The person that purchased my coach #579 hired the firm posted below and Eric was the inspector.  I was most impressed by the completeness of his inspection.  He spent 5 1/2 hours on the inspection and sent away liquid samples for all liquids, including Detroit engine, generator and AquaHot.  I am posting this because many have asked on the forum who to hire to check out their potential purchase.

So now that I have my air leaks under control and my furnaces working I am focusing on my tag brakes.
The issue is that they lock up to easily leaving 6 inch flats on them every time but they do smoothen out over time but by then I usually get more flats from hard stops. So I took the coach in and had them backed off supposedly further than usual setting but after I tested the brakes and the drivers side tag wheel locked up. Before both side locked together. So I figured maybe the mechanic's wrench slipped and his settings were not a match. Frustrated and not knowing much about these brakes I went to you tube and learned as much as I could. So seeing how easy it is to adjust I readjusted them myself to recommended settings which is touch the shoes to the drum and back off 1/2 turn, at least I know they are both at the same setting. Checking travel distance for the push rod which is called to be less than 2 inches I show 1.5 inches so they are in spec. I have not tested them yet and don't plan on it till we leave to go back east probably within in a couple weeks. I know some of these same length coaches were made without tags, whay couldn't the brakes be taken out of use? My issue in trying to solve this over the years has been other mechanics checking the adjustments, adding more pressure to the tag but nothing has worked and tires are not cheap. I am told even If the brakes are backed way off being auto slack adjusters they will go back to where they should be so that does not seem to be the answer. Some say to Cage the brakes, some say to disconnect and plug the air lines. 
Would the DOT have an issue with disconnecting the brakes?

Hi, everybody...

I've been lurking for a bit, and decided to register, yesterday.  Never having owned a motorhome/coach or any other type of RV, I'm new to it ALL.  I have always loved to drive and have driven cross country several times, so the prospect of RV travel has been on my wish list for years.  My wife and I would be occasional users with maximum traveling periods of, perhaps, a month.  For example, we're Philadelphia sports fans, so the concept of following the Phillies on a road trip would be on our "hit" list.  If all goes according to plan, we hope to make a purchase in the next 12-18 months.

My initial search was focused on new or late model Tiffin & Newmar products, but a friend who is a former Newell owner suggested that I consider them.  When I told him that I wasn't in the Newell price range, he recommended buying an older unit due the build quality.  I hadn't thought of going in that direction, initially, so, I started digging, and that's what has led me to this site.  I've never actually seen in a Newell in person (Philadelphia doesn't seem to be a hot bed for them!), and I've only walked through a handful of rigs of any make, so, hence, the "green as grass" subject line.  Frankly, we do still have to decide whether we want 45 feet of motorhome...plus toad...but that's part of the process, I guess.  Driving something of that size doesn't really concern me, but I do have concerns about "fitting" where we might want to go.  If we do end up in the Newell camp, it looks like our price point will put us in the 2004-2006ish range, and I see that spans a couple "generations"...don't know the significance of that, but I'm sure I'll learn.  :  (Note:  I do know that Tiffin/Newmar & Newell are totally different animals, so don't mean to imply otherwise.)

Sorry for the long introduction, but figured that a little bit of our backstory couldn't hurt.  Glad to be here...

        I have a large air leak coming from this. I'm not quite sure what the real name is, but it's between the supply air line and the 6-pack in the engine compartment. It's not the original but one replaced on the road 9 years ago. I need to source one from somewhere.

I need to drain and refill my AquaHot antifreeze.  Please let me know where the drain plug is and how much does it hold.

After 17 years of owing Newell 89, 96, and 2004 i will be traveling by car and pick-up now. I have taken my coach to Motorhomes of Texas for them to sale and it should be on their site soon. The coach is in excellent condition with many upgrade and inprovements. I look forward to staying in touch with all of my friend I have met from my Newell ownership. Will be at the Guru Rally in Bella Terra, but will be staying in a house on the beach.

Will be selling 17 years of parts for Newell's I am out of the Motorhome travel.
