saw late 70 early 80s light red and cream? la posa west just off 95 south Brian and Lana

Recently there was a discussion on how expensive the HWH solenoid valves are. I saw this air manifold for sale with six RAP1940 solenoid valves. While the air manifold is for a non Newell coach, the solenoid valves are the same ones that are on my coach. The part is represented as new and at full price the solenoid valves would be $66.66 each.

Hope this helps someone in need.............................

While I was in Albuquerque, I discovered that my passenger side yard lights were not working. I opened them up today to find that the bulbs in both of the yard lights had exploded. As we are traveling with Don Bradner, he volunteered that he still had some strip LEDs left from redoing the porch light on his Blue Bird Wanderlodge. I removed the broken bulbs, then removed the screw holding the ground wire to the body. I cut the power wire as close as possible to the bulb holder then used pliers to bend the bracket that held the bulb holder in the light fixture back and forth until it broke free. We soldered new wire leads of the strip LEDs since it was the end of a 5 meter length of LEDs. Since the LEDs needed to be facing the lens and I wanted them to be as close as possible to the lens, we cut down a Coke carton to get two strips of cardboard to mount the LEDs on. We folded the LED strip back and forth to get 4 rows of LEDs inside the light fixture, removed the backing paper and stuck the LEDs to the cardboard. I then used a small (red) ring crimp end on the negative lead to secure it into the same hole as the original ground wire and used a blue crimp on connector to join the positive wire to the existing positive wire. Since the gaskets were shot, I applied clear silicone caulk into the chrome light fixture base where the gasket had been, inserted the cardboard with the LEDs on it into the lens and screwed the lens in place. Tomorrow, I will cut off any excess silicone that was pushed out by the lens. The result is a brighter, whiter light that provides more consistent illumination than the previous bulb did and use significantly let current without the heat. In the photo below, note the consistent line of illumination at the base of the coach from the two fixtures. This was certainly not the case with the original turn signal bulbs in these fixtures.

For any one looking for places to go in your Newell consider a Fall trip to the Ozark Mountains. The color this year has been spectacular. Best I've seen other than in Maine, Vermont & New Hampshire, but a lot closer for most. The Ozarks extend from s/w Missouri into the northwestern part of Arkansas. Nice thing about the Ozarks is the temperatures are normally in the 70s this time of year. Pictures really don't do it justice.

I found the gas struts for my coach at http://www.spdhardware.com, part No. GSNI2300150. The cost is $18.13 each, plus shipping.

hi all,

have any of you tried the tire covers from camping world? they have covers of diameters up to 45" in diameter. they say to add a couple of inches for protruding hubcaps.

my tires are diameters are 42.5". for my 22.5 tires.

We need to replace our mattress as is probably the original I would imagine. It seems in good enough shape but it is not very comfortable. It's a big firmer than we like. So would any of you have any advice on place to shop or mattresses you have liked? I know everyone's taste may be different but if anyone would have some advice we would appreciate it.

If you got nothing to do right now watch Felix skydive from a balloon in space!
