Would someone please enlighten me on what Newell Build Numbers (if that's what they are called) relate to those Classic units built during '84 thru '89? I'm actively researching for a coach built during that times and believe that knowing more about these numbers will help in the "Coaches for Sale" threads.

As I have stated before if anyone knows of a Newell of that vintage that is for sale please pass on my contact information or call me.

Thank you,

I'm new to the Newell world and just started my research on purchasing one in the 84 to 89 year range. One thing I find disconcerting is that so many coaches with under one hundred thousand miles have had rebuilds on engines that should last "forever."  I surmise that an engine in a coach that is ten to fifteen or twenty years old or older and has under one hundred thousand miles on it must have just not been used enough. These same engines are designed to go close to a million miles.
What's up with that? 

Saw what I would guess to be a early to mid 80s Newell coach dragging a tow car, Going east bound on I40 in Sallisaw Oklahoma around 12:30 today all original paint

I have a 1989 Newell and need to install a brake controller in the coach.
I have never pulled a trailer with this coach but will be doing so on my next trip.
 
This coach has a 7 post terminal (round male) at the rear of the coach but does not have power to this unit as near as I can tell.
I will need to change the rear terminal to the flat blade spade type.

My immediate problem is to locate the wiring which I presume will be under the dash.

Any input will be appreciated.

Just a question, does the engine cooling fan run all the time ?       The reason I ask is because I never paid it much attention until last weekend while on a trip, stopped at a rest area doing a walk around I noticed it was not running, I raised the rear cover and un plugged the relay and it came on (high speed) when I re connected it it quit. The water temp was @190 at the time. After setting there for a few minutes on high idle the fan came on (high) then when the temp went down it stopped.  Just wanting to know, it seems to me it should run all the time to cool the air to air cooler.   Thanks,  Ken    1998 coach 430

Gang,

I have often admired coaches that had super nice shades on the front and side windows.  I thought that they were typically a factory option which required snaps / hooks to be installed into the coach body.  Well, I ran across these and ordered them.  It took about 10 days to get them.

Magneshade.com

They are made for your specific year / model coach.  There is a limited selection of colors and even an option to include a graphic on the shade.

They work by attaching super duper magnets to the windows with 3M VHB disks and these magnets attach to magnets in the shade itself.

Putting the shade on is simply a matter of getting the magnets close to one another....click, click, click and its attached. Taking down is just as simple.  

I did not take measurements, but I really think that the coach is staying cooler with the shade on.  (I like to leave the roller shade up because the dogs like to see what is going on). 

Anyway, I thought I would share with you guys a product that is actually better than I hoped it would be.

Cheers,
bill
ps.  In the pics, the material looks like sunbrella fabric, but it is not. You can see through it from inside the coach. It is more like a mesh than a fabric and seems to be very durable.

I would like to get some recommendations from knowledgeable members for available "Newell Inspectors" who would meet me with a seller and go over my prospective purchase to tell me as much as possible that I just don't know about Newell's and motor coaches in general.
Does any one provide this service? Does Newell provide that service? Sort of a Home Inspector for Newell's. It's a service worth paying well for. And I would pay well for it. Also, if any one makes a suggestion and another member has a differing opinion of that person I would appreciate that information also. My budget for a purchase is in the under one hundred thousand dollar area so making a mistake on a vintage unit could be very costly for me. Thanks, Mike

So my wife and I are getting ready to buy a 1985 Newell.  It looks to be in great condition with the exception of needing a new front windshield and gasket.  Has new tires and batteries and appears to in great shape.  So my question is there anything to pay attention to or any issues with the 1985s?  What can one expect to pay for a good condition 1985, I have seen them all over the place for price.

Thank you in advance
