hi all,

i am going to buy the flojet macerator system. i want it to be portable.

what adapter can i use to go from the dupree valve at the coach to the flojet? the flojet is set up to go on a coach valterra valve.

i would like a clear one to see the progress.

have any of you don that? i have a spare dupree elbow.

While traveling how is the coach cooled? Is it necessary to run generator to run air conditioner?

The European style hinges used in all of the overhead cabinets
are slowly being breaking in my 1988 Newell. The last one broke on a large cabinet in the bathroom when I hit a chuck hole on the interstate.

After using up all the hinges purchased by previous owner from
Newell (purchased in 2005). I searched to find replacements.
See photos for example of broken hinges. They break where
the screw passes through the casting.

I bought enough bases to fix all my broken hinges and also
some extra hinges.

The hinges consisted of what appears to be a 100 degree BLUM MODUL hinge and a BLUM face mounting plate. A screw holds
the hinge and the base together.

(The face mounting plate has a set of small ears that protrude
over the edge of the cabinet).
Number on mounting plate casting was
old 198 860-1 (and 22 inside a circle)
new 198 660-01.22
I found them at www.HardwareSource.Com (San Diego CA)

100 degree BLUM MODUL hinge 652001 $1.99 each
BLUM face frame mounting plate 652008 $1.97 each
#7 screw for European and BLUM H 268009 1.99 for 50 screws

There was a note on the web site stating that many carpenters
used #6 screws on the hinges instead of #7 screws and this
would cause them to eventually break.

   

On my way home from Denver to Tulsa I had a warning on my DDEC Pro Driver. (TPS Circuit Fail Low) it also had Check engine light on. What does this mean and how do I fix it? Should I worry, will my engine shut down or blow up? Thanks for your help. My unit is #516, 1999, I have just over 100,000 miles

We have been in Ouray, Co for a week. Ron Skeen and wife Jean are also here. Ron has completely reduced me to a limp dish rag... I can hang no longer......After climbing mountains, heights of nearly 14,000ft. My hats off to this Champion! I taken a day off to wash my coach, which seems like a picnic compared to riding with Ron in his RZR. (He left again this morning for another 60 mile ride.) Jean has gone over to Telluride for lunch and shoppin. Connie is taking art lessons with a (famous Artist who is in town) for a few days. We may consider staying thru Sept...Weather has been all over the place, Sun, Rain, Warm, Cold. but never HOT.
Can you say Cocktails, and lounge chair?

Last I've heard, Larry and James may be headed this way.

Well, guess it's my turn. Yesterday I noticed that breaker #7 was tripped. This is marked as A/C #2 so I am assuming it is for the 2nd compressors on the SCS basement units. I tracked it down to the front A/C that trips the breaker as soon as I turn the fan from Lo to Hi (which on my thermostat is how to control whether only 1 compressor LO or both compressors HI come on). I checked the breaker wires and they are tight, checked the 120v wires on both a/c circuit boards and on the rear they were tight. On the front a/c they were snug so I tightened them. But when I switch the 2nd compressor to on the breaker trips immediately.
The fans appear to be working on both front and rear.
Suggestions?

A while I tried using the curb-side dump and it wouldn't work. I'll try again this morning but wondering if anyone knows where the fuse would be?
I looked in all the obvious places but didn't find one.

Has anyone found a better radiator for our series 60's than Atlas?
It seems to have some inherent problems and not built as well as we would expect.
Surely a custom radiator shop could build a better one if we could find the specs.

I have wondered about the accuracy of the fuel mileage function. At home I filled the fuel tank to overflow on a level floor. On the next fuel stop I filled to overflowing on a level pad. I used the low tech method of figuring mpg--pencil & paper. I then compared my results with the DD ProDriver & it matched to a tenth.

Saw a red and black 2000 series newell east bound on 1-10 in San Antonio. Beautiful coach. Paul
