When I woke up this morning and turned on the engine I am getting a Stop Engine, Low Coolant and Check Engine light (I stopped the engine).   What is the BEST way to check the coolant level in this beast please?   

I will call after-hours support or wait for morning crews to arrive at Newell offices. 

We are in the parking lot of SpeedCo near Tuscaloosa, AL (south of Birminham).  I had them change the oil in the engine and genset and they checked some other things in the PM they performed (they found 5 air tank purge valves!).

BTW, I was able (finally) to locate the 12-volt air pump that runs the air for the bathroom and I believe the slides as well - it seems to just run and does nothing... I will address that issue later as the 110-volt and engine air seem to be working fine.

Hi, I purchased coach 262 in Feb of this year.Its a 1991 45 ft model 2000. The rear leveling six pack wiring is unplugged and I have no idea what color wire goes to which solonoid. I jumped battery power to the travel solonoids to bring the rig home. The color of the wires in the harness are 2 orange,1 red and white,1 black and white,1 blue and white. Any advice would be a big help ...Thanks.. Tom Mahoney

Getting to know the coach over the past few week has been interesting. I am stumped with a couple items. 
There is an auxiliary air compressor on the left (drivers side) basement bay. It operates okay but I don't know what it's function is. 
Secondly I am able to manually pull the generator compartment out but it looks like there is an air activated cylinder to power it out but I have no idea were the switch would be. 
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Does anybody know anything about the 20 KW Martin Generator that Newell has installed in several of their coaches?  This is a new name to me and have not heard of them before.

Thanks for any feedback or information.

hi gurus,

today i went out to the newell to put some things in the rear bathroom closet and the airdoor was shut and wouldnt open.  i had been having a number of friends go in the coach to look around and one of them switched on the airdoor bathroom door lock switch that is in the bath that prevents people from opening the door from the bedroom side.  

other than let all the air out of the air system (which is what i did) to allow me to manually open the door, is there a safety valve somewhere that allows you to open that door when the switch is on?

One of my customers has some rebuilt 903's sitting on the self that they may want to sell.  If any Classic owners had an interest drop me a note.  Could be a less expensive alternative to swap to a newer model engine.

Hello everyone, my name is Rick and I bought coach #405 last fall, anyway my Detroit Diesel monitor on my dash is inoperative and I'm wondering how it works and what it would take to get it working again.

Thanks in advance, Rick

Does anyone know any history on the coach below? It only has one toilet mid ship with the sink and shower in the rear, interesting, also looks like now bed in front for company. Would it cost much to replace the two Chairs with a sofa bed?  I am new in the RV world but going to get started...
Thanks Dan

i installed the 2 vacuum pumps on the slide seals today.  took about an hour to do both of them.  the reason i put them on was to help the slide seal deflate and suck down so that there is less chance of the slide seal catching and rolling out of its mounting groove. this gives you a little extra clearance between the slide and the seal as you put the slide in and out.

i bought the dorman vacuum pumps that are used on superduty ford diesel trucks.  in fact i have a f350 that uses the same pump.  paid like 40 apiece so so for them.  

the regulator for the bedroom drivers side slide is in the small compartment on the passenger side in front of the engine bay.   the regulator for the front drivers side salon slide is in the 3rd compartment behind the front wheel on the driver side in the compartment where i have one of my basement air cons.  

the 2 pins that are inside the receptacle on the vacuum pumps are round.  so i used flat insulated spade connectors and pinched them with pliers to make them a snug fit on the round pins.  i crimped wires in the spade connectors that were attached to some used weatherpack 2 pin plugs i had laying around.  

the empty port on the solenoid is where the slide seal air escapes (exhaust port), so that is where i connected the hose that goes to the vacuum pump.  i used 7/64's vacuum hose and a 1/4" DOT compression brake line fitting and took the ferrell out and squeezed the compression nut over the vacuum hose and then pushed the hose on the sleeve that is in the fitting, then slid the nut down and tightened it.  not the way they are supposed to be used, but it worked and was snug.  i saw on richards that they used DOT stiff brake hose and then glued it to the vacuum pump, but i did it with vacuum hose and it was more flexible.  

since the motor is DC you have to make sure you have the polarity right on the vacuum pump.  i used the blue inline splice connectors to put the weatherpack plug on.    i taped the wires up to the pump to make sure they didnt vibrate off.

the solenoid must have multiple ports inside as it keeps constant pressure in the slide seal when not energized.  when you turn the key on the slide controller to release the air from the seal, it shuts off the air supply in the valve and exhausts the air from the seal out the exhaust port, which is now hooked up to the vacuum pump.  since i spliced the vacuum pump onto the wires for the solenoid, when the key is turned on, the valve opens and the vacuum pump starts up sucking the air out of the slide seals.  the pump has a pressure switch in it that turns it off when it reaches a certain level of vacuum.  that took about 60 seconds after the light on the hwh slide control panel went off. 

i mounted the pumps where they were out of the way and zip tied the wires up.  

it works great.

Are there enough Newell owners out there in the Michigan/Indiana/Ohio/Illinois/Wisconsin and surrounding areas to put together a Newell gathering/rally?  I'd be happy to take the reigns and make it happen if there's enough interest.
