I thought this catalog might be helpful to anyone who is dealing with air leaks or wants to replumb something, like an air compressor.

My Tire Monitoring system died on me, and Newell told me that it would cost a fortune to repair it. They suggested that I get a system that uses the valve stem sending units. Could anyone steer me to a good reliable system?

It is finally time for use to get rid of the carpeting in our '82.. I would like to start with the staircase. There is a Vinyl or Rubber type sheeting that we have seen and I could use some advice on where to get it.
The sheeting also has a molded piece for the steps.
thanks in advance.

Gang,

I have had a recurring problem with my engine batteries and am hoping that you guys can figure it out.

In the two years since I have had the coach, I have had to put in three sets of engine batteries. (All replaced by Newell) Newell said that I needed a float charger (they installed). The batteries now have Powerpulse Battery Maintenance boxes installed as well.

The symptom is that when I stop the coach (engine off) and try to restart, sometimes it wont turn over and start. Newell tested the batteries and said they were bad. The tech told me that I should always leave the batteries merged, but I cannot believe that I should have to do that.

Now, I have a brand new set of Lifeline batteries and the same thing is happening. I just drove three hours and when I stopped, it would not start again. (I merged the engine batteries with house and was able to crank). The silverleaf says that I have 13.8V from the alternator.

So what will cause batteries to die? Or maybe its a bum starter? Could the merge relay cause this?

When we visited Steve and Suzy a couple of weeks ago, Steve pointed out the cornering lights on his coach. Since they are small, maybe I'm just not seeing them, but I haven't be able to spot any on any of the pictures of Classics I've seen. Are they there? If not, how difficult is it to add them?

I had a couple of reels of strip LED lighting left over from other projects so I decided to install it in between the valance and the curtains in the salon area of the coach. I also installed a dimmer on it. Here are the pictures. I love how it came out....took a couple of hours. The 3rd picture (left to right) is with dimmer on full blast, and the 4th picture is about 40%.

on my coach there are a number of control panels made out of the black plastic engraved and then have switches or guages etc.

i have one over the driver, as you enter the coach, over the microwave, and in the bedroom.

what newell used to give that glow to the labels is a limosine/aircraft neon strip that they taped to the back of the panel in a daisy chain affair.

they use high AC voltage at very low amps. so there is a special inverter required for them and there is one for each location.

the only reason i fooled with them was that i heard a high pitched squealing and it was driving me nuts. i traced it down to the inverter for the panel over the microwave. steve bare and russ white had already been down this path so had the sources for it.

i ordered 2 inverters and thought i would be good. after i replaced that one and stopped that noise, then i heard another one. it was the one behind the panel on the left as you enter the coach with the master switch etc on it. so i replaced that one and then heard the noise in the bedroom. so i had to order more.

the one under the drivers left arm console isnt making noise.

i also ordered a spare length of strip and color plastic.
