2000, $179,774, 2 slide

http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Golden-G...-117285661

After searching for a few years, somewhat casually, it's time to get more serious about my first Newell. This wojld replace my 01 Monaco Exec.
I recently came across an '07 Newell, front entry, 45' with Valid flat floors. We spent a half-day running the slides in and out, running the genset and the CAT engine.
There were no apparent serious air leaks as the front run bay compressor may have cycled once every ten or 15 minutes with the engine off.
I've heard of window problems in Newell's of this vintage and some people mumble negatively about the CAT engine.
This coach has a little over 56k miles, bath-and-a-half but six year old tires which I'd replace (or have replaced). The AquaHot fired right up after sitting (according to the sales guy) for several weeks. No smoke from the AH and or the two other engines.
I would love to hear comments from the Newell crowd on what to look for "behind the curtains."
Thanks!

Since you Newell Gurus are not coming to visit me, Darlene and I are going to the Bird folks for company.  

here is Pete and Sue's 96 and Dan and Cindy's 06 Wanderlodges at the McCloud's.

We went to go visit another bird owner in Morristown and had a great time there.  

these 2 birds are BEAUTIFUL.

Could someone help. On a lf 210 Microphor water closet could someone take the lid off their tank and tell me if the green air line or blue air line is closest to the outside of the tank, on the flush lever. Thanks in advance.Should have taken a pic before I removed it to service it,now I am questioning myself.

A few months ago the Suburban propane heater in the salon of my 1982 Newell began to fail.....the burner would light, but not stay lit which meant it was either a bad flame sensor, or a bad control board.  In my heart of hearts I was pretty sure it was the control board, but hoped it was just the ignitor/flame sensor module, which is pretty easy to replace.  Since I had pulled out the old one to take a look at it and it looked just like you would expect a 34 year old one would look, I decided to replace it whether, or not it was bad hoping that it would fix the problem.  Well, of course, that was not the case, so I ordered a replacement control board from Dinosaur (UIB-L) Board.  I did not buy it from Dinosaur, but off eBay (click link for the eBay page for this item) for $78.50 shipped.  I think Dinosaur's price is close to, or over $100.  Below a picture of the new board, the old board, and the viewing glass.....she stays lit!

               

I only use my gas heaters when dry camping/boondocking, and it wasn't that cold when we were out in the desert for 5 weeks, so I didn't rush to fix it, and I believed it would be a multi hour project trying to get that heater out.  As it turned out it was not that difficult.  Only two screws hold the heater in its box.....one inside and one outside where the vent is.  All you do is remove those two screws, disconnect the gas line and slide the heater out.....easy peezy!  I'm so glad I have the owners manuals for those heaters!

Under the lid on my microphor Model LF 210 air flush toilet there is a unit that the water supply and six or seven air lines feed to the unit. My question is there is one black line coming off of it that is about 4 inchs long that is a deadend line with a brass fitting and a set screw in it. There seems to be a pin hole in that set screw releasing air that will drain my main supply tank in about two hours. Is that normal or does anyone have a up to date phone number for microphor?

hello ,

I 'm looking at a 01 today and wanted to know besides appearance what should I be looking at , thank you in advance for your insight .

My name is Victor Sandonato.
We have been checking on the site and exploring the possibility of purchasing a used Newell.
We have been looking at Wanderlodges and Prevost for about 3 months and we are getting serious.
We like the 1 1/2 bath models and would like to stay under 200,000 because we do not want to finance. 
Newell has been on the top of our list. It is our first choice.
We recently visited the Foretravel factory on a trip to the Keys and found them interesting also.
So, this is why I have signed up and hope to become part of the owners club in the future!

On my trailers we are opening the rear door upward 90 degrees. Hinged at the top. Considering hydraulic Pistons or electric screw jacks.. Also am considering a torsion spring to assist.. Opinions from those smarter than me

In the BlueBird group it was a big thing to have a cool name for your bird (our's was 'Mauvelous' since she was dipped in Pepto).  Do Newell owners do that?  I thought about having stickers made for the rear with our names and maybe the coach name at the top near the camera... I have no idea what to call her, maybe 'Banana Royale' or 'Mellow Yellow' or 'Creme Pi' ...
