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!

hi all,

we dont have much room for coaches to park, but there are lots of rv parks around us.

and if you want to come to the mesa area for a visit without your coach we have plenty of room for our friends to come and stay with us.

come on down!

Here is the air system diagram for the rear suspension on a 90s and early 2000 coaches. Note: The tag tank appears as one tank, but is actually two tanks that are separated inside and act independently.

    I am trying to get access to the top of my fuel tank to check out the fuel sending gauge unit and ground. To do so, I have to remove the polished stainless panel, and to remove the panel, I need to remove the knob to the fuel primer pump. Does anyone know how to remove this knob?

I am trying to r&r the air dessicant cartridge. The one in the tag wheel well that drys the air. I have bled all the air from the system, but the cartridge refuses to budge with the strap wrench I have. It has a plastic handle, duh, and the handle is bending.

What have you used, or observed in use for changing this filter?

One of my tail light lenses has a crack and the running lights up about halfway have a rubber base that is very old an cracked. What are some good places to source for replacement lights?

This short tale my help you diagnose a similar issue with your coach in the future. After the last trip, the coach would not reset to the ride travel height on one corner after I manually leveled it. Since I had recently installed new height control valves, I ASSUMED it was a HCV problem. So I spent the better part of an hour readjusting the HCV with no improvement. Still on the wrong track, I manually adjusted it to the correct height and it seemed to be OK. I next made the second wrong assumption, I assumed that something had caused the HCV to malfunction.

In piddling around with the coach, it still was not acting right on this corner. Then it hit me, a malfunctioning travel solenoid would keep the the HCV from working. Sure enough, the travel solenoid valve for that corner was not working, or opening. A quick fix and the coach is sitting pretty.

The moral of the story being that not all ride height issues are caused by the HCV.

    I installed a good used water filter for the 110v air compressor, a gift from Tom. I am curious to know what empties the water from the filter. There is a brass electrical valve of some type on the bottom of the glass bowl. I have attached a photo.

If anyone needs a new entry door striker for a Series 2000 Newell, they are still available from your friendly Ford dealer. The part number is D2AZ6522008A. I paid $17.62 plus tax in Albuquerque for one. I got the part number from Chuck Clarke at Newell and they have them in stock also. Since I am traveling, I wanted to try to find one locally. It is typically not on the shelf but available for pickup by noon the next day. I called from Santa Fe yesterday, paid for it over the phone, then when I got to Albuquerque today, I drove over and picked it up.

I had a striker unit that I could not get the washer off of without destroying the threads on the striker bolt. The new one has a threaded washer on it so when the plastic piece breaks next time, I should be able to remove the washer and slip on another plastic bushing. Those bushings are available from Autozone and likely others. They are packaged in a pack of 2 short and 2 long. The long ones are what Newell used, at least from 1990 - 2001. Someone with an older and newer Newell will have to speak for those.

You will need a T-50 torx wrench to remove and install the striker bolt.
