Q
569 4/12/2002 7:27:50 AM 4/13/2002 Dennis Wolfe dennis.wolfe@mindspring.com Replacement Air Valves I have a 1987 coach that has Skinner valves (V52DA2125) for controlling the suspension. Since they no longer make this valve, do you recommend using the Skinner replacement or some other brand?

Q
570 4/14/2002 6:42:50 PM 4/14/2002 Rich Farr Toptin@aol.com battery charger Our 79 Newell has a 80Amp converter (battery charger\DC power supply) and today (when main batteries were dead) we discovered that it only charges coach battery (in front) - not the ones that start the engine (in the back).
Is there a heavy duty splitter (or some other option) to charge all batteries from the converter (and engine driven alternator) - and still separate the coach load from main engine batteries?
Thanks in advance.

Q
571 4/14/2002 7:56:54 PM 4/14/2002 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com battery charger Your coach has a three-position rocker switch on the instrument panel labeled "Merge." With the rocker switch in the center position, the coach and engine start batteries are isolated, with the converter/charger charging only the house batteries and the alternator charging only the engine start batteries. With this switch pushed in at the top or bottom, the batteries will be interconnected through an electric solenoid located on the electrical terminal panel at the right rear corner of the coach. When merged, either the converter charger or the alternator will charge both the house and the engine start batteries. The solenoid has a limited life and we recommend replacement annually.

575 4/20/2002 8:08:44 PM 4/21/2002 alan messer lnrwssr303 towable vehicles I am considering towing a 1999 GMC Yukon and I read the owner's manual that you can tow by puting the transfer case in neutral and the transmissing in park. I read in Newell Q and A that some people use a disconnect for towing. Please give info.

576 4/25/2002 9:46:36 pm 4/26/2002 gene morace genemorace@hotmail.com front brakes i am currently experiencing a poping in the front end when the breaks are applied. It was originally suggested that the "s" cams needed to be greased. This has not corrected the problem. The wheels have not been pulled as of yet, but have had the front end checked and nothing seems to be loose. Any suggestions?

Q
577 4/26/2002 11:02:55 AM 4/26/2002 TeckTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com FRONT BRAKES We suggest that you lube the suspension arms where they connect to the tower structures on the frame. If this doesn't stop the noise, the sheet metal lining the compartments just ahead of or behind the front wheels may be "oil canning" under stress. If this is happening, welding a strap across the face of the sheet metal will correct the oil canning and the noise.

579 4/28/2002 6:18:42 AM 4/28/2002 John Clark jvclark02@cs.com FRONT BRAKES Does the "poping" occur every time you apply the brakes, or when you have to apply them a little more forcefully than normal? Also, does it "pop" only once after you apply the brakes, or does it keep popping?

580 4/28/2002 6:37:35 AM 4/28/2002 John Clark jvclark02@cs.com battery charger Rich:
You might want to check out the new inverter/charger units on the market (Xantrex,Trace etc.) Most of them use a 3 step charging process that really saves your batteries versus the converters one step process. As an added benefit, you can watch your TV, use the microwave, etc., without firing up the generator. It's also nice to leave the ice maker on while traveling, as the engines alternator will keep the house batteries charged going down the road.

I owned a 79 for 8 years and my single most important suggestion would be to keep your 12v electrical connections clean, especially the ground wires. Also, read carefully Newell's Tech staff's last sentence, you can't trouble shoot a bad solenoid with a voltmeter (amps are where the power is; 13.75 volts mean nothing without the amperage flow to support it.

Q
582 5/2/2002 10:18:55 AM 5/2/2002 TeckTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com 84 WINDSHIELDS The windshields for the 1981 through 1989 Newells (coaches with the eyebrow over the windshield) are a standard Chevrolet Astro 95 truck windshield. They are relatively inexpensive. On the 102 inch wide body models, built starting in 1986, a 6" wide center section is an "inside cut" from a complete left or right windshield.

80,000 miles. Took a while to figure out the air ride,
(had to redo it - all stopped up) new generator and
went thru the cooling system. All works fine with one exception- jake brake or whatever it is. I see no function
at all. However I love my bus.

586 5/10/2002 6:27:59 PM 5/11/2002 John Clark jvclark02@cs.com L.P. tank overfill protection device (O.P.D.) No problem. Your 1984 Newell came equipped with an overfill protection device (OPD). The April 2002 mandate was for portable cylinders. Overfill protection devices have been mandatory for motorhomes for over 30 years.
