Has anyone been through the Pisgah, Appalachians, and Cherokee National forests on U.S. 26 going north in their Newell? Just need to know if it is relatively straight or winding, and safe to do or stressful? I have my doubts, but would like to hear from someone's first hand experience. Please let me know asap! Thanks!

I purchased a used 1996 38 foot Newell RV and trying to figure out how the AC works. I turned on the generator and the AC worked, but the two back of the air vents had not air coming out and didn't appear to be any air coming out in the bedroom.  I didn't have it plugged in, so the generator is probably all that makes it the AC work.  The engine running makes the front AC work, but I don't think it makes the larger unit work.  Can anyone explain how the AC works with the front, verses the middle and back?

Thanks,
Jerry

My name is Carol and I was very glad to find this site. I have been rving since 1990 and have owned several different motorhomes. I currently own a 40' Country Coach Magna. 
I have ALWAYS wanted a Newell so now it the right time to sell my mh and find one! I am looking for a 40' one however. That length is plenty long enough for me. I am looking for one with at least 2 slides around a 2003. There is one in Michigan for $199,000 with 3 slides. It has been for sale for quite awhile which makes me nervous. It may have a problem with it?? 
Anyways, glad to find this site!

Last night my refrigerator and water pump went out.  Went underneath to the inverter breaker box.  No switched breakers.  Unplugged the 30 amp plug from inverter and plugged it into AC outlet.  My wife says something went POP and a piezo alarm started screaming. Unplugged from AC and went back to inverter.  Refrigerator and water pump came back on line, but piezo still screaming, now going on 14 hours.  Spent three hours on the phone to the Newell emergency guys, tried a bunch of stuff, but no results.  Found that by throwing a breaker in the rear box that covers the "game table" and slide outlets. the piezo cut out.  Unfortunately, it also shut off the refrigerator again Ice cream already melted.  So switched it back on to keep refrigerator running.  Cannot locate the piezo so I can rip its little guts out, sound is too generalized.  So I have two problems.  The noise maker is powered by AC through the rear breaker box and can't be shut off without shutting off the frig.  Even if I could shut it off, it leaves the problem of what the alarm is for.  Don't want to drive with an uncorrected or at least un-understood problem  Ran all the usual scenarios with two guys from newell: no antennas up, no alarm on steps, not connected to batteries engine or house.

If I hightail it to Miami, I'll arrive with a screaming alarm on Thursday night and get to listen to it all weekend.  This is really hard on the nerves.  Any help appreciated.

Hello all gurus 
Been on this site quite a bit but this is a first time post 
My problem 1983 classic engine model VT-350 (903)
Found I was leaking quite a bit of  antifreeze to the tune of 5 to 6 gallons every 200 miles
I found the braided hose that has a hole in it due to rubbing on the trans housing....please bare with me as I try to describe location. Looking at VT 903 passenger side , right under the turbo to the right, under what I’m gonna call a linkage bridge is where this hose is installed to a 90 degree fitting and that  housing is marked with a bunch of #’s one being 155964 air inlet . The braided hose is a heavy Duty braided 1/2 Diameterabout 2’ long and was connected To a much cheaper thinner hose, located by the trans driver side and heads forward. I lose it as soon as it gets past the battery box underneath the coach.
The question? What is it? Where does it go?
What is the housing under turbo.... fuel pump ,  governor ?
Thanks in advance.

We ran out of diesel while running the generator yesterday, we opened the valve to share diesel with the main tank and today we wen't to start it, it took a few tries but after running for like 10 minutes it stoped on it's own, we started it back again and it works but after a few minutes it shutdowns, oil pressure is normal and water temp is fine, should I bleed air from the lines? Change the fuel filter?

Thank you

All,
In a different thread i discussed an issue that I had with the above companies external surge protector model EMS-PT50C. I received late in the week a new Progressive Industries surge protector model EMS-PT50X. Took in to the coach to plug into the 50 amp service. The coach was plugged into 50 amp service and receiving power to the coach. Unplugged the 50 amp cord and plugged the new surge protector in to the 50 amp service. The protector went through it's diagnostics and and normal readings were provided. Plugged the 50 amp cord into the protector and the coach did not receive any power. Exactly the same result as a couple of weeks ago as what happened with the old protector. Unplugged both the 50 amp cord from the protector and the protector from the 50 amp service. Plugged the 50 amp cord into the 50 amp service and power was restored to the coach.
What is the problem? Do I have a coach problem or another surge protector problem? This has become a frustrating situation.
