Nobody needs a good towbar?
Rated 5000#, asking $200 OBO
If anyone is interested I can bring it to the rally in June, otherwise it'll go into storage for now.

                    Hello,

I was working on problem with air leak from Air Brake pedal system and ran in to much bigger problem then I was asking for !

We are still stying at RV park for another week or so and hope to fix it.

What I was trying to do as severl mentioned to replace the air hose coming in to the air pedal cyclinder and its union to change to better fitting.
I tried to loose the brass nut by the pedal's brake cylinder & I think its head broke off! scary sound all the air come of the small hole , lots of it , all of it!

if the nut is broken off and its threads are still inside of the cylinder! Looks like big problem ! Iam going to figure out how to remove it?

I wanted to take the hose and the brass union and take to local NAPA and get new better fitting since the old one was leaking lot of air.

As Chester sugested Newell cut the hoses way to short and the hoses are stiff and puts lot of stress at angle and create air leak at the fitting part of it!

Please help if anyone has any tips!

Now looks like I need to replace entire hose section? is any of you knows where the other end of the hose goes? I noticed it swings to the left from the brake pedal, is perhaps somhere near generator area?
I have attched images of the brass nut and fitting parts.

Les

Howdy friends,

We are approaching Christmas, New Years, at the end of Hanukkah and such. I love the holidays. Our son Scott, who helped to set up our Gurus Forum is home for a few weeks and it is great to see him. we are proud of his service as an officer in the USAF.

We will have all the kids and grandkids and son-in-law here for christmas day and it will be great.

So many of you are or have become great personal friends of darlene and i that we we feel it a great priviledge to have gotten to know you. for those of you that we don't know yet, we look forward to it and will send you our contact info if you want them.

we love to talk about coaches, family and just about anything.

After living in Israel 2 years ago for 3 months, we got an incredible and emotionally moving feel for christmas and for our dear jewish friends and their beliefs and traditions. We will never forget spending one of the nights of Hanukkah at the Western Wall in Jerusalem with the Rabbi of the Western wall leading the prayers and dancing. It was awesome. We spent that Christmas eve in a kibbutz hotel in Galilee on the sea of Galilee with our two youngest kids, scott and heather and huddled around a 6" high USB (from my laptop) powered christmas tree having darlenes cinamon rolls and going to christmas day church services at a chapel overlooking the sea of galilee the next morning.

we love christmas, what it means to our family and friends and for our faith.

this is a real departure from what i normally post but wanted to share my thoughts of christmas with you and hope that each of you enjoy this time no matter where you are, what circumstances you are in and whatever faith you embrace.

merry christmas,

Tom (and Darlene too)

For your interest, I have attached a photo of my new LED rear coach lights. Got a better price dealing with the guy in Tucson that sells them on eBay.
   

I had to replace a 6" section of my aquahot exhaust under my coach. It rusted out.
I sawzsalled ( sure thats a word) the bad section, got new pipe from muffler shop about 12"-16" used high temp silicone and 4 muffler clamps. All in All about a 30 min. fix.

My question is- do I need to rewrap new pipe section and with what?

It is a much heavier gage than before.
Looks great as is.....

Currently working on my own Outdoor Resort lot in my backyard.

Connies newest song. She wrote all including the horn parts. This is a famous horn player from new orleans. He is that good.

Coach #1288, a 2009 Quad slide, is listed on Ebay with a starting bid of $805,000. Nice coach. Listed as private owner, Orlando, FL. Interested thing is that this coach was listed by Newell in November of last year at $1.125 M. Then reduced to $925k as a Must Sell in August of this year. It was shown as sold on Newell's site in September of 2012. Now it is on Ebay. Weird!

Trying eBay one more time. Priced to sell .

I know there has been talk about this valve but cannot find any post.
Would like to know what size thread is the drain plug so I can order a Fumoto Valve.

Thanks
Brad

From what I've seen, it looked like a Newell is probably out of my price range. Then I saw this: http://boise.craigslist.org/rvs/3441702580.html and started wondering. That got more questions coming to the surface, so I guess it is time to ask the experts.

1. The grill under the navigator's seat looks like it might be for a generator. True? There is a similar one under the driver's seat. Why?

2. Or, might this coach have cruiseaire units? I didn't see any rooftop a/c units. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

3. How does a Newell like this compare to a Wanderlodge of similar age and size? Looks like the Newell has somewhat larger tanks and has the same engine. Would weights be similar, too? I realize that there are only so many ways one can arrange the interior of a box. I'm not asking about that, but about the stuff that really matters: engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, construction, etc.

4. The ad says that it has "Air Suspension and Leveling." Does that mean it is like the Foretravels, which don't have leveling jacks, but instead use the airbags to level the coach? Or does it mean that it is like the 'Birds, using leveling jacks, but that the jacks are air-operated?

I saw this on WOG http://boise.craigslist.org/rvs/3441702580.html and wondered about the price. That price seems a bit low, but certainly in our price range. We like the mid-entry. There is a lot of information that is missing, but then since it is a repo by the CU I suspect that they don't have any idea of what they actually have. They just want their money and parking spaces back.

Anyone know anything about this coach?
