It is the power steering assist cylinder that’s leaking .
Can they be rebuilt?

Tom,
Hoses from the power steering pump go to the steering box in the drivers bay. There is a smaller set of hoses that go to the auxiliary ram on the front. My hoses to the ram were capped and I still had power steering. And I was still able to turn the steering wheel with one hand at a full stop.

How many gallons does B500 hold off top of someone’s head. Trans service is part of our Prevost service visit next month

A sway bar resists leaning. That is its only function so unless you are planning to take curves at high rates of speed you aren’t even going to know the sway bar lacks a dog bone.

How does that work? The DometicAC’s have a large capacitor that is a combo, for compressor and fan, does that do both? 2 different #s 50 & 15

Go to the Pittsburgh power website. https://pittsburghpower.com/collections/all/products/max-mileage-fuel-borne-catalyst
Claims to increase MPG by 14%.
When we were there camping in their parking lot, did I mention they have a dump station? Every trucker that came in fo service left with at least one gallon.

It appears the Winegard Roadtrip has a single coax or dual if running multiple receivers.

Every Winter Newell maintains a service fleet in Indio Ca. They only work on Newells . I also do not care for all the air related systems on the coach . I watched a Newell tech dig out insulation on a 2010 to find a air leak .

I never had a Newell but in a couple of weak moments we looked at several. They are nice coaches, but we were really struck with how little actual storage space there was available. That may or may not be an issue depending on how you use the coach.
The other thing and this may not have any influence on your decision is I would be concerned with axle weights and distribution of weights. We have a very steep driveway so at about 29 to 34% it can be a challenge. We have had quite a few Prevost coaches back up our driveway for visits, almost every conversion that I can think of and none had a problem.
Newell with their professional driver took about half a dozen attempts with some very impressive burning rubber smokescreens until we went with the dangerous option of accelerating on the flat part of the driveway and hoping the driver could get it under control as he reached the breakover just before hitting the garage. Every trip down was equally exciting with some wheel lockup. To me it was clear the front axle had a lot of weight and not the amount i was used to on the drive and tag.

Very interesting. I think they stole Andy’s jingle though.

Is Midnight Repair on the PC map?

Larry, I do not know anything about Techlink. Perhaps, Tom’s post will help you.
Vintage coaches do have a definitive advantage over newer ones. The newer coaches have all this technology built into them and you can not escape from it.
