    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.

                    We found thsi great RV park right in fron santa catalina mountains in Oro Valley ( just outside Tucson)
What great place with 9000 feet peak looming right in front of your coach. Great hiking ( in the desert ) eqestrian center if you kike horse back riding, park offers great bathrooms/showers , very clean!
the only catch is 2 weeks in and 2 weeks out!

If you like to stay before january or after april , than you can book for month or longer, $25 per night.
Close to Biosphere 2 in Orcale . Oro Valley si more upscale spot with Ritz Carlton and some golf courses.

If you stay here make sure eat at Bubbs Grubbs place , stakes, beef and world class souce!

One more hick up is that park has 50amp/water but no dump, but you can roll after 10 days or so and dump at dump stations, thsi was only one hick up , but for the scenery, quiet and star watching at night makes up for.
Way in the country and still only 2 mile to wallmart, Best Buy and 4 eateries.

We are looking for a place near the Denver airport (or within an hour or 2) to leave our motorhome and truck for a month in mid-May in order to return home for our son's graduation from LSU.
It sounds like the best area would be east of Denver, lower elevations and campgrounds will be open earlier?
Since we are fulltiming we would need to leave it plugged into electricity so that's why we are thinking of a campground unless we can find a storage place with electric.
The weather east of Denver in mid-May should be above freezing at night?
When we fly back to Denver on June 16 we'll head up to Spearfish for the rally.
Any suggestions? Or other areas with an airport with good connections to New Orleans that is within 3-4 days drive to Spearfish, SD?
Thanks!

On my 2005 Newell, I have been loosing water, and finally saw where it was coming from. It was coming from the radiator cap (the one on the side for filling) It also has one on top where the water flows to the reservior. I called Newell, and they told me to get 2 new caps, 15# vented, and replace them both. I don't understand the purpose for both caps to be the same, since the top one regulates the overflow tank. It would seem to me that the other side cap woud defeat the purpose by operating at the same pressure as the top cap. I have noticed that the water level in the reservior tank never changes. I am thinking that I am going to go with a lower pressure on the top cap. The way I see it, if I had a 10# on the top, it would be free to do it's job. Any thoughts?

Left TT park in Menifee and up the coast to Morro Bay on Monday. Left Morro Dunes park on Monday and decided on a drive with a view so took Route 1 to Moss Landing yesterday. Beautiful drive but wouldn't recommend it in anything longer or wider than our 38' X 8"!!!!!!
Saw the Elephant Seals above San Simeon. This was a once in a lifetime experience with absolutely amazing Vistas!

waking up today at Moss Landing...tomorrow?

This is a caution for anyone installing a new sending unit. A few months ago, I went to a lot of trouble to install a new fuel sending unit in my diesel tank. A trip in December revealed that the fuel gauge always registered full. I replaced the gauge but still had the problem. Finally I decided that the new VDO sender was defective, so I ordered another. The new one came with a small sticker that said to remove the safety pin. Sure enough, the new one I had previously installed did not have this small instruction sticker, so I did not know to pull the tiny pin. Now the original one works and I have a spare sender and gauge.

Gang,

Yesterday, I was extending my big slide and the trim piece in the picture somehow got caught up in the slide mechanism. Notice that the top is not parallel to the floor anymore. When I noticed the problem, I brought the slide in, but then ran it out again.

Its not clear what the trim piece is hitting, but it has seemed loose ever since I have owned the coach. So now is the time to fix it.

Any thoughts as to how to get started? The piece is right next to the dinette.

Cheers,
bill

ps. The same thing previously happened to my bedroom slide, and Newell fixed but I did not watch the repair.
