Not that I needed any more inducement on my OCD tendencies relative to coach steering, BUT I just drove a rental 26 ft box truck for almost 3000 miles. I drove it empty and completely at it's max GVW, and the steering was relatively precise. No wandering, no slop, and no trouble to run side by side with other trucks. The truck was not new, it had 200K miles on it. 

Now the engine was a dog, and it rode awful, but the steering was sweet. I don't see semi drivers fidgeting with the wheel either. 

So, that makes me wonder. What is different about a motorhome or bus. I've had three, and none had the steering this truck had. 

Straight axle and leaf springs in the front, with a TRW steering box. 


If you have any insight will you share it with me.

Spotted 8/6/16 northbound on I 75 just north of Gainesville. One relatively new blue bottom and cream top (gorgeous coach) and one brown toned mid 2000's traveling in tandem. 

I was driving a yeller Penske truck so naturally they didn't flash their lights in recognition.

I have changed all the air bags on #390.Firestone# W01-358-9447.I have five that could be used as spares in case of failure on the road.New bags may or may not be available when you need them most.Let me know if you are interested.

We're located just west of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  We have water and electric hook ups on site and inside our shop.  If you are out and need a place to stop or a place to work on the unit while on the road let us know.  The only drawback is we live on a rock road one mile off Highway 30. If you go slow everything stays pretty clean.

We also do a little pheasant hunting and dove hunting if interested. 

Stay Safe,
Roy and Cari...

We are trying to have a brake job done on the tag axle of our 1997 Newell Coach. We have been able to locate all the part numbers for what we need except for the brake rotors. Does anyone have a record on what the Meritor part number is for the tag axle brake rotors? Thanks in advance for your help.

Anyone know where the transmission temp sender is on an ht740?
Thanks, Jim

Hello, Fellow Newell Gurus,

After much thought, my wife and I decided to put our Newell for sale. As some of you may know, I have spent a lot of energy on owning this Newell since I purchased it less than six short months ago. And believe me, this has not been an easy decision nonetheless one we have to make. Due to some unforeseen family circumstances, we simply wouldn't have the time to travel and enjoy it as we had originally planned.

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the assistance and words of wisdom you have offered.  Who knows, we may come back and own another one in the future.  Meanwhile, you can do me an other favor, that is to find a good home for it. In the last few days, I have put together this website that details the coach features with pictures.

I will be open to any suggestions you may have. BTW, I'm asking $359,000.

Best Regards to All!
