On a recent trip we tried to use the dash heat and found that the sliding temperature control is stuck in the cold position. I can feel the cable attached to the control but have not located a mixing valve I assume it is attached to. 
My questions are, where is the valve and is it necessary to disassemble the dash to get to it. If so how is the padded portion of the dash removed.
Thanks

Anyone have a diagram for the shorepower/generator automatic transfer switch please?  I got a new board from Newell last week and since they burn all their diagrams did not have one.  
I have the ‘old’ style box with a small (about 3” x 6”) circuit board and 2 cutler-hammer 60amp contactors.  I need to be sure the wiring is correct on the circuit board - with the help of a Newell electrician I hooked up the circuit board as it was before but it arced when we flipped the generator on.  The shorepower side seems to work fine.  I was able to use the toothpick trick to get the contactor to stay down and the generator charging.  
Thanks! Adrian

Newell has just added #1503 to the list of pre-owned coaches for sale. http://www.newellcoach.com/newell-coaches/coach-1503/

Country style kitchen sink, desk and a unique 'dining niche' for two with suspended seats. Wood and tile inlay flooring. 

I took the coach into town to get it emissions tested today.  here in az we have to do that every year.  it is a pain in the neck.  

but first a little history with getting my newells emission tested.

1.  my 90 38 ft newell.  first time i took it to the testing place near our home in mesa.  you go through a gate and once you are in, you are in.  i pull into the stall and in front of the door is a block wall about 15-20ft from the door.  uh oh.  it took about a half an hour jockeying to get it out.  

2.  next year i go there and tell them it got stuck.  they gave me an exemption and for the rest of the time i had that coach they waived the testing.  dunno really why, just did

3.  enter the 45'8" 2002 newell.  i know it is not going to fit in that same testing facility.  i call the testing facility central number and they tell me to go to one in apache junction.  it is a serpentine entry i hardly made it through.  the test the coach and then it becomes obvious i am not going to get out the way i am supposed to.  they close the entire place down for half an hour while i manage the turn the coach around in the area and then go out the way i came in.  quite a spectacle. 

4.  the next year i go to the one that allegedly school busses and tour bus companies use in downtown phoenix.  i barely got in there and barely out as well.  the first thing they say is something like that is huge.  we dont get them that big.  

5.  then i move to the country.  i go to one in suprise az.  and surprisingly, if you get in the right stall, it is easy to get out of.  except that first time i go there my entry step gets stuck out and the width of the doors in the facility is so tight that i had to get the steps in before it would get out of the stall.   

6.  the next few years no problems at the same place.  

7. TODAY....a beautiful fall day here.  80 some degrees.  i put the slides in, air it up and pull out of the shop.  happy to drive the newell.  it is a bout 15 miles to the testing facility.  i know i need to be in the only stall that i can get out of without a hassle.  i get there and it is packed.  the stall i need is closed for repairs.  now i am in the line for the stall i know i cant make the turn out of .  the guy comes to me and says a word i dont use and i said i wouldnt be able to get out.  he said....i know, but you cant back out.  

so, i get tested, and the guy says something about driving a house.  now 3 guys are guiding me out.  i have to pull into their employee parking lot, then jockey around in reverse to back into a lane so i could get out.  as i was backing out of the lot, i hear scraping on the roof.  i motioned to the guy helping me to the tree.  i said it is scraping....he said the classic statement.

IT'S ONLY A TREE

I tell him i really dont want to hit it.  it seemed a foreign thought to him.  

i got out and enjoyed the drive home.  i park the coach outside the shop and wash it down before i put it away

as i was driving home i contemplated just keeping going , but alas, i needed to go home

happy monday

Hello all...

We had our oils changed and a basic service at Choo Choo Express in Chattanooga today. Good new s that almost everything is great. Bad news is that the rattle I have been hearing is not a loose exhaust bracket as I thought, but the alternator. After removing the bed for access, we can't figure how to get to the alternator. Joel at Choo Choo thinks that there used to be an access panel. Attached is a photo of the bed platform. Any ideas? The alternator is gear driven and mounted top, front on this 8V92.

1986 Newell Private Coach 
163k
Garage kept, never stored outdoors
40 feet
475 Detroit with Allison auto shift
4 cylinder Cummins generator 
New tires
All new batteries 
All options offered from Newell in 1986 

It is coach number C2051. Designed for Art and Donna Nottingham 

I’m selling it for an older friend of mine and he has taken great care of it. I have several photos, and videos available. Videos of the bus going down the road, and the operation of most all systems. Very clean, no rust unit. Everything works as it should to my knowledge. 

Asking price is $22,500 however he is open to offers. He really would love to keep it but he has a business opportunity that is forcing him to sell it to make room so it must go ASAP

I can answer any questions you might have through text, phone, or email. I am attaching a few photos. If you would like additional photos or video, please done hesitate to ask. 

Located in Northwest Missouri. Can help with shipping or pickup arrangements.

Thanks

Hello everyone,  our names are Paul and Pam and we just registered to your site today.  Paul is what he calls computer illiterate, so I will need to post everything for him. Now I'm not real sure that he is really illiterate, or just really smart to get me to do all his typing.  Anyway, we have a 2004 quad slide Newell with an Acqua Hot, washer dryer, and a whirlpool tub that we will attempt to winterize today.  The winters get cold, already had nights below freezing, so we need to get moving on getting this done.  We have the coach in a building with 50amp, but it is non heated and the power goes out quite often in the winter and spring. We live out in the country, so the power company is a bit slow on fixing the older power lines when they fail. We are open to any advise you can provide for winterizing our coach. 

Thank you.

Hi all, 

I’m guessing many of you have blinds similar to mine; the manufacturer is Somfy, they are motorized fabric horizontal blinds.  I’ll post a picture below. 

Occasionally, specks of dirt or (God forbid) dead bugs/flies get trapped inside the blinds.  In our six months of owning the coach, we’ve just kind of learned to live with it. Until today; that was my project. Long story short, I brought an air hose inside the coach and thought I’d give that a try. It works absolutely perfect. With about 30 pounds of air,  you can start in the middle of the shade and blow the particles out to either side.  It worked absolutely perfect! And I was surprised at how much stuff was actually trapped in each blind when I started looking at them in detail.

I started the newell up to put it in heated shop a bit ago. It has Bennett air shifter with toggle switch for gear changing. It shifted into reverse ok but will not shift back to neutral etc. the main thing that has changed is that it is now 30 degrees. So I’m stuck here in the driveway by myself with no one to help trouble shoot!! At least I’m not on the road
