In what seems like a never ending quest to find all air leaks, I have now repaired the air tank that sits above the genset blower in the first basement compartment on the right side for the third time. The inside of the tank is rusty due to the previous owners not draining the tank. I have looked at production air tanks but can not find one that is the same size with the same size pipe thread air ports. The original has a 1/4 npt port on the bottom, 1/4" npt port on the end and a 1/2" port on top. The tank is 6" in diameter and 23" long. The tank is a 2.5 gallon.

Has anyone replaced this tank, with a like tank, on their coach? If so what was your source?

Has anyone replaced this tank with an aftermarket tank on their coach? Which one did you use?

Does anyone know someone who builds custom air tanks?

PS: Not all Newells have this air tank

hi all,

in my coach there are 3 different fans supplying air from the aquahot heaters.

1. is the plenum in the bay that is discussed in a different thread in this section.

2. there are whisperfans that are self contained under the kitchen counter, in the bedroom and rear bath. they are wide and narrow. they have two computer like fans mounted to the back to blow air across the coils into the rooms.

3. then there is a similar unit that on mine is in the half bath and in boxes at the driver and passenger ankles. this uses a more squarish unit that has a larger single computer style fan on it.

the unit under the kitchen counter on mine had one of the two fans burned out. you can buy them from aquahot or parts suppliers.

but as usual, i wanted to source them myself.

you have to look at 4 things on these fans.
a. CFM rating....how much air they move
b. noise in db. how loud are they
c. current draw
d. temperature rating

the fan that was on the unit originally was a Silentfan SKUD12B4

it was 46CFM, 31db, 2600rpm, 2.9watts and rated at -20 to 70 degrees C. or about -4 to 158 F. the aquahot on mine gets to around 150 degrees at the register for the air coming out.

there are two types of computer fans. one has ball bearings and one has sleeve for a bearing. the sleeve bearing fans are only rated from -20 to 60C or -4 to 140F. so i opted for one like the original that was ball bearing.

Silentfan is no longer available unless you want to buy in quantities of 500-1000 and i didnt figure i could get that many of you to do a group buy. i think i got up to 3 or something like that.

so i compared fans. these are used in a variety of equipments so shopping is plentiful.

for the dual fan smaller whisper heater i ended up with a fan that was sold by http://www.mynewfan.com/servlet/StoreFront it is a 92mm across and 25mm thick. same as the one i took out

the guy who owns it is very helpful and friendly.

i bought the AD0912HB-A73GL http://www.mynewfan.com/servlet/the-619/...ase/Detail

for ten bucks

i bought enough to replace both fans on the unit.

it is 2400rpm, .08amps or about 1 watt, 44CFM, 31db.

as you can see from his site, you can get higher CFM fans, but they are noiser. i wanted it to have the lowest noise with acceptable air flow. so i went with one that was very close to the original.

they are screwed on from the back of the heater unit and didnt take too long to change out. very quiet and nice airflow.

next is the change the noisy fan that is on the unit in the mid bath.

i bought two different fans with different CFM to see how they sounded. it is a 120mm wide and 25mm thick unit. i bought two different ones to try. a 72cfm and 99cfm. of course the more cfm, the louder it is.

it is much more difficult to change since i have to actually take the unit out of the coach since the fan is riveted on and there is no room for power tools in the little area the unit is in.

the bearing are going out on that fan so it works fine but is very noisy.

the others are all ok.

thought you might be interested.

We are the Appel's (Bill, Heather, Will & Ian) and we are the proud new owners of coach 236. We live in Northern Japan (Misawa) and both Heather & I work for the Department of defense....We have two great sons, Will (16) and Ian (15) that keep life interesting daily. We purchased a Class C Winnebago and traveled more than 6,000 miles last year showing our great countries (Canada & U.S) to our boys. While on the road I envied all the folks driving the air ride diesel pushers and I convinced the boys to make the air brake sound "shoosh" any time we saw a diesel pusher....In order to shut us up Heather suggested we search for a nice used one.....Well, one thing led to another and sight unseen I made a decision to buy Tom's 1990 Coach. You all are mostly to blame as I kept reading your posts about how Tom's coach is a beauty and no one will find a nicer old coach....So Tom agreed to sell me his girl and hopefully I will take my first quick trip up to Denver in a couple of months.
Heather is originally from Calgary, Alberta and I am a Wisconsin boy and we look forward to meeting you all at the rally!

One side of my family would like to have a gathering in the Ozarks this summer because it is equal distance for a number of us to travel to. I will be the only one in an RV while everyone else will be needing to rent cabins or houses. So I thought I might poll all of you for recommendations on where to stay in an RV in this area and nail that down first and then look for rental homes/cabins nearby. None of us have ever been to this area so we are open to suggestions. Thanks
