    Answered Green rabbit symbol on Spartan light bar display?

    Hi, folks. Been away for a while and getting ready to sell the 2018 Newmar Mountain Aire. When I started it today, there was a green symbol on the Spartan light bar display of what appears to be a rabbit in a circle. I can’t seem to find the answer to what it means with online research. Anyone...

    FYI Engine won’t shut off: Part III…and hopefully the last!

    Just received a call from Freightliner Northwest where the coach has been for the past two weeks. There’s some good news, some very good news and some questionable news. And, just for the curious, Freightliner Northwest in Mount Vernon, Washington, is also a Spartan 1W (top level) service...

    Any aircraft enthusiasts on board?

    Our sticks n’ bricks is located just a few miles south of the Canadian border in Western Washington state. On the first full weekend of August each year, our neighbors in Abbotsford, BC, host a major air show and we get some of the benefits without even buying a ticket! From about Thursday...

    Recall Hit the fuel rail leak recall trifecta today!

    The recall notice from Cummins arrived in today’s mail. Last week, I got fuel rail leak recall notices from Newmar and Spartan. All referenced the same NHTSA recall No. 21E032. The big difference in the notice from Cummins is that it said they have developed a fix and to take the coach to...

    Alert Fuel rail recall notice directly from Newmar

    A recall notice directly from Newmar regarding the fuel rail issue arrived in today’s mail. It referenced the earlier Spartan recall notice that arrived a few weeks ago. Interestingly enough, it also said that no corrective action has yet been identified and another notice would be forthcoming...

    Question Is the engine shutdown relay part of the ECM?

    Since replacing the ignition switch didn’t fix the problem of the engine not shutting off in our 2018 Mountain Aire, I’m moving to the next step. As I understand the shut-down circuit, a relay activates a solenoid that closes the fuel valve, shutting down the engine. Does anyone know the...

    Question Installing an ignition switch?

    I received the new ignition switch for the 2018 Mountain Aire from Spartan today and am hoping it will solve the engine shut-off problem discussed in a previous thread. I plan to install it myself and could use some advice. Examining the new switch, I can see that it connects to the electrical...

    Not the end of the road yet…

    …but, I think we can see it from here! We started the process of listing our Polson lot for sale today and as soon as it goes live, we’ll post a link to it in the new RVF Real Estate Listings forum @Neal recently announced. Not an easy decision, but we’re secure in the thought that it is the...

    Engine won’t shut off: Part II

    Now I know what Alice experienced when she went “Through the Looking-Glass!” And, I understand the full meaning of “You can’t get there from here!” The problem of the Cummins engine not shutting off is intermittent; we haven’t found any pattern to it. The local shop working on it at the...

    Alert Unintended awning deployment redux

    The replacement Girard awning was installed today by Premier RV Services of Oregon in Junction City. It looks great! That said, no replacement controller or other electronics was received, so we are still using the ones that were in place when the awning unexpectedly deployed while we were...

    Alert “Heat dome” blistering the West!

    Yowser, it is hot…and is forecast to get even hotter! We’re in normally temperate Junction City, Oregon, for the next few days for service work on the coach (including getting the third AC working again). It is currently 93 degrees with tomorrow’s high temp forecast at 100 and Sunday’s at 106...

    FYI Stellar windshield replacement

    We spent the past 2 days at RV Glass Solutions (“The Glass Experts”) in Coburg, Oregon, having our windshield replaced. They just released the coach back to us this morning (we were able to stay in it each night, however). I must say that we have NEVER had a better customer service experience...

    Question Now what? Can’t shut engine off

    We have now had two instances where turning the key off...and even removing it...wouldn’t shut the engine off. Cycling the key 10-15 times finally shut it down. Tried several restarts and it works...right now. Bad ignition switch or relay? Called Newmar and the said “call Spartan.” Called...

    FYI Smoked Pork Chops Polson

    Got the RecTec pellet grill/smoker going this afternoon and cooked some thick-cut, boneless pork chops for dinner. And, they turned out great. Accompanied by LadyDi’s rendition of my Dad’s favorite “Bear Hunter Potatoes,” half an avocado and some cherry tomatoes, and washed down with a...

    FYI Newmar just doesn’t seem to get it!

    Recently, we posted a thread about our Girard awning extending on its own while we were underway. We had talked with a Newmar customer service representative immediately after the unexpected awning deployment and they ably assisted us in deactivating the awning controller so this would not...

    Question Windshield replacement with RV Glass Solutions?

    Anyone have experience with RV Glass Solutions (a subsidiary of Coach Glass) for a windshield replacement? We took a nasty rock hit on our way from Washington to Oregon and cracks are running in several directions. Fortunately, the hit was on the passenger side and the cracks have not run over...

    Sailing the Mountain Aire!

    We were “under sail” today with the MADP. :oops: Pulling into a TA in Oregon this morning, we were followed by a trucker frantically waving out his window and blowing his air horn. Our Girard awning had deployed at speed and when we pulled in, it brushed one of the canopy supports and started...

    FYI Reqtec RT-340 pellet grill just fits in cargo bay

    Yahoo...it fits! The tape measure said it would, but you know how tape measures are. :rolleyes: Getting ready to hit the road early next week, so rolled the grill out to the coach today for a trial fit and LadyDi helped me lift it in. It fit with literally 1/16” to spare! The back of the...

    Alert Guaranty RV in Junction City, Oregon, apparently has new owners

    I learned this morning that Guaranty RV in Junction City, OR, is being acquired by Bish RV, headquartered in Idaho. Hopefully, the sterling Newmar service long provided by Guaranty RV will continue under the new ownership. It would be a shame to lose what is arguably the best Newmar service...

    Anyone flat-towing a 2020 Lincoln Nautilus?

    We’re getting ready to have LadyDi’s 2020 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve fitted out with a Roadmaster towing package (direct-connect base plate and Nighthawk tow bar) and Air Force One braking system. The RV shop is backed up for several weeks, so it will be early April before the install can be...
