My windows are very difficult to open as they have 32 years of Texas dust and clay in the tracks. The felt tracks just look shot. Where do I find these so I can pull out the old ones, clean things up and then install new ones? Also any tips on doing this?

Also the gaskets on most of my bay doors are in rough shape. Where is he best place to find these so I can replace these as well. Again an tips of doing this? And adjusting the doors as well?

So my new old rig has steps that are stuck slightly extended. Before I left Texas one of the guys looked underneath and said the electric motor was shot and it's easier to just replace the whole thing. True or have any of you done these before and just replaced the motor?

My CD player quit for no reason. Tom gave me a unit he removed from his coach. As Suzy & I had lunch today we enjoyed our "new" CD player.

THANK YOU....................................

Yesterday, my digital key pad showed all numbers red and nothing worked. Called Newall, and they suggested first try a resent since to replace the keypad is a big deal. In my 2001, I removed the fuse #17 in the bedroom for about 5 minutes. Reinstalled the fuse, and WOW, the key pad now works again. You may want to keep this note for future reference, I sure have done so.

I know a number of you spend time in the Yuma area in the winter.

it might be nice if we could arrange a weekend or some time to arrange to meet there. for darlene and i it is a 200 mile jaunt so close.

tom

howdy,

i know many of you have been where it is hot this summer. on our recent trip it was over 100 degrees as we were in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio....and yes 100-105 degrees is warm. but just kinda not so warm when you live in Mesa AZ. This year we have already had 86 days over 100 degrees and 21 days over 110.

this past week has been quite toasty. hit 117 yesterday and been over 110 for most of the past ten days. below is a snapshot from the local mesa online weatherstation that isnt far from our house.

   

yesterday it rained at our house for a few brief moments, just enough to wet the streets. over 110 and rain....sometimes the "its a dry heat" thing doesnt pan out.

i have learned that 100-108 or so is perfectly ok. 108 to 117 is just plain hot.

so, if you come to visit us in the summer, then you are always welcome to stay in the house with us. darlene likes it in the low 70's.

but....the winters are incredible....

happy travels

tom

Any good picks for stackable washer and dryer?
We are considering replacing our older Frigidaire set as the dryer does not get hot enough and it is probably as old as the coach. Been looking at the Splendide front loads but would like some feed back from actual users.
Thanks.

Just got our 84 Newel home today. 1000 miles and I had never even driven a class A before. It was a blast, but as I told Tom on the phone I felt like it wandered a bit. I was constantly figiting to keep in where I wanted. I had new 16 ply Goodyears put on before we left Texas. So wondering guys what I should have checked and what after market things I could do to tighten it as much as possible. Don't get me wrong I loved driving it, but I would never park it if it were tighter. It does need front shocks I was told. Assume I needs to be aligned as well.

hi all,

i have gotten asked several times lately about a source for gas springs for bay doors. the ones i just put on my 2002 i got from steve at

http://www.stampededist.com/struts.html

very inexpensive compared to anywhere else i have found.

they are columbia brand struts.
