This is strictly a suggestion and I realize not all suggestions are good ones. My thought is that under the heading of "Parts Is Parts" it would be nice to have a section to post replacement parts for our Newells that the Gurus find. Some parts in our Newells become discontinued, others become obsolete & others become available cheaper. It would be a resource for others to see what others have found & used, along with their review.
Examples: There has been many discussions on the 110V air compressor. This would be the place some one could review the new one they used--either because of price or it was just quieter. Another area is lighting and others would have a place to post products they have successfully used. Many times you remember a thread talking about something you are now interested in, but can't find it.
No hurt feelings if I'm the only one who likes it!!!
Has anyone ever redone their waste (black tank) piping?
I have the old Thetford dump valves on mine. The gray water bypass valve, the one that isolates the black tank, is leaking internally. These have to be unscrewed and be split apart not like the Dupre valves with the removable top. I'd like to replace it with a different valve.
The main waste dump valve is also showing it's age so I'd like to replace that one also.
I won't do this until next winter when I have a week or so to work on it but would like to start getting ideas.
I guess the fittings are all glued and I won't be able to take them apart to put in new valves so I'll plan to just buy all new fittings & valves and rebuild a new system.
Any idea how to remove the pipe from the tank?
I have a Headhunter 110V water pump in my coach. It is working fine, but always looking for future replacement as it is 14 years old. The new Headhunter Mach 5 runs about $1,100+ and my pump does not qualify for their 1/2 price program. I found a pump that looks good to me and retails for $448.27. It is close on the dimensions and gpm. Just wanted the Gurus opinion of this pump.

Before any of us rebuild a Detroit we need to look into this (sorry Todd).

This is a vicarious report of a Newell sighting southbound on I-15 near Corona, CA Friday around 2 pm Pacific Time.....my son, Tim, was northbound and saw a Newell that looked exactly like mine, only some guy with a white beard was driving it......he called me shortly thereafter to be sure I wasn't in town......I told him that must be Steve Ward (Prarieschooner), and sure enough it was! He confirmed he was on his way to Menifee.
I just returned from the HWH Service center in Moscow, Iowa. To many "experts" have messed with my system and I just couldn't correct the mess-ups by myself. (besides it is way too cold here in Mi.) I can't say enough about the nice treatment I was given and the fairness of the charges. They certainly know what they are doing and I highly recommend them. You can see they even let me stay in my Newell "penthouse" overnight.
Looks like we will be heading to Yuma soon. How many are there? how about a quick get together?
Hi all, something new!! Entered the coach experiencing the odor similar to hot oil. Investigated below and found one of the house batteries with elevated temperature (around 120F). Disconnected the affected battery from the string. I suspect thermal runaway as the battery is surely dry inside from the odor.
Question is, has anyone experienced an incident such as this?

Above is from the other forum.
Well it lasted just about a year. Started chattering again. I emailed both Kwikee and PPL to see if the replacement gear set and motor assembly will fit. If not I guess I'll buy a new step.
Just heard from Kwikee and they don't make any parts for these old steps. So just ordered a new step from PPL. Should be waiting for me at my sons house when we get back to Thibodaux next week.
