Time to sell. Reduced to firm 50k. Great shape. Needs nothing.

Not much in this part of the country, but Air Capital is a nice, new, cement pad with grass park just off I-135 on the south side of Wichita.
A little pricy at $54/nite but easy 70' pull throughs.

We got our first dusting of snow yesterday. Just a warning shot but I need to get the coach ready for some travels!
Heading to Yuma at the end of the month, anyone else going to be there?

Basement door came open while driving on rough road. It was the door for the fuel tank. When this happens it sticks out about 2 feet. Not much fun on a busy 4 lane road. I did get it to the side of the road before anyone hit it. The frame was sprung and the door wouldn't latch back. So I used the RV'ers best fixit aid "Duck tape" I only needed to go about 10 miles to my son's house. The major problem is the outside skin is coming off, it appears it is put on with doubled face tape. Has anyone had this problem? What kind of tape do you use, name etc. where do you buy it? Any suggestion will be helpful.

Our Kenmore Washer stops at the rinse cycle (at all three wash settings).
Once we manually move or adjust the control forward (beyond rinse)the cycle completes. Can the wash cycle setting/timer be repaired/ or replaced without removing the entire stack unit? Has anyone else had Kenmore washer issues/solutions?

Old- To New!

I have a air leak or several air leaks that I have not found. On the dash there are two air gauges. One has two needles, a white and a red which stays at about 100-110 pounds and the next to it is another gauge that will lose about 8-10 pounds an hour. The 120 volt comp. will come on at about 75 pounds and cut off at 95 pounds. The comp. will cycle about every 2 to 21/2 hours. I have the Inficon ultrasonic detector. This thing want pick up a thing. I can hear a air leak before it will get to the first light, and I wear hearing aids. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can blow into it fairly hard before the first light comes on. Back to the leaks I have. I know air leaks are an on going thing but is 8-10 pounds an hour excessive? I have also used soapy water with no luck. Chappell

I am gathering information on both Newells and Wanderlodges.

I have noticed this one on ebay - "1996 custom built Newell coach. 38 ft. single axle, 470hp. seriies 60 Detroit diesel"

In my work I must tow a class "B" motorhome. I am now towing it with a 40ft Beaver with a 425hp Cat. The Beaver weights only 29,016lbs so with a horsepower to weight ratio of 69lbs it is an easy pull. My question is, how would this ebay Newell tow it?

Also, this is an all electric coach. What would I expect it to be like when dry camping. Again, in my work I sometimes dry camp for months at a time. With a propane refrig and stove, I only have to run the genny for a couple of hours per day.

This ebay coach is the one from Albuquerque that originally was sign wrapped for a real estate company. Anyone have any first hand info on the condition.

Also, maybe Tom could report what he liked and disliked about his sold 38ft.

Just a quick update from Japan....Heather, boys & I are planning our excursion for next summer and hope that a mini rally is in our future...I thought I might get a chance to "pop" over and exercise Tom's girl and my new lady but Uncle Sam and the Air Force had a different plan...I am deploying Saturday for a 7 month mission in SW Asia and will hopefully be back in time for a couple of months of R&R in the BPB (Beautiful Pink Bus) nicknamed by my lovely wife! We hope to meet up with many of you next summer and I will hopefully be able to monitor the Guru's from my remote location. Can't say anymore than that but I was surprised when they issued me uniforms again! (didn't think they made them that big did you). I'm going to be in the Norfolk area from this sunday for a few days until I can catch a rotator over the other pond so if you need a wash boy and are in the neighborhood I'm your man!

We're leaving Colorado and travelling down I-70 to Wichita, KS. Then down I-135 then ?? to Miami.
Anybody have any recommendations on the route and adequate campgrounds that will easily accommodate a 45' ?
I'd rather not have to deal with any tolls so a state highway would be fine.
