Just found this website that plots the elevation changes and % grades along your route.  Looks like it could be helpful.

Our 1984 has a Xantrax 3000 watt inverter . It is "softwired" in to the system. In the past it has worked perfectly. It is Fed 12v from the coach batteries, and producing 120 volts on 2  receptacles on the face of the inverter. The receptacles have a 14 gauge portable cord plugged in to them going into the deep dark mystery area of the coach. I disconnected shore power and found that one of the circuits is not merging in to the coach system. It is the inverter powered items on the drivers side. The passenger side is working fine,  and both receptacles on the inverter are producing 120 volts 15 amps.I am not clear on how these two circuits are merged with the coach. Is there a protection device i have missed?  My redneck solution is to gorilla tape portable cord down the sides of the coach, and then in the windows with the blinds flapping in the wind. Might as well give some rv parks a legitimate reason to refuse this classic . (Just kidding. )

Hello Gurus.........

For personal reasons, I have my coach #599 for sale.  I have had it listed on Craigslist for about 3 months now; I've had it on eBay twice; it's also on RVTrader.com.  Below are links to current ads.

https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2001-Ne...5002020307

Other than on guy that wants me to donate my Newell I haven't had much action or interest.  Do you think it's because of price or is it just that Newells command a very small market and it just takes a while?  Or something else???

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated, I thank you in advance.

Bryan

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get the monitor out of my dash, I've removed the wiring no problem, but I think the whole lower dash (above the slide out drawer) might have to come out.  Anybody successfully done this or have an advice?  Here's a pic of my configuration.

Hello folks,

I am in need of a air/water sequencing valve for a Microphor toilet. Mine is acting up.

Also the flapper does not close tight enough and allows the water to leave the bowl. Any advice on what to do to make some adjustments ?
Thanks

By the questions you will surely tell I'm a Newby.  For 15 years i'v owned a 40' Vogue V.  absolutely no issues othere than it's overweight.  but it's time to find something else.  We don't sit much as traveling is more fun.  We are certainly not full timers.  The wow factor of 4 slides is great BUT!

I'm looking at 2 or may 3 slides probably 2001 and newer (probably due to monetary constraints up to about 2005) 

I know this is a loaded question but are there any particular problem areas that stand out  in the 2001 and later Newells 

So, Any Prevost style delaminations, radiator issues, suspension (new ZF suspensions or steerable tag really of any major benefit),  overweight (blown tires are a bitch!), how often do air bags need changing,  were the new Valid slides used to fix an inherent problem with the old?,  or anything in general to look out for?  

Any leads or guidelines would certrainly be appreciated

Thanks

Bath and a half, quad slide, heated tile flooring throughout. This beautiful coach will be coming soon to Newell as a trade-in. Since it isn't listed on Newell's site yet, I am posting some photos of the coach when it was first completed at the end of 2016. This was the second 2018 built.

   

   

   

One of my favorite Newells!!

We attended the first Rally sponsored by RVillage last weekend. It was at Elkhart Campground, close enough to home that DW could do her shift at the hospital and I could tend to business as well.
I got to meet one of our neighboring campers who was driving a Leisure Travel Vans Serenity. He gave me a quick tour of the coach. I was impressed with the quality of the materials and construction. If I were in the market for a Type C MH they would be on my list.
