Hey there Tom! Thanks for watching, the compliment, and commenting! It's just one of those "easiest" things to do, yet seems to pose so many questions. As you know, it's actually not only easy, but I kinda think it's better on the entire coach's inverters and electronics if they can be powered down. Though commonplace with other brands, Newell has resisted recommending it for the "normal" user-base.

@@nevilleabraham4318 thank you for watching and commenting! As with so many things, the pricing for an annual service has gone up dramatically since the time of this video. But, as you say, you have to do it now or you’ll pay in the long run…sometimes worse!

Thank you very much! This is a personal decision that is based upon upon my technical ability and desire for modern features. So, as much as I hate the concerns of DEF systems, it’s a fact you can’t get around if you don’t want the “aging” hassles of a coach that’s going to be 25 years old. In and of themselves, dealing with aging motor coaches and the problem with parts availabilities, they both have distinct disadvantages.

The ignornet can be cruel, indeed. I have no experience with the Active Air Dam, but it sounds like your Air Dam was NOT trimmed correctly to provide a relief cut around the plates. This cut should be ¾" x 3-5/8"; according to RoadMaster.

Yes, the plastic coupling is a double-female which, normally, would screw into the male threads of the tank’s outlet. But, since I’ve converted the entire system to quick-connects, the threads become reversed; hence putting the males into that double-female in order to make the correct connection into the outlet.

Very kind words, thank you very much!! I'm glad it helped you.

Wow, that was so thoughtful of you…I think you’re my FIRST super thanks! 🏆

@@alex-sd so glad this helped straighten things out for you! Thanks for letting me know.

You’re so welcome. Thank you for letting me know!

@@fitfifties yes…have heard about that! I’m also experimenting with Mineral oil tag forms a barrier. Still stains a bit though.

Awesome!

@@quegemo thank you. Glad it helped.

Great...go for it...no turn'n back!

Depends on the type you've used, how you've installed them, and the care given to the O-ring. The systems I build use an internal o-ring which I keep lubed, and seal all of my fittings and not had leaks for years over dozens of systems and fittings. Thank you.

@@RVSquaredSteve would love to know the brand you used. I ordered I thought mid grade but decent packs from Amazon. Most are new but especially out of the softener they drip some. I need to make it work otherwise it’s a much longer recharge and setup time. I’m also trying to find the right box to install attic this in the heated bay for winter so maybe Pex fittings. Idk yet. Loved the information.

Thank you for watching! For washing, yes, your can put the deionizer as the last component. Using DI to fill your tank, however, is expensive and will cause increased resin changing.

@@chriskendrick4737 the first stage will grab Iron for you. You’ll just have to change it out frequently. That’s the good advantage of a clear canister. Thank you for watching and your comment.

@@Transforming2024 no no. This adaptor is ONLY to bring two 30A supplies into a 50A. What you’re asking is to have a two 50A into single 50A and that is not in the scope of this video and would cause serious issues which is why that type of Dogbone isn’t made.

Thank You. I might have other questions. My wife and I are new at this and still learning and sometimes it’s a little overwhelming, but we are having fun.

@@Transforming2024 hang in there. It gets better!

Glad you liked it!

Thank YOU for watching and the compliment!

In certain aspects yes. However, if your coach isn't SilverLeaf based, then you'll not be able to run the telematics for remote monitoring.

@@RVSquaredSteve Thank you for the Reply Steve! I am not at all familiar with the technology aspect of these coaches and alot of it goes right over my head. I am sure my coach does not have a silver leaf based system however. All my controls are done through standard separate switches and nothing is integrated together. Remote monitoring would be nice, but A major goal for myself is to have all my coach controls for the lights, stereo, blinds, hot water heater, slides etc onto some kind of panel to condense the need for walking all over the coach and i would love to have multiple control panels that are able to control the same functions at different places in the coach.

@@skater506 feel free to chat me up and maybe we can conjure something up. Of course, a really brilliant collection of minds is on newellgurus.com. They are a creative bunch.

@@RVSquaredSteve I would love too, there is one other problem however..... My coach is a Travel Supreme, not a newell hahaha.

@@skater506 no problem whatsoever! These systems I build are 100% universal!!

@@bigrig. wonderful!! So glad it helped you!!

It varies slightly by location due to the amount of leasing and operating expenses. But, be prepared for around $120 per foot.

Well, thank you very much for that compliment!!

@@borgimplantdan you’re welcome and thank you for watching and commenting!

This is a great comment and the reason I took the time to produce this video, which should serve as a timeless reminder for all of us!

Thanks! Works so great.

No I do not. But I do assemble, test, and deliver full systems them for those who’d like to purchase.

Thank you! Yes, we discussed that. The surfaces I use Bugs N All on are all XPEL PFF, so it really doesn’t matter. But nonetheless, they didn’t feel it would harm the SENSHA ceramic.

@@RVSquaredSteve That's what I was wondering was about the ceramic.

Thank you for the compliments, Jim! You're absolutely correct about checking your slide tops for any debris!

Thank you, Jim! Yes, I use a pretty "lean" mixture, though, especially when using this low-end PW. Otherwise, I'd have 2 birthdays and an anniversary pass before getting all of it washed off! LOL

Great to hear!!! Thank you for responding to let me know.

👍

Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, I get FULL flow with the .5 micron! I strongly encourage you to switch to that cartridge.

Yes, the Amprobe is designed to detect HVAC leaks.

Argh. You’re absolutely right. That was a complete slip of the tongue; no idea why I said that! I always try so hard to be accurate…but blew it this time!

Thank you for watching and the compliment. Newell is currently using DOT compression fittings for the suspension components only. Engineering will continue to use the standard push to connects for the rest of the coach. They feel using those standard of the industry fittings is appropriate and not willing to change. Obviously, it comes down to ease and speed of installation.

You’re welcome! Enjoy…and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be sure you’ve engaged Neutral Tow as well as supplied your Raptor with a 12v charger lead.

@RVSquaredSteve I went with a Jackery portable power to run mu patriot portable braking system to run it vs trying to run a hot lead from rv or any battery in towed vehicle. Works well.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching. I’ve checked the link and it’s correctly bringing me to the correct unit.

Yes, the CAC Boot was leaking.

The systems I design and build have many sets; ranging from 5 to 8, depending on the components put in play. The list is there as a reference and the QC come in sets of 3, so 2 packs are needed for most applications. Thanks for watching.

Good question. Oil does have the chance to leak or dissipate on any trans, really. Shouldn’t be very much, though, and if it’s an ongoing issue, it should be looked at.

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Absolutely! It’s a full functioning Multi-meter and will measure AC/DC voltage, Resistance (ohms), as well as NFC for sensing live circuits!

It's definitely worth doing...really with any coach! Thanks for watching.

Thank you, Dan! Thanks for the suggestion on the Corner Weighing; I'll see what I can put together. Appreciate the suggestion.

NICE! Yes, I run my 3-Stage before the Softener. It's gives 5, 1, and 0.5 micron filtration. Thank you for watching and the compliment!!

THANK YOU!! And thanks for watching. All the best to you as well. 👊

Thanks for watching, but I'm not sure of what "comments about a 50 amp plug" you are referring to? Good luck on 1247!
