yesterday larry and hedy arrived. i put larry to work right away as we needed to unload my trailer that was backed up to the front door before he could park the coach.
then they got set up and we headed back to mesa as i had left darlene there earlier with no car keys. so a quick 130 mile round trip to get her the keys so we all went out to dinner and visited.
as usual they are warm and gracious and their newell spotless. (other than the dust from going down the 1/2 mile gravel road to my house. )

Gang,
I know that we have talked about this before, but I cannot find the link. My dash AC fan control seems as if it breaks every year. The control works fine except that the fan speed settings for low and medium stop working. Fan only works on High.
Replacing the entire control is the usual fix. (Newell keeps them in stock)
I was hoping someone could tell me what vehicle / year this control set is from.
Thanks!

Gang,
I noticed I was not getting a reading from my water pressure gauge. It is plumbed in right by my Headhunter pump.
Then, I noticed that there is a liquid (water?) inside the gauge.
Two questions: 1) Is this liquid normal for our application? and 2) can anyone provide a source for this gauge? I looked online and it seems as if lots of gauges are made with glycerin inside the gauge.
The pump is operating normally and I get water so it is probably a bad gauge...but wanted to learn something in the process of replacing.
Cheers,
bill
Well dropped off the stacker to the gentlemen who bought it. Fought a 30-40 mph headwind. Avg. 3 miles to the gallon last 350 miles of trip. Lol but found and bought another stacker. I'll get it in another 2 weeks. May actually keep this one. But now I have a huge dilemma . We leave denver tomorrow but I don't have anything to pull my wife's sl home with. The plan was to buy a cheap trailer and drive it back and sell,it. Well all good plans have an error. And mine is my wife found a sl65 amg. Beautiful car so if we buy it tomorrow we have to figure out how to get 2 cars home.. Anybody know any shippers or trailers for sale here?.
Saw a late model red and black westbound I-40 this morning around Santa Rosa, NM
I have an appointment with Newell the Monday before our gathering in Ark. to check the gaps on my slides along a few other things such as air bags, etc. It seems that the gap at the bottom of both slides are much lower than at the top. They are almost touching the body. Mike at Newell said they would check the plastic inserts that they ride on for wear. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi you all,
We own Coach 197, a 1989 Coach. We have been living in the coach for about ten years, although we now spend summers in our home in Maine.
This is our second Newel, the first being a 1978 38.5 footer we purchased in 1995.
We have loved both our Newells. Perhaps 50% of our enjoyment has been in working with the Newell Corporation for service. They have done a great job for us, even in repairing obsolete systems in the coach. We try to get back to the factory annually.
Having done a lot of maintenance ourselves, we are anxious to share experiences and ideas with other owners.

Will be in Miami tomorrow for a quick toilet fix and then off to colorado, to deliver the stacker. Also to look at a new one then back to Miami where she will sit for a week and get a few things fixed.
I replaced the drag link ends and tie rod ends on the dana ifs 84 suspension on 512. I felt free play at dead center in the steering at dead center and I could visibly observe movement in the drag ling ends. This suspension was also used on some country coaches and Henderson sells the parts. Yes, I know, I probably could have gotten them cheaper. I am providing the old parts to Ron Skeen and he can find a different source.
Here is the problem. On both 390 and 512 I always had a built in speed control. The coach would get out of its comfort zone somewhere between 66 and 68 mph. It was tactile feedback to decrease pressure applied by right foot.
Well, with the new steering links, the coach is composed up to 80. I stopped there because my speed alert alarm system (Rhonda) was activating.
I still have a minute amount of center free play. I would say 1 to 2 degrees. I have disassembled the steering column and it is NOT the u joints. They are tight. However I think it is the splined connection in the lower column. My setup has an adjustable length column to get from the top u joint to the steering box. I am gong to figure out how to remove that free play. I am thinking to tap and thread the outer column and uses a couple of bolts to tighten it up.
