Happy birthday to to one of the nicest guys I know... Happy. Birthday to 1517.....

Dropping off the Coach next month at the Newell factory for service and maintenance, after they finish the wife and I are going to spend a few days in Branson-Table Rock Lake area mainly to play golf and enjoy the sites. Any suggestions on Newell friendly RV parks and maybe a golf course or two?

Thanks,

I didn't get a good look, we passed each other on a hilltop, pretty sure it was a newer Newell, brown, towing a pick up with a razor in the bed.
This past Sunday, mid day.
Anyone here?

I just joined just today and have a 1987 38FT Newell which has been sitting in storage for some time. Plugged into shore power and run occasionaly. I just don't use it enough anymore. I tried to bring it home for a wash and got about 3 miles and it quit. I pulled over and removed the primary fuel filter and noticed the fuel was down about 3 inches, I installed a new spare, full of fuel, then removed the secondary filter, it was full, I replaced it with a new filter and filled with fuel. The coach started imediately and off I went happy. About 3 miles again it quit. Again I removed the primary filter and it was the fuel was down 3 inches, another new filter, full of fuel was installed. The secondary filter was full of fuel but I replaced in with another filter and filled it with fuel. I made it home and it is now parked. There is plenty of fuel treated with Startron on board. The water seperators do not look like they have water but the glass is clouded and I could not really tell much. I looked in the top of both fuel tanks and thought I saw some floating material. I think I am having a fuel starvation problem as the primary filter is always low when I pull it, the air might interupt the fuel flow or cause the engine driven pump to cavitate. I am thinking I will have to have it towed to the nearest capable repair facility 30 miles away and have it defueled and the system back flushed, maybe somehow cleaning the tanks. I am looking for some experienced advice and recomendations of how to proceed. I live in a restricted residential area, it is sitting in a field accross from my house and is not welcome.
Thanks for replies.

Hey guys

I have an 84 as many of you know. Being one of the Guru's in the middle of a career with kids at home we are just now taking it out for the first time this summer. Yes you read that correctly. You retired guys kill me!  

Anyways I am looking for tire pressure recommendations from you all. I don't have a tag on this coach and the tires are Goodyear 11R24.5. I think they are aired a little too much based on my memory, but i had it in getting a tire with a bad valve fixed and the guys aired them all up. The front are at about 122 and the 4 in the rear are all about 100. A couple of years ago Clarke and I had them at 105 in the front and 90 in the back because he also thought they road a little stiff. I was going to set them back to this but before I did I thought I would see what recommendations you all might have for me. We will be driving 2,000 miles I imagine from our place to Yellowstone and back. 

Don't ask me the weight of the coach. I can't recall what it was the last time I weighed it. Seems to me ideas packed and probably 2,000 lbs short of the maximum possibly. 

Thanks for your help!

If this works I have attached a pic of the tag from the coach showing max weight and recommended air. 

My pure and waste water tank indicators would not go below 40% even when empty, after flushing the waste tank and completely emptying the pure tank they now both show both 100% full.  The indication is the same at the gage at the wet bay and in the galley.  Is there a computer in this system that can be re-booted?

New, Quad Slide, Bath and a half, hardwood and limestone floors.

My wife has fallen in love with the 45' Newells with at least one slide out... 
We are in a 1990 Bluebird Wanderlodge WB40 and are looking for something larger.  We live full-time in our Bird and love the community of fellow Birders.  Newell is our next choice although I don't like fiberglass (had 3 other Foretravels...) 
We will probably be in the 1998 to 2002 price range...  We want something we can put a Murphy bed in the rear and can use the bedroom during the day for an office...

As many of you are aware I was towed to Newell 2 weeks ago with a broken driveline, and the coach wouldn't go. Well over the weekend I lost a shroud on number 3 roof air. It will not work without the shroud. Trips breaker. Returned to Newell Monday they were nice enough to paint and replace shroud. Since I was there I had them check brakes. Steers , 50%. Tag, 50%. Drive, needs replacing..

Also bought a spare 315 to have in stacker to go along with my 365's.. (Thanks Bill)..

Well passenger side rotor on passenger side was cracked , so replaced rotor too.. 

As I was leaving Newell going under the low bridge. We had just had a monsoon rain went through 2 feet of water.. Check engine light was on..  Back to Newell everything just got wet.. Finally made it home this afternoon

This morning darlene and i got a call from Phyllis Arntzen to tell us that Wally died on monday while back east on a construction job.  Wally and Phyllis have been dear friends of ours for many years and have been in our home and we have traveled with them in our Newells.  He beat prostrate cancer a few years ago and was truely a survivor in many ways.  Many of you old time gurus knew Wally.  

Wally was 76.  He fulltimed in his 1988 40' Newell for many years before settling back down in his home state of minnesota.  He was the 8th member of the Gurus forum and was not one to post much, but he knew Newells inside and out.  He loved his coach, but more than anything he loved his family and people.  Wally was an army vet and one of the biggest hearted people i have ever known.  

He started a charity in 1971 called HEART, and his story is here on their web page   http://www.heartinc.org/how-it-began/

I know there are services next week, but do not know the details.  

I will send Phyllis a link to this for her to see any comments you all make and if you would like to contact her directly please send an email through the forum by looking up Wally through his user name 

Wally Arntzen

or click on this link to take you to where you can send an email

and send an email through the forum and Phyllis will get them.  

Phyllis, there is an empty spot in my heart with Wally gone.  

Our prayers are with you.  

Tom and Darlene
