hi all,

i am putting new infrared repeaters in my coach for the additional units in my AV system. i also installed a similar system on my 90.

the 02 has the original units that newell put in. the Niles IRP2+. a very nice system. the flashers (the little units that attach to the front of the AV devices) do not hook up as you would think.

they have to be hooked up in series with each other. there is a limit of 4 of them together. you might think to just put them all together but that is not the case.

Gang,

I asked James Neathery for a drawing of my coach. He is a sales guy / Engineer at the Newell factory. Man did he deliver! I think its interesting to see the drawing even though I know the coach pretty well!

If you don't have a similar drawing for your coach...its worth asking the factory.

Cheers,
bill

Senior moment

Okay , so I posted here before for my newell friend who's Bode door would slam hard on the close action & now we did ran in to problem with our own Bode air door.

What happen was few weeks ago door would act not normal , we would try to open and no respond, than few ries with the kaypod and door would work again!

Now yesterday, we tried to open and wont open, you hear mechanical click , but there is no air ativation ? so we are using mechanical valve to open the door.

I did check the 20 amp fuse and its good, not sure whatele we can check , its Sunday so will be hard to get hold off.

We are checking Bode webside and it sounds like we might have some electric problem etc.

Was wonder if anyone had such problem with Bode door . We had no problem whatsever with it for nearly 2 years now! fulltiming we use more and avrage person on the weekends.

Happy Easter to all our Newell friends!!!!!!!!

While at Steve's I used his ladder to remove the (not so) clear plastic cover over the rear camera and looked at the roof while up there.
It appears the roof has a white coating that is similar to a spray-on bedliner. It has a similar texture and looks about 1/16" thick. I was expecting the silver paint, nice surprise.

I noticed that we are running only 2 AC's in our coach !
#1 ( front ) and #3 are out!
climbed on the roof and took the covers out , looks like all the wires are conected etc. not sure whatelse to look for?

Its firts time thsi months we started to use them & not sure if they always worked?

The front one was replaced in 03' and other 3 are original 2000
Somone mentioned that inverter could be set on 30 amps and its only kick in 2 AC units , is that passible?

Is anyone has any tips what to looks for?
Wanted to reset the termostat but ours is 5 buttom type and my manual shows 4 uttoms type and wont tell you how to re set it

PS: just had installed solar shade 95 on our winshield and side windows , looks great!! cant wait to hit some sun with it and see the temps go down! I also bought bubble type silver sun screen barrier rated at 87% and cut to fit our front windshield, we hope thi upgrade will take some edge of the sun.

There are two locks on each slide room & they are all the same. HWH part number is 91903 and cost is $485.30 each.

Does anyone know about a Cummings 903 diesel engine that is in an 82 Newell. It is available in FL. I've heard this one smokes a lot (haven't seen it yet, I'm wondering if it is worth seeing or if the bad smoking is indicative of a major problem).
