It hit me today that in june 2007 i bought my 90 newell.  in november 2010 i bought my 2002.  it is hard to believe it has been over 10 years i have had newells.  

darlene and i have loved the time we have spent in our newells.  more than that, the dear friends we have made and have.  a day hardly goes by without talking or communicating with one or more of you.  

thank you to all of you who have taken the time to become our friends.  

happy tuesday

tom

Just a heads up.

The THM filters from Everpure have been discontinued, with the H-1200 filters cited as a "direct replacement". The H-1200's provide additional filtration over the THM's.

However -- the H-1200's are longer and at least in my coach, cannot be installed in the current configuration. I didn't measure when I was down there but I would guess they were maybe about 5-6" longer.

You can still find some places with the THM filters. I've reordered them with the expectation that I'll need to do some reconfiguration in the water bay next year to get H-1200's to fit.

our own michael day is at the bluebird rally in casper wyoming for the total eclipse.  i am hoping he will give us some photographs as i know he and his friend don have lots of camera gear with them.

I would like to thank all newell owners who have replied to my posts over the last six years. Owning a newell was a great experience and a learning curve. Thanks Tom, Steve and all the rest for the support when needed. Newell coach #372 has moved on to a very nice couple that has stayed in the province of Alberta Canada. Thanks again to everyone

So, the leak we encountered in the bedroom is definitely due to sealing around the window frame. I found 2 specific spots where I could cause water ingress with a hose. For the moment I've applied sealant externally but ultimately plan to remove the window frame and reinstall with a new round of butyl tape.

However the question now stands as to the existing damage. Here's a picture of where the water ingress point was under the corner of the window frame and where it ran down the wall. There is a bit of mold here obviously after pulling the wall paper off.

Any opinions on whether this can be treated or if we need to replace this section of plywood in the outer wall?

If replacement is necessary - how difficult a job is that? Will the foam layer in the wall get damaged by removing the plywood? I also worry that this particular sheet disappears behind the left bedroom wall. The stain stops before the wall but I worry replacement would require replacing the entire sheet, including what is behind the laminate wall.

The transfer switch has reared its head again. It won't engage the generator side. When I have pushed it down manually I got a polarity light above the dash.. how can the generator be a bad polarity? Wonder if it won't engage because it sees a polarity issue .? Or may be it thinks there is an issue..

Listed as a 2012 but my records show it would be the last 2013. 3 slide (2 in salon, 1 in bedroom), rear bath only, unique floor plan, bay drawers. 27,180 miles.

I was at Motorhomes of Texas visiting and looking at two coaches.  This was a fresh one they got back on the lot and I took some pics and decided to post some of it here.  I believe they are looking for $220, but it is not listed yet.

Saw a nice Newell headed south on US 60 today in Surprise, AZ.  At quick glance it kind of looked like the Larry B. coach.

*Our sliding pantry door has started dragging on the bottom edge. I am thinking the hinges may have loosened causing it to sag or drop. Anyone messed with adjusting this type of sliding pantry? Pic below...
