Since getting our '98, we have had a water pressure issue in the kitchen and shower. Bathroom sink, toilet and outside bib are fine.

So far, we've done the following

- Soaked shower head and faucet head in vinegar (marginal improvement)
- Changed water pressure regulator in plumbing bay (nada)
- Replace cartridge in kitchen faucet handle (some improvement )
- Removed old giant water filter in plumbing bay (couldn't get parts anyway, but no improvement)
- Replaced filter cartridge in small filter in plumbing bay (slight improvement )
- Added two large external filters ( no change)

Grohe fixture in kitchen, unknown in shower.

Driving me crazy!

Howdy Guru's-
Denise and Jeff here...traveled from the 'old site' were we were lurkers/wannabes.
We have been looking and learning about Newell's and have had the great pleasure to speak to several of the forum members.
We are actively looking to buy and have already eliminated our house and are full-timing in a 5'ver...proved the model/lifestyle...so now it is "Newell Time" Big Grin

I married a Miami, Okie gal and she grew up knowing the Newell product.
So easy sell there...just had to make sure the RV down-sized lifestyle was for us...and we both love it more than we thought!

Looking at late 80's thru the 90's...

Hope to learn more and will contribute when we can.

We are in Norman, OK

Happy Trails.
D & J

I have fabricated a 1/2" pipe clamp to compress the 4 gas springs that lift the rear engine cover. The pipe is long enough to compress the 28" springs and I ground down the pipe clamp edges to 1 & 3/16" to fit in between the spring housings. I will bring it to So. Dakota if anyone wants to us it to change out their springs. Photos attached.

Guys when our beast comes out of storage this spring I need to replace the kitchen faucet, the bathroom faucet and the shower. Couple of them leak a bit which is fixable but my wife does not like the looks of them so she would rather I replace them. Can I use replacements from any store or do I have to buy fixtures made for an RV specifically for any reason?

This is an '04, 4 slides, 4 roof airs, opposing sofas in livingroom, detroit series 60, Valid leveling system and a rear bath. Unclear if it has a 1/2 bath and the steerable tag. Looks like a good price for a '04 with only 62,000 miles.

        Hello,
Having problem with two molding strips on one side of teh coach ! each end of teh molding just starting to come off and warp up due to sun and heat ! Wanted to get opinion if what would you do before glueing back together to get the shape back in?
I have good clamps on hand , shoudl I just use clamp with out worry trying bto get all straight?
If I did teh glue process or double tape durring the hotest time of day and just camp all well , I would think it should all work?

Thanks for any input you might have.
