Monday had the generator radiator cooling fan motor replaced at Newell. It was previously replaced by them in May. All covered by their one year parts and labor warranty from Newell.

On Tuesday when I started the generator, the indicator light that tells you the generator is running failed to light up even though the generator was running. Also the 4 lights that indicate power is going to all 4 legs also failed to light up. And the amp meters all showed zero.

I reset all the breakers on the generator. And in the back of the coach.

Another thing is the 110 fan the provides air to the generator compartment was running but the 220 radiator cooling fan that was just replaced was not.
I restarted the generator several times same result. I let it sit for an hour went back out restarted it and everything worked fine.  Called Newell they suspected a bad breaker.

Returned to Newell this morning they replaced the breakers. This afternoon same thing happened except when I restarted the generator everything returned Except a 110 leg. Followed shortly by the other three legs quitting..  Restarted again and all legs have ran great for the last 7 hours.. No issues..

Does anyone have any ideas?

Due to death of owner need to sell this coach. Original owner was Johnny Rutherford. Asking $35,000. Has less than 170,000 miles. Runs great.

Please contact at 816-510-1825 if interested

For those traveling through the Buckeye, We have one spot with power and one or two spots for dry camping available.  PM me to make sure there is room.

I am looking for power sunshades for the windshield area. MCD is the only company I have found. I'm interested in what is installed in other coaches and whether you are satisfied with it.?

can there be damage done to a jake brake by applying it for long periods of time?  The reason I ask we took a day trip today with our jeep from where our campground is just north of the state of Washington on the Canadian side. One portion of the trip was a 12 mile 7 to 8% decline with three 10mph switchbacks in it. I myself have never taken our newell down that type of mountain. More than likely a slow 40 minute drop in a lower gear with jake applied steady. Help on that if I should so decide that trip.

Good Afternoon,

I would like to introduce myself, I'm Roy Dameron, I'm retired and currently have a 42 ft Nimbus 09 Foretravel. I'm about 100 miles east of Miami. I am very pleased with my Foretravel. This summer I got a chance to see in a 06 Newell. I was very impressed with the floor plan. We are now spending 6-7 months in our coach a year, and it works well. However, when you live in one you really learn what would be better.

My Foretravel has 3 slides ( my choice) but with our 80 lb Golden retriever and the little dog another slide would be nice. A half bath, stacked washer/ dryer, rear bath and a little larger kitchen counter are all things that would improve our motor homing experience. Naturally, the Newell had all these things. I have seen at least one former Foretravel owner on this forum; so I am interested in how the two compare. Does the Newell drive/ride better than my FT which has HWH Active Air? What do you former FT owners like about the Newells?
The newer IH 45 Foretravels have all these things, but I find the Newells floor plans more pleasing to my eyes. Also any thoughts on how the Newells drive/ride compared to the Prevost?

I appreciate any comments you have

Roy

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?
