Just finished hooking up the Sewer Solution and dumping.
Had to use 20' of hose and 8' of 1" pvc where I'm parked at the civic center. Once it started running I was able to shut off the water jet. Had to turn it on a few more times for a minute or so to get the flow going again. But it worked great, easy to clean up.
If you have the Thetford waste valve like mine you will need to get the Valterra universal adapter.

Does anyone know whose front disc brakes that Newell used around 1999? Here is a photo if that will help...............

In having a conversation with one of my Newell friends I was reminded that identifying the air bag numbers on our coaches was one of my winter jobs. Since his coach is one number from mine, we are going to make what may be a dangerous assumption that our air bags are the same. Apparently the only way to identify the air bags is to remove them as the number is on the top and/or bottom. If any one has replaced the air bags on a 1999, IFS coach, you could save me some work. While my air bags are not cracked and look pretty good I would like to know the Firestone number before I need it.

I am starting with the right front. It appears that there are two bolts on the bottom mounting plate and three bolts on the top mounting plate. There is also an air line on top. It appears unbolting the mounting bolts, unscrewing the air line and prying down the extended air bag will allow removal. Is there any one who can confirm or straighten me out on removing a front air bag?

Pilot home office is here in the Knoxville and they started as convenience stores. The program they have with the RV Plus Card is a great deal.

I don't think many Newells have this feature, but finding some of this obscure stuff is the hardest. These are more common on boats. Here is what it looks like.

Finding a bulb can sometimes be challenging from the standpoint of some one stocking them and price. I have seen them priced as high as $79.99--grab your ankles! Here is the lowest price I found.

Here is an item for owners of coaches with inverters that should probably be in your spare box. If it blows you will have no 12V house power or inverter. They come in different amperages, but the one on my coach is a 300 amp. The amperage rating for the fuse is marked on it. I do not have one on my starting batteries, but some Newells do. Here is one source, but I'm sure they are available many places.

Both Phil Horton & I had to replace the flexible hose in our kitchen faucets due to restriction. The Grohe part # is 46 092 000. Both Phil & I purchased replacements at Amazon, but they are available elsewhere. Before you buy any parts for your Grohe faucets, call Grohe---the faucets manufactured from 1997 to present have a lifetime warranty. Grohe customer service is very good and if you can convince them that a part failed to perform as designed they will send you the part free.
