Colorado or New Mexico or any of the warmer climate States. Between 50 and 100 sites and not in "The Boonies". Appreciate any leads. PM me or [email protected].. Thanks..

My '93 doesn't have a fantastic fan in the front salon area. I'm wondering if Newell might have run the wire for one anyways. Can anybody tell if they might have? If so is there a common location where I might find it? Also if anybody has a 12V fan in your coach how far back from the windshield is it located?
Thx
Dean

I've been using the Aquahot diesel burner about a 1/2 hour each day to heat water and noticed a noise and vibration coming from the burner that sounds like maybe a bearing going bad.
No noise when just running it on electric.
Is this a replaceable part and how easy to replace it?

Anyone know what Newell charges currently for standard PM?
Oil,filters, grease, drain air tanks & labor. Just on the 60, not gen or trans.

what do you guys think of this one.

8v71 just rebuilt. was a over the road passenger bus.

i could gut the newell and put the stuff in here?

When we use our washer, we lose much more water than an average wash cycle. As an example, we can easily lose a half of tank of pure water during any given wash cycle. We have no noticeable leaks. Is there a shut-off valve that regulates the amount of water running into the washing machine from the fresh water tank and then on to the holding tank? Can water move from the pure tank through the wash machine to the holding tank vis a vis a faulty shut-off value during a wash cycle?

If so, where would the valve be located and can the valve remain slightly open while the washer is operating??

Any other thoughts???

I drive by this place every week.. Never noticed it
