Finally got a test run behind the coach.. It pulls like a dream...

OK folks, here is a brand new 2017 p50 Show Coach by Newell with bunk beds for 2, full rear bath and a mid bath with a 2nd shower opposite the bunks. Attractive and unusual coach. Has a couch with a hide a bed and an opposing couch with a jackknife bed. Front entry, 600 HP Cummins ISX with 1950 lb-ft torque and Allison 6 speed transmission. Marble flooring throughout with exception of carpeted bedroom.

Any opinions or benefits of one or the other? I have 2013 Chevy Avalanche and price for both installed is almost the same. Reading the installation instructions it is hard to tell which if either will have to cut on my bumper. The shop I am considering 4 State Trailers in Fairland, OK. They recently did a couple of Newells pulling Jeeps with Roadmaster and have not installed Blue Ox but will.
Thanks Mike

I have antifreeze leaking in front left side in front of driver. What's up there. the heater for winter? If I take the dash off can I do a temp. fix by just closing off the line after removing it from the core box? I've not opened it up yet. I just assumed I could get to it from the inside.

A number of you have asked about our plans regarding the incoming storm. As of right now, we are planning on riding it out. If the forecast is true or close to accurate we shouldn't get more than rain and 40mph wind. 

This decision may or may not be a good one in hindsight. Only time will tell. 

The coach is in the drive, ready to power the house if needed. Diesel tank is full. The fridge and pantry are well stocked. We have a well so water shouldn't be a problem. 

Forrest and Cindy are marooned here with us, so it's good to have experienced hurricane folks to hold our hands.

Thanks to all of you who have expressed concern, I will post as this situation progresses.

Seems that certain Newells show up for sale by different sellers. Private, then one retailer after another. Flippers.

I am replacing the Firestone W01-358-8087 air bags for the Dana Kirkstall IFS 84 suspension. As many of you know these are special order and the delivery time is six to eight weeks, plus the price is double what it should be. 

I have asked the vendor how many would need to be ordered to get a price break. 

My question to the forum is how many of you would want two? And are you willing to pay up front? 

Gang,

Has anyone gone though and figured out how the ammeters above the dash work?  One of mine works (kinda) and one is dead.

I am assuming that there is a sensor (either a shunt or a Hall effect sensor) near the transfer switch.  I am not sure where to even start.

Has anyone replaced their meters with digital?  or even found a replacement source for the analog meter if that turns out to be whats wrong.

Thanks,
bill

Gang,

I have a Windgard SK-3005 antenna and regular Directv receivers.  Last year,  I noticed that I was not receiving some stations.   I did some research and found out that Directv had moved some programming to the 109 satellite (which is not tracked by the SK-3005).  Winegard said that I needed the new SWM-3 antenna ($$$$).  Further research indicated that there is a device called a Swm Switch that will convert the signals in a way that allows you to get the other stations.  I will let you know if it works.

In the meantime, I wanna upgrade my Directv receivers to Genie type with the DVR functions.  I am getting the total run-around.  Newell says to talk to Directv.  Directv says to talk to Winegard since it is in an RV.  (They did offer to send one of their "technicians" to my RV to install but earliest date was two weeks from now).

So...Have any of you guys upgraded your directv receivers?  How did you do it?  I could not find the base unit on amazon.

Cheers,
bill

Is it hard to find campgrounds that will accept a 45 ft. Motorhome? What length RVs are acceptable in most campgrounds?  I'm looking at Newels, but I'm not sure how often I'll run into a problem finding a campground that accepts the length. Do most national and state parks accept the long RVs?
