Hello folks,
What a great community of Newmar owners. Thanks in advance for your advice and comments.
We just got our coach and there are a few things we need to sort out to make things better. Hope somebody has the knowledge to point us in the right direction. Love the layout. This is the one that became the Essex Oxford 4371 in 2003.
The dash A/C does not blow cold air. The system is full of freon but the compressor in the back dose not start when the dash switch is moved to A/C or Max A/C. Is there a way to test if the compressor it good and maybe a sensor is the trouble ?
The roof A/C cold air and intake distribution system sure is different in both the lounge and bedroom. I want to install some ceiling mirror medallions and was wondering if anybody has an idea where the ceiling joists or supports are that I can anchor the medallions in. Does anybody have a diagram of how the stacked chambers of the A/C system run? How wide ? Where they start, stop,etc ? Maybe some dimensions and relative positioning ?
The lounge entertainment are with the chair and A/V system is nice but we would like to put another couch there. Has anybody made the move ? How and where have you relocated the audio/video electronics from the cabinet , sat dish control system , generator autostart panel etc ?
Has anybody found a Directv receiver to work with the Trackview LM dish ? It appears that it is the older technology where it has to have a Low Speed Data port connection to function....
The driver Panasonic screen front unit works fine with the camera and CD changer, but I can not figure out how to turn on the navigation portion with the Avic Navigation module that takes the Nav disks (above the driver in the cabinet). I am wondering if there is a trick to get that unit to turn on, there is no power button on it .....Checked the connections and all seem fine there....mystery.
Has anyone changed the carpet in the livingroom and installed laminate flooring ? The kitchen slide goes down to floor level. How does one change the carpet there where the slide glides on carpet ?
How do you change the light bulb in the roof markers on top of the coach ? I can not figure out how the lenses open to get to the bulbs . There are no screws....Afraid to pry up the plastic and risk breaking it....
Has anyone upgraded the day/night pleated shades with the MCD Duo roller shades ? Do I need to make new valances or the existing one are deep enough ?
The slide locks rattle in transit. Is there a trick to quiet them down, a particular position that they should be put in ? Never dealt with this kind before....
The lounge slide ( long one behind driver) seems to open ok at the bottom but leaves a gap at the top. Could go out another inch at the top to be flush against the gaskets. Is there an adjustment to look at ? It travels in and out fine, closes perfectly. There is no obstruction or something up there when it opens (that I can see) , just does not go out all the way a the top.....or maybe it needs the rollers adjusted at the floor level to square it off ? Can't seem to find access to the rollers or supporta at floor level either..... You can tell it is leaning a bit when fully open because the kitchen overhang cabinet is slightly tilted down....an inch at the top would make it flush against the top lip seal and straighten the cabinets....
Thanks in advance. God Bless
