    It’s not my job to beat the shit out of Newall but if you know buses and coaches it’s easy to do.

    One thing every Newell buyer finds out is if he decided to get out and go back to a bus you will take a bath.

    Newall prices are only reflected if you continue to buy Newell. On the open market they are worthless.

    I have a very good friend who made a mistake and found out the hard way. He own’s a 2020 and a 2018 Newell.

    Trawick in Dallas has his 2018 that’s been for sale in Miami, OK and now Dallas for almost a year with no buyer or support.

    He will sell you either one or both together for a package deal, he wants to build a Marathon and as soon as he can rid himself of these coaches he will.

    Obviously Chuck you are a Liberty guy because of your bunk coach question the other day. You need to get out there and see what people are making these days. If you want inside height the new X3 chassis is over 91 inches inside.

    A PC/NTCS data service program is definitely of interest to me, especially truly unlimited. As Bill pointed out, the concern is can you truly get the service through Tmobile using Verizon and AT&T towers. I’ve been told by friends using Tmobile that once they’re out of their home area, it sucks. Maybe this is a different setup.

    If I had a for real unlimited data plan, Direct TV would be a distant memory. I would stream TV, same as I do at home.

    Keep digging David, myself and probably others would be glad to give it a try. I would like to hear from Ronald, he has dealt with this stuff a lot.

    Some trips you can go up then over, or over and then up to make a special stop. You can always go via I-95 then up to 84 and stop at a Cracker Barrel…always my favorite stop over because of their cardiologist non-approved breakfast. And Prevost friendly…haven’t found a one I couldn’t park with my toad. When the lot is full, I’ve parked along side the back of the building multiple times with the blessing from the manager.

    Tom,

    Is the Pulse FX repeater available yet? Looks like about 1 year since it was last mentioned.

    Arrived home and found problem. Between gen output and inverters are 30 amp breakers , one for each 120vac leg to inverters. One of the breakers had tripped. Reset breaker and 120vac to inverter #1 was restored thus getting system back to normal. The gen breaker box location is not in a user friendly location for easy access, but that’s life.

    Hope this helps others if similar problem arises. Thanks again guys for input and help. Ready for next trip soon

    All is fixed and working perfectly. Went to a shop and got the replacement part, $88. Using a 1 1/4 inch socket, installed the new oil pressure sensor and tested it out. Back to normal, no issues whatsoever.

    My sincerest thanks for everyone’s help. We are very grateful.

    The question about “how do I add a new thread” was second to the question about forgetting one’s password. If I had a dollar of the dues money for every time I answered that question it would be Tom complaining because he wasn’t getting any dues money.

    June 15, 2019 at 9:40 am in reply to: Need Help Again – Is Air Dryer Failing?

    THANK YOU Jon & Tom

    Jon – the strange part is that the pressure on the front and rear tanks never goes below approximately 115 psi, to say approximately 90 psi, then cycles back up to 120 from 90. It just cycles and the air dryer purges every +/- 60 seconds or less

    Tom – I will call Haldex technical assistance to see if a re-build kit for this discontinued Haldex dryer is available.

    I did do a re-build kit on my first coach’s dryer (also Haldex brand) and was able to have enough room to get under it with all air tanks emptied. Do you think I would be able to get under this H3 in our campground? It just seems lower…If I was at home, I would use the wooden 2″ x 12″ ramps I built…

    THANK YOU AGAIN!

    June 14, 2019 at 8:11 pm in reply to: Hi Time Generator Engine UOA


    Recently, I sent in an oil sample to JG Services Lab for analysis of our genny engine used oil. The oil is 1 yr old, w/100 hr. It has been 1 yr and 100 hrs since I replaced the rod bearings, oil, and filter in the Kubota V-2203 the powers our PowerTech 17.5 genny. It has 12,974 hrs on the Hobbs. It hasn’t given us any problems in the 5+ yrs were owned it.

    Got the results today and they are excellent as I hoped they would be. The Labs comments: DATA INDICATES NO ABNORMAL FINDINGS. RESAMPLE AT NORMAL INTERVAL. CONTINUE TO USE FLUID FOR 300 HRS AND RESAMPLE AT THAT TIME.

    The oil is Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15-40w. The filter is a Fram XG3593A.

    As I suspected, it’s normal for rod bearings to need replacing when a diesel engine reaches half life.

    Based on this story in the Orlando Sentinel, it’s coming much sooner than I would have predicted.

    Driverless big rigs could be hitting Florida highways next year. Are you ready, good buddy?

    Thank you Diane,

    That is good to know. We had one that swelled and had to replace the battery. (correction….the whole I-pad was replaced).

    Today, I took both I-pads off of the launch port while we are stationary.
