701 has a side mount genset with a radiator that lays flat in an adjoining compartment. On top of the radiator sits a squirrel cage with an electric motor to turn it. Today the electric motor became extremely hot and quit rotating as fast and eventually quit all together. I replaced the motor my self in July of 2014. It quit in the spring of this year and Newell replaced it with another one. Does anyone have any ideas why I would go through 3 in just over a year?

We just got back to our home in Virginia after picking up 236 from Bill in Oklahoma. We picked her up last Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed our leisurely 9 days on the road with her. Thank you Tom for all the upgrades you made while you owned her. Thank you Bill for staying close to your phone for the many question we have had so far. I want to also pre-emptively thank you for staying close to your phone for all the questions forthcoming. It was truly a pleasure to meet you and we thank you and are very happy with the purchase!

We look forward to seeing all you Newell Gurus on the road! We can only hope to one day obtain Guru status.

Gang,

Ever since I saw a new Newell with under coach lighting, I have wanted to do that to my coach.  I have not looked under the new coaches, so I don't know if they are strips or individual fixtures mounted around the coach.

The effect is amazing.  (Yes, I asked the factory and they said it would cost $8k!!!!!) 

Has anyone done this?  

Cheers,
bill

We are in a cooler area for the next month or two with the night temps going into the freezing numbers. Under the main fuse panel  at the front of the coach is a metal grate. My question is there is a huge amount of cold air coming up threw that grate. Is there something missing or can I put insulation over that area to cut back on the draft? Mike 95 newell #372

Our coach has: Bridgestone R293 11R24.5 on the drive / tag wheels (dated 2004!) 
I am in a mad search for good tires!  Please help! 
I called a few places around Davenport and found a GoodYear Truck place selling Dunlop and GoodYear.
- GOODYEAR - fuel max LHS $545 each H Rating
- DUNLOP SP348 - $356 All Position tire H Rating (Owned by GoodYear now) 
Anyone used one of these?
What tire would you highly recommend?  

Almost completely redone interior.  Mid-bath.

Went to fuel up the coach to find a problem with the Air Ride. There is an Air Leak under the left (driver's or street) side rear. I'm thinking that the problem could be with the Ride Height Valve since all was well when parked and I lower the coach when at storage. I'll be headed back in a couple days to troubleshoot with Patti's help.
I am thinking that I will lift and block the right side so that I can get under the coach. This should leave the problem side where it is when having the air leak. When in Ride Position the Air Leak is prevalent and bleeds that side down, I can send air to that area by going into Level Mode until it bleeds off any air available. I'll need Patti's help to turn the power on to recreate the leak. Also better to have someone there while I go under the coach at least while troubleshooting.
Could use some advice if anyone knows what Ride Height Valve & or Air Bag was used in the early 80's.
thanks in advance.

Many of the 90s coaches have the old JetpaQ 110V water pumps(see picture).  This water pump has a pressure diaphragm similar to a pressure tank in a well system.  The pressure diaphragm is located within the stainless steel end.  The manual calls for checking the pressure within the pressure diaphragm every 6 months.

Since I have never checked mine I thought I would.  The pump is charged at the factory to 30psi.  This would give the pump a discharge rate of 43 psi.  A drop in pressure in the pressure diaphragm will drop your discharge pressure--for example dropping to 26psi, the discharge rate drops to 36 psi.  There is a normal tire type schrader valve on the stainless end of the pump.  Prior to checking the pressure shut off the pump and release all pressure by opening a faucet. I checked mine with a tire gauge and it was only 21.5 psi.  I increased it to 30 psi.  Remember this is a small pressure diaphragm so you will just need to put in a small amount of air.

Are there (or SHOULD) air filters on the A/C system for the basement airs?  I would think there would be a really dirty return air somewhere in the coach...
