Last night I survived a huge storm that ripped through Arkansas and Missouri. It was one of the few times I have been in the coach during a storm.

Well during the downpour I noticed water coming in from bottom of window and onto galley counter. Its not clear where the water is coming from, but I suspect the window is not sealed well to the coach siding.

Can someone advise as to the best way to maintain the windows? Will a simple caulk on the top edge help, or do I have to take window out to create a good seal?

Thanks,
bill

When Foliver was at the farm I caught him polishing on his new coach--you know he is in that honeymoon period. He demonstrated the waterless wash/polish for me and it seemed to work pretty good. He mentioned that I should try it as it might spruce up my rig. I'm usually skeptical of these kinds of products, but I had heard others who said it worked good. My order arrived and yesterday I had a chance to use it for the first time. We had driven to Newell & back, the coach was a little dirty and we were having thunderstorms. I used the blue Wash/Wax All by applying and drying with microfiber cloths. I was very impressed! It even took off a little road tar. I used about 16 oz for the whole coach so the cost was less than $4. And Forest was right it did spruce up my coach.........thanks for the tip Forest. Big Grin

I spoke with a tech, at Newell, who was working on a Microphor air toilet. He stated the parts are still available for these toilets, but the china bowl is not. If you break a bowl you will have to replace the whole toilet with something new. A new toilet would probably have a different footprint so the flooring may be effected too. Newell no longer installs the Microphor toilets. I have two LF-210 toilets in my coach and they were common from the mid 90s into the 2000s in Newells, Prevosts and I believe Bluebirds. If some one finds a salvaged LF-210 china toilet bowl in good shape it would be worth grabbing if the price is right.

If some one needs one there is a service manual already posted in the documentation section under plumbing.

During the production tour, we were able to watch as their flooring guy was getting prepared to lay a rear bath granite floor in a new coach. On the floor of his shop he had a full size template of the rear bath for the coach the floor would eventually be installed in. He was assembling the floor, minus grouting, over the template exactly as it will be in the coach. Once he is finished assembling the floor over the template, he will install it in the coach at night after the other production crew has left. This is done so that the floor has time to dry, without losing any production time. Simply amazing how almost 50 years has tuned things so finely!

This applies to Newells with HWH slides only.

Tip: This diagram is better viewed if expanded to full screen.

This is for Newells with HWH slides only. For one slides, just pay attention to the room 1 solenoid valves. This is a 2 slide room arrangement.

Tip: This file scanned very light. Expand to full size and it is easier to read.
