  dc exhaust fan over oven

This fan just started running backward lately. There is only 1 hot lead going to the fan +12.5v. The second wire from the fan goes directly to ground. I replaced the switch with a smaller unit with an LED indicator light. I tried bypassing the switch, no difference!! I am confused & frustrated. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

A part of Newell ownership that is often overlooked is the Newell family. Suzy & I had a wonderful dinner with Jimmy & Brenda(guru member Ozarkguy) last night at one of Eureka Springs, AR finest. Always fun to get together & talk "Newells". David Linninger is coming by the farm today for more "Newell" talk(guru member Kb0zke). I know I'm preaching to the choir to most here, but for those that are trying to decide on a Newell, owning a Newell is great, but the Newell friendships are priceless!

  drivers height question

hi all,

someone just asked me if any of the newells had adjustable pedals for the driver.

the person is a little less that 5' tall and wanted to know if the coach was driveable with someone that height.

being over 6'2" and the size of a sasquatch, it is hard for me to know if the seat in my 02 can be adjusted enough.

do any newells have the adjustable brake pedal? seems like the throttle would be easy to permanently adjust by mounting it farther back and up if needed.

is there anyone that is around 5' that is driving a newell and if so, is it comfortable?

any wisdom here?

  OTA antenna

hi all,

my 90 has the batwing hand crank antenna and works for hd OTA just great. my 2002 has a mount for it, but nothing there but the coax.

and no control panel in the front tv cabinet.

i was looking at several different antennas, at first mostly the stationary small ufo looking ones.

i know that if the 02 had an OTA antenna it likely would be the winegard ma-1000 motorized lift one. is that right? that is discontinued by winegard and people are asking lofty amounts for it.

i do not want to put a hand crank one in.

what are you guys using and with what success?

i currently have an cheap amplified one installed behind the front tv and it works, but but needs to be outside.

thoughts?

  Anti-sieze lubricant application

I found an easy way to apply anti-sieze to the generator exhaust. I located a paint brush with about a 10" handle and the brush head at an angle of 35 degrees. Bolted it to a 1" square aluminum about 5' long, and it was very easy to apply the lubricant all around the exhaust pipe.

We pulled to thsi amazing resort called Motorcoach Country Club in Indio, we are stying only 4 nights and heading down to Tucson, AZ for 2 rest of teh winter.

After setting in and driving our coach to our spot , we saw 6 Newells on teh way to our spot! so far most ever!

later we took our two dogs for walk around thsi country club resort and counted some 34 Newells and that is not all! We only walked outside loop of the resort.

Newell presitend and owner owns two lots here and everyone knows hime well!

Most coaches we saw here are:

Country Coach ( many high end models )
Newell mostly 2010 few 2012' and few 2000-2006
Provost
Marathon
Essex by Newmar

The most funny thing we noticed that many owners have their golf carts made replicas of well knows cars, Mustangs, Fiat, Model, Cadillac T, Jeep and more very clever idea, they are minis of real thing!

Will walk more next day and see hwo many more Newells we can find it!
Another funny thing was how many wre from Montana , haha! few of them bend few rules here!

  Dyson Vacuums

I got a great Xmas present from my wife and 2 daughters: a Dyson DC44 cordless vacuum for the Newell.

It is awesome! It only weighs 5 pounds and has a docking station so it is charging while it is stowed away.

I know it's not cool to get excited about vacuum cleaners but this thing is really a great little vacuum. Most cordless vacuums are small and don't have a rotating brush at the head; this one does! And it has good suction power.

Google Dyson vacuums and click on the DC 44 Animal Cordless vacuum.

  Garmin Dezl 760LMT

On Christmas Eve, I received my new Garmin Dezl 760LMT. This unit was released 12/17/12. I finally got feeling well enough to go out to the coach and play with it for a few minutes with my Garmin 3790. First, let me say that a 7" GPS is BIG. My 3790 is a 4.3" and it looks like a toy compared to the 760. Finding a place to put it in a car could be a challenge.
   
Secondly, this unit does NOT support an external GPS antenna but neither did my 3790. I put the 3790 and the 760 on the center console and fired them up from a cold start. It took about 2 minutes for the 3790 to lock onto enough satellites to display a green signal. I moved the 3790 over and put the 760 in the place where the 3790 had been sitting to the start up test and plugged the 760 in. It took about 1 minute 15 seconds for it to display a green signal. The location of the 760 in the above shot is where each GPS was located during the start up period. Later, I will try to determine how far back into the coach it will be able to lock on to the satellites.
   
I have the 760 set up for both a Truck profile and an RV profile. So far, I don't know if there is any difference between the two. The symbol at the top of the opening screen above shows which profile you are running (Car is a third option as I recall.) Each allows input of height, width, length and weight and whether you have a trailer. Truck also has a hazardous materials option.
I put in downtown Spearfish, SD in each unit. They came up with similar but slightly different routes (note the ~20 mile different in distance to destination). In the photo below, you can see that on a residential street, the 760 doesn't have any truck route information. It also doesn't have any information on RR-620 which, as a number of you may remember from the Austin Mini Rally, is a major road that does show as a truck route in the 2012 Rand McNally Motor Carriers Road Atlas. That is not a good sign.
Although you only have a choice to display 2 pieces of data at the same time (bummer), information included in the right hand display is % grade. Not sure how it gets that information but it could be interesting.    
Below is a shot of the search for nearest truck stops
   
and nearest rest areas
   
When you have your smartphone attached via bluetooth, you can also see on screen the current weather
   
Traffic is in the area is also available through the built in receiver.
   

I will add more as I get a chance to play with it.
