2011 45' quad in rough shape
#3

Well. I understand people have opinions and I also understand people do not get the full story prior to retelling their version. This coach is in my rental fleet as I am the owner of Luxurious Rentals. This particular coach is owned by a person who purchased it and used it for travel to his sporting events. He did not care about the coach and it was used as a tool, it was not valued as most of us would value our Newells. SO THE NOTED CONDITION WAS DUE TO THE OWNERS NEGLECT NOT THE RENTAL COMPANY'S. I have dumped roughly $80,000 into this coach trying to bring it back to presentable condition, with ZERO help from the owner. It has been back to the factory twice and those bills alone were about $45k of the $80k. Each and every item we asked the factory to fix has broken again, and they could really care less. Every part I have researched to order elsewhere has literally been half the price of theirs. Ive moaned and groaned so much that they must have had a meeting about me and I don't exactly feel comfortable calling there anymore. I am still attempting to get this coach back on the road confidently but still have some reservations about others operating it. The biggest issue is that occasionally the coach will not move when accelerated from a traffic light, its like the trans is in neutral. Newell took it to Allison who said no problem found. I took to to three other Allisons who said the same. I did finaLLY GET a DTC code on the last fault since I was driving it. Some items we have attended to...

Generator went directly to Martin and was rebuilt.
All new tires on the coach
All new batteries in the coach
New alternator
Tank Sensors replaced
Several roof leaks repaired (after Newell "fixed" them)
HD Stationary Dish Replaced
HD Air antenna replaced
Fuel sender replaced
HMS360 Replaced
TV Lift brains replaced 3x
All interior bulbs switched to led
Awnings repaired 2x


And I still have issues. There is an air leak someplace that Newell supposedly fixed but my 110v compressor is running constantly. I adjusted the ride height arms and lubed them good which stopped the air sound from there. I now think it may be the water canister in front bay on 110 valid compressor system. I am trying my damndest to bring it back to acceptable condition but it is literally draining me. My wife has been on me to give it back to the owner, who again could care less. It was parked in my storage lot outside for about a year before we took it in. The mattress was stained from the roof leaking, the sculpted carpet was stained from a roof leak as well. Several $110 drawer and cabinet door latches were broken. Cargo door locks were nearly all broken. It goes on.

It has come quite a distance since you saw it in March. But still has a list as long as my arm. We had it on a 4 month rental this summer and it was basically a nightmare. Recently it has only been on rentals where we drop it and set it up for the client and it doesn't move until we return.

Im constantly looking for parts and assistance to restore this beast, as no one rents one. Its nice to be able to try an rv before you buy an rv and if you're looking for a Newell this is the only one available to rent. Its not listed on our main website for the reasons stated above.

Im currently in need of help/assistance with some of the following...

Rim covers for front tire
I have Omniscope but can not get much help in understanding it or knowing if Im applying the correct scripts.
The dryer vent cable will no longer go in and out. The flap opens after we unhooked the cable from it.
The screws on the exterior body trim are all falling out.
The Aqua-Hot is not in the best shape.
The dump valves are strange, DS Dump Open is always red, even after the factory trip.
The fault code during the last no movement issue were 1176, 103, 102
And several other items....


Any help on where to buy parts aside from Newell are happily welcomed.
