Bear with me for a few minutes. This is our first RV (coach, rig, not sure how to call it yet) and we are really happy with it.

We drove around 18.000 miles this year and we haven't had any major issues with it. Before buying it we were really concerned with a 8V92 engine being old but I think that we were very lucky as the engine is amazing, we ran it thru really cold and really, really hot outside temps  and it kept up perfectly fine (one of the inclines was very steep, the steepest that we climbed yet with 110 degrees outside and  every single truck was going just 5 miles faster than us, this happened a few weeks ago at California going from Palms Springs to Yosemite Valley thru Mojave. At one point we disconnected the Jeep that we tow just in case (water temp was a hairlines over 190, analogue gauge read but still)

As comfortable and functional as it is inside I would like to remodel the interior badly but my wife says that it might be better to just buy a newer model with slides, so the complicated question that we have is what were the factors that you had in mind when you upgraded from a non-slide to a slide RV and why? 

I feel that we have everything we need with this coach so it has been difficult for us to keep discussing it with any more arguments than to avoid the interior remodel. I still have in my head that slides might one more thing that might break but I never had any real experience with it.

I'm under the impression that Series 60 engine won't give us a lot more in the area of taking care of overheating (other than more way to control it electronically), is this right?

LOVE the classics!!!  https://tulsa.craigslist.org/rvs/d/40-ne...48494.html

This 1995 Newell just popped up on CL here in Michigan:  https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/rvs/d...73512.html

Would you believe there are 10  Newell’s setting on this lot?

I need to replace the fan motor on our dash air condenser. It was manufactured by Mitsuba which is now Honda. I have found a similar motor on Amazon and it is a replacement unit for a HONDA. The fan unit was sold by Specific Climate which is no longer in business.
Has anyone replaced this motor and if so is there a better source for parts?

Coach 410, 1996, has a single front SCS on the PS in front of the entry door and dual rear SCS on the DS behind the house battery compartment. I found that the hot discharge air exhausts out the bottom of the coach. The outlet is located forward of the intake air which is located under the bottom of the coach and aft of the hot air discharge. 

So, the cooler outside air is preheated by mixing of exhaust and ambient air. On very hot days, both A/C's struggle. Sometimes, the thermal on the compressor opens or the circulation fan stops.

Cresly at Newell said they used to build a diversion duct for the hot air discharge.
OK. 

To test, I have placed a divider between the intake and discharge openings on the bottom of the coach. Efficiency of the system, lack of compressor dropout and cooler inside temps seem to be realized.

I am currently fabricating a mud flap material, flexible diversion system between the two openings. Hot air should be pushed forward and cooler air sucked from a cooler location.
Because ground clearance is so minimal, I'll see if the diversion dams will make it over the terraces at the ranch, dips into RV parks and alligators on the freeway. If not, at least I had a wonderful experience learning to accept failure.

I’ll post photo's later.

Our current seats have only lap seat belts.  

We are considering replacing both chairs that have integrated shoulder/lap belts, and am looking for suggestions on where to purchase new chairs.  How difficult are the seats to replace (can I do this myself?).  Current drivers seat is an air ride, electric position seat and the co-pilot seat is manual position, recliner, non-air ride seat.   Also where is the best location to purchase new seats.  If needed we would like suggestions where we could have the seats installed if I can't replace them myself?  We will be at Newell at the end of October but the replacement cost from the factory is prohibitive.  So we are looking for other options.

Just ran across a great video of the Screamin' Jimmies. Enjoy and learn some interesting facts.

Some of you may already know about the lifetime warranty on your Fantastic Fan dome top. But for those of you who do not, just go to the Dometic web site, they own the Fantastic Fan line.  Call Dometic and they will replace for free, shipping included! 
I called them and told them one of mine shattered into pieces and the other has a crack in it, and they sent me 2 new ones!
Hope this helps you when you are in the need, as one day you will need it!
