  Engine cover wouldn't open

I went to open the engine cover & only the left side latch would unlatch. I had access to the right latch through the right engine access compartment on the right side. I was able to unlatch it using a 3 foot screwdriver. Don't know what I would do if the left side hadn't unlatched as there is no access. Both locks were stiff from lack of lubrication. I saturated both latches with spray lubricant until they worked smoothly. Now it opens & closes easily. Obviously I have neglected lubricating these latches. I offer this as a reminder to others so you don't get stuck with an engine cover that won't open. Also remember there are two grease fittings on the engine cover door.

Hope this helps someone.......................

  Heater core(dash) leaking

On my last trip we got up into some freezing temperatures so we used the dash heater. In Alburquerque I noticed a small amount of engine coolant under the left front corner of the coach. The next day we only used the AquaHot heater. We stopped in Williams, AZ and there was no coolant under the left front. We got up the next morning in freezing temperatures and there was a pretty good puddle of engine coolant under the left front of the coach. I spoke with Tommy Key at Newell who stated the dash heater core is under the dash on a metal pan that would drain any leakage to the left front corner of the coach. He stated if the heater core is leaking the dash has to be removed, core box opened and it is about a days job. He said to first try tightening the heater hoses that connect outside the core box. We didn't use the dash heater for the rest of the trip. I only got leakage on nights when it froze.

When I got home I removed the top of the dash. Could see the heater core box in the middle of the coach, but could not see where the hoses connected. I removed the cover that fits over the brake pedal. To the right I could see two heater hoses, but not where they connected to the heater core. I could also see the metal pan & it had remnants of engine coolant. I felt down by the floor to the right & felt where the hoses were clamped to the heater core. "In the blind" I tightened the lower hose a little. The top hose took no tightening. It has now been almost a week and no more leaking under the coach even in the freezing morning temps.

Hope this helps someone............................

  LED run and stop lights

Tom, I have purchased four sets of combination LED run and stop lights and one set of amber. I recall in a previous posting, perhaps on the old forum, that you replaced three of the red each side, but not the top center light. My plan is to wire all eight lights to work as both a run (tail) light and stop light. I am curious as to why you left the one red light original, and do you see any problem with my wiring plan.

My "shore line" warning light on my dashboard was burnt out. It is not a bulb I have seen before. It twists into a mounting block. It has a marking of "IDI 4133". Any one dealt with this type of bulb before & have a source?

Thanks...........................

Hi all,

We recently-ish signed an agreement with Newell, the document basically is this:

Quote:
  1. That you will only use the mark NEWELL in a nominative fair use way, i.e.
    to refer to Newell Coach products and only in a non-commercial manner;
  2. That you acknowledge that only Newell Coach owns trademark rights in the
    term NEWELL for motor homes or motor home related services;
  3. That you are not claiming any trademark rights in the term NEWELL, and
    will not attempt to register any trademark that contains the term NEWELL(or
    any variation thereof) or enforce any trademark rights in a mark that contains
    the term NEWELL (or any variation thereof) against any party;
  4. That your web site is and will remain a non-commercial forum for those with
    interests in Newell products; and
  5. That you will put the following disclaimer prominently on the home page of
    your web site in a size and location to be mutually agreed upon:

    "This site is non-commercial site intended as a forum for
    those interested in discussing Newell brand motor homes.
    Newell is a registered trademark of Newell Coach
    Corporation. Newell Coach Corporation is not associated in

Looks like it is time to consider muffler replacement as the exhaust tip end is deteriorating. The muffler is a Stemco that has the following markings: Inlet C7

Does any one have a source?

  Newell digital clock

Got the coach at home so spending some time going through it and would like to get the Newell digital clock in the bedroom working again.
Got 12V power going into it but the display won't light up.
Any ideas?
Emailed PMMI and they don't have any and won't repair it.
Could the capacitor be bad?
If I can't fix it guess I'll just buy an led clock to mount there, but would be nice to get this one working.

  aquahot interior heating register temperatures

with les having all his aquahot issues, i decided to go out and fire it up and let the coach heat up inside. run it for an hour or so.

i was curious as to what the temperatures would be of the hot air coming out of the vents. so i used a air con duct thermometer and measured 151 degrees. from what i understand, that is right on for outcoming air temperatures.

is that what the rest of you believe to be right?
