I recently did the coolant change out. To the best of my efforts, the system held right around 15 gallons of coolant. I originally said 14, but when I ran the coach for twenty miles on the road to open the thermostats, it held another gallon in the coolant surge tank.

Other posts on the forum indicate that the two strokes hold much more.

We have been looking at Ekornes recliners (and love them) but do not like having a separate ottoman to deal with.  Does anyone know what Newell uses in the newer coaches that has a built in footrest (brand/model)?  Is it as comfortable as an Ekornes?  The difference between the Ekornes and the chairs we have is that the Ekornes moves with you (both bottom and top sections) as you recline (the stress less) instead of 'breaking over' and just the back part moving.  See picture for the one in a newer Newell...

Noticed when I got out of my car that I had a lot of water under my Aqua-Hot bay.  First thought was just needed to tighten up a connection of one of the water lines coming off the Aqua-Hot.  Nope, drip pan was dry and no water anywhere to be seen.  Looked back under the coach and noticed the water was coming from the Aqua-Hot exhaust area.  Checked to see if it was water or antifreeze and sure enough it was just water.  My coolant reservoir level was unchanged so that verified too that it was water dripping.  That part of my Aqua-Hot is all riveted shut so I am not sure where in the boiler area it is leaking from.

I am still under warranty so I want to get it fixed right.  If Rudy is on line please chime in to what may be the problem and most probable solution.

Thank you,
Oscar

Hi Guys,

Noticed that my steering column is about 3 to 4 inch's off to the left from the center of the driver seat.
I mostly drive with my left hand so it's not a problem. Just would like to know if other 1999 Newell's are the same way.

Having a problem extending both slides. Every thing works but the slide will not go out. The seal deflates & the pump runs as always.

So heading from the coast of Maine to Elkhart IN. to Stuarts Services for repair.

Has anyone delt with this co.?

1984 coach. Diesel generator shuts down after 30  minutes of use repeatedly. No heat issue, all fuel tanks 1/2 full. Oil level is ok.

 Those of you who know Todd, this was his coach, and everything has been serviced.

Perhaps this other issue has something to do with the early shut down  Takes 5 to 10 tries on initial start up before it will keep running

I'm thinking some kind of fuel starvation?

I am in no particular rush to solve this. Is is to hot here to be working on the coach !

I was not able to place this in the proper place which should be Technical Discussions/ Generators. If anyone can move this,I would appreciate it

Thank you,

Guy

Gang,

My Girard G-2000 awning was out this afternoon when a pop-up thunderstorm came by.  A sudden gust of wind got the awning before the whirligig thing brought the awning in.  The awning bounced quite a bit and I noticed the joint of one arm was broken.  I brought the awning in and it came mostly in.  It probably is 3 inches from the normally closed position.  (When it came in, it made quite a racket).

So my questions are:

1)  Has anyone replaced an arm on these things?  
I did find a video from Girard that shows the steps (online video)
2)  The awning is 13 years old and has been used a lot.  Even though the fabric seems to be in good condition, would it be better to replace the whole thing?  
3)  Are there any alternatives to Girard electric awnings that should be considered?
4)  (Probably most important)  What keeps the awning from going out when driving? Should I be concerned about it coming undone while on the road?  (I know the zip dee awnings will fly out unless locked down...but am not sure if the Girard can go out without the motor running.
5)  I have looked at the Girard site for authorized repair vendors and the only ones close by look pretty shady.  (hehe...shady...get it???!)

I'm in Auburn Alabama right now and will probably have to drive to a repair facility.

Thanks!
bill

I have read a few threads about the Hydraulic Cooling Fan being loose.  How can I check for this on my Series 60 Engine please?  I need to take her in for valve adjustment, jake adjustment and retorque of head bolts and want to know what to tell the mechanic to check.  
Thanks in advance!

I saw a newer brown Newell heading west on highway 8 Friday afternoon around 4,  traveling with another coach.
Anyone on the board?

Michael and Georgia left this morning.  We had an incredible time with them and was sad to see them go.  

even though it was 110 to 120 degrees here in wittmann, we had their newell in the garage and it never got above 90 in there.  

who's next?
