Hi all,

as many of you noticed, the forum site was hard down for several hours today.  Our Hosting provider was having a DDOS attack at the datacenter that our server is at that shut down alot of sites that they host.  they recovered quickly and all is well again.

sorry for the downtime.

Hi,

I'm Henry and I live in Palm Coast, FL (near Daytona Beach). My job here in SoCal will be ending this month and I hope to get a new job In Melbourne, FL (1+45 hr commute). I've been a fan of Newells for many years, and I'm a recovering Bus Nut (owned a pro converted PD-4106). My plan is to buy a Classic and keep it in Melbourne and live on it during the week and use it for trips when able.

I'm 58, so will any luck I'll get to retire soon and enjoy travel in my yet to be acquired Newell.

Here are a few links to the type of Newell I'm looking for (can afford).

1984 Classic

1984


1978 Classic New Motor

I think you get the idea.

I'd like to take the Newell to the National Parks, I hear the the 38' can pass for a 35' (not sure if that's true).

I look forward to participating in the Forum and would welcome and help and advice from the gurus.

Thanks,

Henry

We left WI Thursday night in the snow, pulled in for an overnight at a truck stop in South Bend (more snow/sleet) and arrived at Greenbelt Park, MD yesterday.

We're planning on exploring the DC area with the kids until Wednesday morning, then heading up to Gettysburg for a few days before heading home.

I'm having an issue with my 8.3 Cummins, if I keep it under about 15-16 psi boost, it is fine, go over and it will drop down to almost nothing, then rise / fall.  Fine running down the road, but long hills kill me.  EGT is fine, no smoke, fuel drops when the boost falls.
I suspect a hole in the waste gate actuator, I'm planning to plug the line to test.

Anyone have another likely suspect?

Thanks

Scott

Hey Gang,

Been away from the site since my Sister passed and while renovating our "Ponderosa" down on the Mexico border in Rio Rico, Arizona.

Sorry to have not been available or return e-mails, but sure you all did great without me...

Hedy has been staying in the coach on our lot 21 at MotorCoach CC in Indio since November and I am slaving away in the Arizona desert (and loving every minute).


We have made a reservation for Ruidoso and look forward to seeing all of you. I will cancel though  if I find out that Tom is not bringing the "Root Beer Still" !!

We may be selling our coach after about 6 years of ownership and will look for everyone's opinions at the Rally.

We do have our lot 21 , complete with full size pool and spa and 700sf shade structure with indoor and outdoor kitchens FOR SALE now.....www.motorcoachcountryclub.com

I see I only missed 12 trillion new posts while away and it will take me until the Rally to catch up......

Last fall I started to have a problem where light on line 2 on the 240 side would flicker and eventually the other legs would flicker and generator would stop making power.  Replaced voltage regulator and all was good for last 6 months. On trip over the weekend line 2 again began to flicker. I also noticed volts on the meter were no longer at 120 but 110.. I shut generator down. Several minutes later restarted all was fine again..   Seems to happen after genny has been running awhile.. Any ideas? This happened several times over the weekend..
