                                        ***** Square D Heater Recall*****
Ours were the Square D model TW1222 Series B Electric Heaters. The problem with at least the Square D is that they used a Rubber Grommet as Fan Bushings, Rubber....right on a Heater Fan! Anyway take a look at your Electric Heaters as a precaution, especially if we have older coaches.
I replaced them with Cadet model RMC151W although it is a little larger in size, better than smaller. Shop around prices are all over the place!
The new Thermostat I used are Cadet #T410A in Almond and I bought one through Home Depot.

                                           *****Be Aware Fire Hazard*****

In the "whatever it is worth section", I damaged my muffler somewhere this summer by backing into something that mashed it badly resulting in a few leaks.  I called Newell for a new one and was told the price was either $800 or $900, plus shipping.  Fortunately they did not have one or I would have purchased it.  Upon returning to Mexico, I had it rebuilt by a welding shop for the grand sum of $50.  Made my day.

According to RV Business, Winnebago plans to move production of select diesel products to the 200,000 square foot production facility that formerly housed Country Coach in Junction City. OR.  According to Scott Folkers, Vice President and General Counsel for Winnebago, "We anticipate using this property to provide ongoing customer service to Country Coach owners as well as providing service to Winnebago owners."

Ron Lee, the former owner of the facilities had been trying to keep Country Coach alive.

Hello Gurus,

We have solidified the June 2016 Rally to be at the Ruidoso Motor Coach Ranch in Ruidoso New Mexico.  

The official dates are Monday June 6th to Friday the 10th.  Darlene and I will be arriving the weekend before and leaving the Monday after.  

Now that the place and dates are confirmed, we will be forming the Rally Committee.  As usual, we will not charge anything for the Rally and you will be responsible for your own expenses.  We will have potlucks, technical seminars and just plain ol fun like we always do.  It will be simple and casual with the emphasis on having fun with each other. 

The RV resort is new and has been vetted by one of our Gurus.  They are anxious to have us and a note from Lisa, one of the owners is below as an introduction.  

Feel free to call and make reservations.  They have 29 sites available to us (the entire park)

Darlene and I look forward to meeting all of you.  Please let us know if you plan on attending.  

Tom and Darlene McCloud

We are so very pleased that the Newell Gurus have chosen us for your rally this summer!


Our nightly rates are $85 and weekly rates are $575, as we discussed we will extend a 15% discount to your group for the week of your rally.  Of course anyone is welcome to come early and stay longer!  We are very proud of our brand new facility.  


Each of our beautifully landscaped sites have breathtaking views of Sierra Blanca and Capitan Mountains. Each private site has its own patio, rocking chairs, and gas fire-pit.  Our beautiful clubhouse offers full entertaining space with its covered party pavilion, complete with fireplace, wood fire-pit, gas fire-pit and outdoor kitchen, television, and outdoor speakers.  


We have gone the extra mile to insure that our ranch is state of the art with regards to satellite and wi-fi reception.  Our entire facility is located behind a security gate and is monitored 24 hours by surveillance cameras that are located inside the clubhouse and on the property.  The clubhouse also offers beautiful, clean, private men and women facilities as well as a bright, modern laundry area.  


All guests will have full access to Rainmakers for golfing, fitness spa, and dining.   Our guests who are towing trailers for toys, etc. will have plenty of space in our annex parking area.  For those who are interested in ATV trails there are many national forest areas conveniently located nearby.  Please check out photos of our ranch on our website-

Winnebago has purchased Country Coach!

As we enter this holiday season here at Country Coach, we also enter a season of change. As most of you know, I have spent most of my adult life growing, nurturing and eventually rescuing the Country Coach brand that I love. I am very proud of what Country Coach came to represent, but I am even more proud of work the core group I assembled after purchasing the intellectual property of Country Coach has accomplished. From the start my goals were to resurrect Country Coach in the spirit in which it was created - to produce the finest motor coaches available, to bring economic vitality and growth to Junction City and to develop stable jobs for our employees.

        As you know, we have continued to work on the next generation of Country Coach product in the design and prototype stage and to transfer that work to reality of a product, actual production requires much more. To do that I needed to find the right resources to augment and grow what we have started. To that end, I have been working diligently for the past two years. Of the options I had to choose from I have made what I consider the very best choice for Country Coach for both service and production. I am pleased to announce that, effective today, I have sold the Country Coach Campus and intellectual property to Winnebago Industries. I have worked with Winnebago to ensure that Country Coach moves forward and work will begin in earnest to assemble the infrastructure that will lead to Country Coach production. Winnebago will also bring production of some of its current diesel motorhome offerings to Junction City. Please note that future Country Coach products will not be rebranded Winnebagos, but products specifically designed and built to the exacting performance, amenity and standard levels that have always defined Country Coach. Obviously this process will take time but everyone involved is committed to making Country Coach the premier motorcoach offering available.
        I made this decision because I believe that Winnebago is the best fit for Country Coach and that their, culture, dedication to design and build quality closely mirrors the standards I have set. This transition includes a change for me also as I will step down from the day to day operations. But rest assured, I intend to be the leading Country Coach brand enthusiast so you can expect to see and hear from Cookie and I from time to time as we travel around the country in our 2016 Country Coach Allure.
        As I write this, I am recalling designing the first Country Camper Class A, I used a lower front from a Winnebago Class A to mock it up, we have come full circle.

Until the next time we meet!!

Ron Lee
