Hi, Looking  for a thermostat sender or part # on the Aqua-Hot unit. Its the one that lets u know what the temp. is on your control panel. The control panel gauge shows ??? & that's it. The sender is very small up in the right hand corner of the tank & has three wires coming out (Red Blk & Green).
Thanks

Great project for a retired engineer looking for a winter project..

Remove driver , (dash) control panel?

Looking for someone who has had the dash control panel out on an 84 era coach

I am replacing the old 50 amp manual  transfer switch with a new auto transfer switch. The original one was working fine, but had been repaired many times over the years, leaving  a nest of wires inside it that made me uncomfortable.

I now have no use for the selector switch in the dash for shore/ generator, or the associated shore power indicating light. I removed the 10 screws on the drivers control panel, thinking there would be long enough  leads on the back of  it to gain access . I am not able to lift the panel up more than an inch or two, and don't want to break or  unplug something. Am I missing something here? I am assuming that the factory put it together and then screwed it in, meaning there should be at  last a foot of extra length in the wires? 

The solution for yesterday was to put it back together and save it for another day

Here is a just published brief Newell history.

Hi all,

I've done a bunch of rewiring on my coach and would like to label some of the new switches that I've installed.  My coach has a couple of placards that were of the engraved plastic type.

Like the one that says REAR HEATER in this photo:

   

I've seen a few places on line but can't find a place that will make them this small.  They need to be about 3/8 x 1.5 inches.

Can anyone direct me to where I can get these?  I'd like about 20 of them.

Thanks!!!

Gang,

A while ago I noticed that if I turn my 120V air compressor off, the front two slide seals will leak down and be flat by the next morning.  The two rear seals stay inflated.

I thought the 12V compressor would work the air door, the toilet, and the slide seals.

Upon discussions with Newell...They said that the seals only work off of the 120V and that what I am seeing is normal.  The 12V compressor only provides air to doors and toilet.

Could this be right????!!!   If this is correct, everything that I thought I knew about our air systems is wrong!

So what I am gathering is that the engine air and the 120V can feed the tank that supplies the door and toilet.  But the 12V does not provide air to the tank that feeds the slide seals.

Please set me straight!

Cheers,
bill

ps.  the reason that the real seals stay inflated is that they don't have any leaks...but apparently there are small leaks in the front two seals.

Hello everyone,
First let me introduce myself. My name is Holly. Andy and I just took our first trip in our 1983 Newell and we absolutely LOVE our bus. We spent a year remodeling inside and solving many other challenges involved with buying a vintage bus. We of course have more on our to-do list after our trip, but we are so happy with our decision.

Now to my message about food preparation techniques. Andy and I spent a few years cruising the South Pacific on our sail boat, then living off the grid during the winter in a home we bought in the Australian outback. The longest crossing we had was 3 1/2 months with two provision stops, so you can imagine the meal planning challenges. To keep from over stocking food items that would not be used, here is what I did. Our 1983 Newell has lots more storage than the boat and it is much easier to stop for groceries, but I found by modifying this a bit, it worked well for the bus.

1. I developed a list of all the recipes I planned to use and made a 3 x 5 card for each recipe.
2. I made a grocery list for all the ingredients.
3. When I had all the ingredients, I spent a day measuring the spices and putting them in a snack size baggy (combining those ingredients added to the recipe at the same time). I then wrapped/labeled the meat and other things like chopped onions and peppers, that can be frozen.
4. I then put all the dry ingredients with cans, noddles, etc. into a cheap gallon size bag, put the recipe inside so I could see it without opening the bag. I used a numbering system - meal #! - on the ingredients so I could match the freezer ingredients to the bagged ingredients.
5. On cooking day, I gathered the ingredients for recipe #1 cooked per recipe.

Optional: On the boat, I would use things like freeze-dried milk and eggs and bagged them in small baggies with instructions e.g., 1/4 C Taco seasoning and 1 1/4 C cup water. On the boat I also used a lot of canned meat like tuna, chicken and beef for easy casserole recipes.

You may not want to go to this level of organization, but I found it works great for me. I less often find myself wondering what I should cook and whether I have all the ingredients. I no longer have to ask Andy to stop at the store and have him look at me like - again?, or how far out of our way is it? or I really don't want to take time to stop - or does the store parking lot have room to maneuver the bus in? He's a great guy and these are challenges we both face so if I can minimize hassles it makes me happy too.

I also bought some recipe books like Four Ingredients or Less or Pantry Cooking as these seemed to lend themselves to this method, but I use many of my tried and true recipes as well.

It is no nice having this web site - I'm a big fan.
Would love to hear any other methods you use in your Newell that makes meal prep easier.
Cheers, Holly
