  1. George, I can't find a way to turn the pics upright.  There isn't an option to flip the pic that I can find anywhere........  If the moderator can flip them please do it....

  3. My tank started to leak at fitting and I did exactly what Vito did and I also cut in a valve that feeds the tank incase it started again. Very easy to do with PEX pipe and PEX valve...................

  4. Had mine replaced on all 4 slides.  They cleaned slides with rubbing alcohol them applied nonskid tape.  Then took a putty knife the same width and dragged it down the tape many times to remove all the sharp points that would cut or wear out the seals.  Now it is slightly ruff and flips the seals perfectly.  Really important to scrape sharp points off.

  5. The ABS light came on while driving and stayed on.  Tried to read codes while stopped at rest stop and got 2 codes on the Tag ABS system only.  They were
    17 - 8 and 17 -3.  Cleared codes and light went out and stayed out for 50 miles then came back on.  Got home and checked codes again,  could not get any codes from main ABS system only from Tag system and same codes were there.  Manual says the 17 - 8 code is the Tag ABS is disabled.  Can't find anything about 17 - 3 code.  Anybody got the code diagnostics??

  6. My exact same toilet did the same thing.  I flipped the switch under the cover to hold the flapper open then I used a Qtip to clean where the flapper sealed. Then I used some silicone grease to lube the slot where the flapper sealed and a little on the flapper too.  Has worked for years now. There was a piece of toilet paper stuck in the slot and water drained out.  Now it will hold water for months....

  7. Driving home yesterday the ABS light came on in the dash.  Next place to stop I read the manual and states the brakes still work but no ABS.  Cleared codes and all was well for

    40 miles then ABS light came on again, drove rest of the way home.  Any ideas what could be wrong???

  8. I replaced the dash radio with a Pioneer unit with a flip up screen.  Got to thinking how good the screen was so I had the back up camera plugged into that unit so now I can have the back up camera showing all the time.  When turn signals are used the Aladdin screen in the Sony monitor shows left or right cameras.

  9. On my tach the needle would bounce up and down by at least 500 RPM's.  I removed the hatch on the dash and with a nut driver I loosened the grounds (white wire) on every gauge, wiggled the wire and retightened them all.  I saw 2 ground blocks on the sides and did the same to all wires there.  That cured the problem and has lasted for 6 years......  I also opened the transfer switch and tightened everything I could find there.  Some were not very tight..  Make sure shore power and inverter are off for that......

  10. His info:

    I saw a brand new Newell pulling into the resort and he side swiped a workers trailer and scratched and dented the entire side of the coach.  It took 4/5 days to complete and it looked as good as new when done.....  Owner told me that is the only painter Newell recommends........

  11. I replaced the NoCold with a Samsung fridge a few years ago and love it.  I was always concerned about dust and water getting into the back of the fridge thru the outside access door.  I purchased a solid steel replacement door (unpainted) from Newmar or Tiffin for $40.  Don't remember which one though.  Most doors are the same and this door fit almost perfect.  I had to file a little to make it perfect.  It even had the screw holes in the perfect place.  Found a guy who does body repair and paint at your site in Indio, CA.  He did an incredible job as it had different color stripes right thru the middle of the door.   He matched the color  perfect and 2 coats of clear on top.
