Brought the coach to Bernd at RB Vehicle Service 1719 E Main St, Nacogdoches, TX 75961.
He will be doing some engine work like adjusting the valves and looking at the cooling system. Meanwhile we will be suffering at the newly refurbished Fredonia Hotel in Downtown. They did a great job on the Hotel and it is perfect 60’s retro stying. The restaurant is very nice and price very reasonably. Since they have decent high-speed internet we will stay a few days while the coach is worked on. While we are here we may stop by Foretravel to see some of the new coaches and get some re-decorating ideas. So far it has been a nice trip. Fixed the generator (had to disconnect the fire extinguisher), added the new ATS switch and re-painted the bay with POR-15. Alternator will finally get fixed - the pulley is about 1/4” behind the other pulleys so Bernd and Co. will shim it up to make it fit correctly or get another pulley to fit.
We are headed to Saddlebrook AZ for a week to visit friends. It is north of Tucson. Any suggestions on a Newell friendly park?
We have been intermittent problems getting #2 Slide to retract (come in). Finally went to Newell and had 4 leaks in the hydraulics repaired, however, the slide would still not retract. Newell said that had to go to HWH for electronic board repair. Have appointment Thursday this week. (9/6/18). Will report after this visit.
Been a RV owner for about 4 yrs. My family and I go to Myrtle Beach at least once a yr. We love our unique 94 London Aire but we hope to be in a 2005 - 2007 Newell Coach. The new emissions scare me so trying to steer clear of them. I'm an owner operator trucker driving long haul in mainly the east coast.

668 has been for sale at MOT for about a year. I’ve been giving some thought
To trading for this coach
Does anyone know anything about the history of this coach
A Foretravel Forum member has a unique basement A/C system on his older coach. His board is fried such that a board rebuilder has pronounced it un-repairable.
The following was posted in response to his request for help and ideas. Hope you all will find it interesting if not indeed helpful.
"Tyler, I owned a commercial HVAC company for years. We serviced transport refrigeration as well. I am (unfortunately) very familiar with overly complicated control circuits.
Basic AC systems are very simple. First, the components have to work; meaning the compressor has to run and compress the refrigerant, the condenser fan (outside) has to run and move air, and the evaporator fan (inside) has to run and move air. The compressor will have capacitor and/or a potential relay that will fail. The fan motor may have one as well. These can and should be checked and replaced if needed. I usually replace them anyway since the get weak with age, are inexpensive, and will fail at the most inopportune time.
Next you need a control circuit. The simple circuit is a contactor (relay) to actually connect 120V to the components upon demand, and a thermostat to control to contactor. Typically, the compressor and the condenser fan are controlled by one contactor and the evaporator fan by a second one. This allows the evaporator fan to be on for circulation without cooling.
In your case, I would buy one double pole 20 amp contactor for compressor and condenser fan, one single pole 20 amp contactor for second compressor, and one single pole 20 amp contactor for evaporator fan. All should have 12V coils (for control voltage). You then need a 2 stage cooling battery powered digital thermostat. You will have to pick up 12V to power the control voltage circuit. You have the original wiring schematics so that should not be a problem. Once installed, you have a simple control circuit with readily available components.
TOM"
I didn’t want to post this here but I have searched the site and cannot find a reference to the 5” alternator pulley... Please post if you have the number. My coach has the Alternator, A/C compressor and Engine takeoff (water pump) all on a double belt system... it is eating belts like crazy...

Anyone knows what year Newell started making their coaches with new emission standards? My understanding is Cat and cummins started in 2005 or 2006 .. Am i even close?
