$15,999

Gang,

I am on the road headed back home.  I stopped to visit friend and left generator and ACs running.  When I came back to coach, I smelled a strong electrical smell and found that all my AC's are dead.  No Power.

Here are the facts:

1)  No display on any of my three thermostats.  (I have never seen this before).  
2)  No breakers are tripped.  I reset all the pertinent breakers (rear closet) with no joy.
3)  Even my rooftop AC is dead.  (That one is powered separately and does not trigger off of the HEAT / AC relay)
4)  Possible red herring....I just left the factory where they ran a new wire to my front AC.  They said it was a dead short in the wire and they ran a new wire to the front AC.  (Did not find the source of the short).
5)  Electrical smell is strongest in the rear basement AC bay.
6) Meters over dash show 120V with no amp draw. (I turned off generator and voltages dropped to 0V as expected)

I have call into 24 hour hotline, but not response yet.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

My level auto and manual quit. Newell said they could no do anything because the HWH knowledge left. Went to HWH in Moscow iowa, they where good on the  electronic end but not to much on the mechanical. They worked on it 6 hours and gave up and pulled the brain and sent it to lab. Next morning was sitting by my coach at 700 am. Put the brain back in and worked great. Was really worried about the bill. Got it that afternoon 192 dollars.

A Guru buddy told me about some wiring chafing he had.  After a day of polishing my chrome brake chambers, I decided to look for any wire problems.  I found no chafing but I did find an area of concern.  The plastic wire loom from the alternator to the stainless steel compartment on the right side of the engine compartment had a 6" area that the plastic wire loom had crystallized from the heat of the exhaust manifold.  The wires were exposed, but luckily undamaged.  I wrapped the area with heat shield and routed the wires as far from the exhaust manifold as possible.  This is something for the diyers to check.

Thanks Russ for the heads up.................................

Listing for a 1991 Newell on Ebay.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Newell-Coach-Mod...1707785328

VIN listed is correct for #271 but the coach is listed as Coach 270 with a length of 44' (Coach 271 is 40'0" and 270 is 41'3") although the text later says 42'3".  Interior layout seems to match the floorplan for 270.  The listing says it is a 1990 (although the text later says 1991).  Both 270 and 271 are 1991 models (tenth digit of VIN is an M, a 1990 would be an L).  The first 1991 model was #247. See http://buynewellrv.com/ for additional information and photos.

I get promotional emails from lots of different sources, and this one came in today at felt that I should share. It's a today only offer for two solar bug zappers for $22, but I wasn't even aware that such an item existed.

Hi all,


we had a great time in Tahoe this summer.  The group was small but the fun and fellowship was immense.  

Last year i didnt start the rally planning soon enough for a variety of personal reasons, none of which are a good excuse.  

My thoughts for 2016 is to be centrally located in the USA.  

Criteria are as follows.  

1.  An RV park capable of handling 20 or more coaches that are humongo like ours.  all with 50a full hookups
     
you all know what type of rv parks that you like to stay at, so use that as a guide.  


2.  a park where we can be grouped together


3.  a location with moderate weather.  i live in the desert of arizona.  and what is hot to me is not the same as what is hot to some of you.  anything under 100 is springtime here....so i assume we want a place that is in the low 80's or less and hopefully not uber rainy.  


4.  time is when it is not crowded.  i have tried to have them when those gurus with families in school can attend in the past but most gurus are empty nesters so that is not an absolute for timing.  


5.  the park needs to have a place we can all gather in for potlucks or seminars.  


the goal would be to have it decided by late fall.  


ok....the suggestion box is open


oh, and i am the final decision maker.
