hi all,  forest is here and we are working on his coach.  then i walked to the drivers side of mine and saw both slides had creeped out.  the bedroom one about an inch because the pins were down.  the salon slide about 3 inches because the pins were not engaged and the slide seal has rolled completely out in places.  

and the 2 inch trim piece below the slide on one piece has slid up and needs moved down and riveted.  

the seal is the original and has the paint from original done so it is about 18 years old.  so am thinking i probably should just put a new one in.  

newell says you can get it back in with some work but it will not be glued in anymore.  i would rather fix it right in the comforts of my shop than on the road somewhere.  

looks like it is time to make some slide support mechanisms to take the slide out.  

always something.

Georgia and I would like to wish all of our Newell friends a wonderful 4th of July. We are truly blessed to live in a country where we are able to travel and enjoy the many wonders the United States has to offer.

Our liberties and freedom came at a stiff price to those forward thinking men and women who decided that we could thrive under a new form of government and were willing to bet their lives on it back in 1776.

I couldn't find any info on the headlights so wanted to share what other member's have helped me learn and give others the opportunity to add to this list based on their coach age.

This is the replacement parts for my 03 but may be helpful to start the search.

• Low Beam - Hella 90mm Xenon part #68139 
  
• High Beam - Hella 90mm Halogen part #68136
  

In addition to the parts listed above I was able to find a much better price at partshubdirect.com

Mine is a 1981 38' with 6V92TA and five-speed allison. It's not rough, but at 37 years old, it's no spring chicken either. I've grown quite fond of it over the years. Before this I had a '78 GMC Palm Beach, which I should have kept...my wife wasn't afraid to drive it and she loved to take trips in it. There was room for both; in fact, I had both for a couple of years before I foolishly sold the GMC. There was a Pace Arrow and a couple of class c's before that.

I've had my Newell for 11 years; it's a work in progress---doing a bit of a remodel at this time to reconfigure it for our full time final residence for my wife and I when I retire. Coincidentally, today is our 40th anniversary.

It was originally configured more as a party coach/family vacation type. I'm not making major changes really, but going all electric, with a full sized refrigerator, oven, drawer dishwasher, induction cooktop. Took out the couch that was behind the driver's chair and blocked and insulated that window; put a 55" plasma over it. Intend to build cabinetry around it and blend all that in with the galley...if I live long enough. It runs and drives great and I've taken it a few places, but these days it's mostly been my "man cave."

All,
How difficult is it to keep a Newell interior comfortable in Phoenix in August? My definition of comfortable would be 75 degrees. Thank you for any and all replies.

Not being a very good planner, I have embarked are trying to find tools to help. This post will let me showcase a new tool I found, RVTripWizard.com, and ask opinions of those more experienced in mountain passages. Hopefully, you can see some of the features of this tool from the pictures. It is only browser based and comes with a steep yearly subscription, but very helpful and even is integrated with RVparkReviews.com.

We are trying to plan a trip from Spearfish, SD to Pagosa Springs, CO. Since I have never driven in the mountains, I am trying to research best routes. Another good, free, and simple resource I found is flattestroute.com. I found 2 general routes coming from the north and posted in pictures below and attached.

Notice the bar below the map. This shows the elevation changes during the route as well as gradient (steepness). The top route has shorter 2-lane roads with a steep 7% grade, and the bottom route is longer on 2-lane road with milder gradient, but high altitudes. Any suggestions from someone with more experience about best route? I may not have a choice, because currently Hwy 160 is closed from fires, but maybe in 2 weeks they will have those under control.

I tried inserting the pictures in this post, but gave me an error "The message is too long. Please enter a message shorter than 65535 characters (currently 3675124)."

Still need some help !
I tracked location of mystery hose it originated from the V of my 83” VT903
Can see and read location from my other post “where does this hose go”
It started out a braided hose and changes to a 5/8 OD air hose and connects to an air canister between the two battery boxes underneath the coach
What is it and what is this for?
I’m going to install new but would really like to know what I’m replacing.
Thanks for any help.

Hi everyone! I am thinking that there are not a lot of Newell Gurus in California. I would like to see how many out there would like to gather together somewhere in California. I would love to hear From anyone!
