FYI Newmar Academy Overview

[DennisT]

Are there informational handouts that we can keep from the seminars? How many notes did you find yourself taking? This seems like it will be a worthwhile experience.

As a retired technician, I was intrigued when I read that they discuss "encoders" in the class when talking about synchronizing motors. I had a "work-flashback"!

Thank you for your daily summaries!

Yes they provide handouts specific to your coach and floor plan.

I took a bunch of notes personally - can’t have too much information.

They are looking for a way to make the power points etc available to those that take the class so we would have everything they went through. I suggested Newgle and linked to the coach page as people attend - will see what happens as all classes have asked for the info.

A couple other items I remembered….

If you are getting the back of the coach like an icebox and the front seems to be having trouble keeping up (ours does this at times)
— turn the fan on the rear a/c on low.

Since the ductwork is all one big loop the fan pressure from the rear will help keep the cooling up front. A few people here tried that after the A/C day and we were all happy that it actually made a difference.

One other nice thing that came out of it - one couple had a replacement of an air conditioner done and it didn’t seem to work right after that. Turns out the installing dealer did not install the triangular gasket they use underneath to split the supply and return. They checked after the class and it was missing. Had Newmar fix it here and they were going back to the dealer for refunding money.

Thanks for the write up … and the fan tidbit too. I just reset ours to see if it helps. It’s 100 degrees sensed by the rooftop sensor right now..and we are definitely in full sun…. A/C unit’s getting a workout.
