Hi,

Most of us have wanted or needed the air solenoids on the leveling system. they are a HWH RAP 1940 part number.

newell does sell them. have any of you found a source for them besides newell?

thanks

tom

hi all,

i know many of you are ipad fans and that is just fine. i am an android kinda guy. i bought the new google nexus 7 8gb tablet and love it. in fact, we just bought another one for darlene. last nite scott helped me hack it so it allows me to use a usb memory device or any other usb device. you ask why did i get the 8gb version. reason is simple. i am cheap. i use it for mainly cruising the web and for reading and playing a game or two when bored.

as for movies, i can have a couple on there if i choose or stream from a usb device.

yea i wish it had a sdcard slot, but it is not a huge deal.

it was 200 bucks and the screen is great. it is a 7" screen, so smaller than the ipads.

i use it much more than i thought i would.

if you ever stop by my house, ask to play with it.

it is awesome.

Just picked up a 2004 truck, ordered the baseplates, now what is the best way to set up lights?
On my jeep I added a bulb in the light housing and ran wires through the frame, that worked pretty good.
Magnetic lights?
Something like these glued on the bumper? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-LED-15-Slimlin...519ff5b676

Later on I'll probably carry a RZR in the back with the tailgate down so need to keep that in mind when I add lights.

Evening Guys,
Just found the site from the wanderlodge forum posted by a guy named stick and registered so I thought I's say hello. We have a Newmar Essex 4502 and live very peacefully at our farm in up State New York with our Persian cat Dougal. Unfortunately, I still have to work for a living but the sooner I retire we're off on our full time travels. Right now we are searching for a replacement motor home and set on either wanderlodge or newell so hopefully you won't mind answering some of my questions.

All the best,

Bob Mettcalf

Disclaimer - I have no financial interst in this company.

I just want to take a moment to say how much I have enjoyed the online shopping experience at McMaster-Carrr. Of all the sites I have frequented, and that's a lot, these guys really do it right.

For me shopping should be quick, easy, and get my stuff in a hurry so I can do other things. I do not like roaming around a store trying to find something or just window shopping. I want in and out.

The McMaster site makes it soooooo easy. Just type in more or less what you are looking for and then click on the proper name from the dropdown. You then get images and the ability to filter so you see just the type of item you are looking for.
I have used their email to ask a detailed question and the response was within a half hour and then basically instant after that. I am presently about 180 miles from Atlanta and my ground shipping arrives the next day even when I place the order after dinner. I have not had a shipping charge over ten bucks and a couple packages weighed about 10 pounds. Your location may not work nearly as well, but looking at the lake and clicking in my order beats spedning gas money and going to town.

    Hello,
We having some problem with outofill valve ?
Its newell 2001 2 slides

I called Mike at Newell and he said it should be simple fix
Take the cover of the valve ( sqare plate with 4 screws) and you should be able to clean any dirt builded up in there!

When I opened the cover there was strong spring with head cup and both ware buildup with white deposit 1
There was center screw holding the valve rubber memebrane , thsi screw is hard to remove it ? I turned either way and there was some water coming from rubber memebrane sides!

My qestion is, do I need to get that screw out to get to guts of the valve or it looks like thsi valave is shot case I see water coming from the memebrane?

If so, would nayone had any sugestions where to find the new valave.

When we do outo fill of our fresh warer , it will never stop itself , there overflow hole under the coach is spilling lot of water.

I attched image of the valve location

Best,

When I purchased my coach the icemaker had been removed. If any one needs to replace their refrigerator, but the icemaker works, I'm looking for the parts.

Here's another one for anyone looking for a bargain:

What do people think about the tire pressure monitoring systems? Tim at RV cams is a big believer in them (although he is getting out of that because i think he said there is no margin in them). After listening to you guys talk about the need to closely monitor tire pressure for the best handling it seems like it might be $300 or so well spent. OK dispense with knowledge and opinions. Thanks

I recently had the toe-in adjusted to 1/16", but the coach still seems to wander a little bit. Has anyone adjusted theirs to 1/8th of 3/16, and if so, did it help. I am not so much worried about tire ware as I am in stopping the over steering.
