Looking for classic Newell repair recomendations
#4

We have a coach that is as close to your coach as you will find, but as we all know, no two Newells are the same. We had wonderful service from Tri State Truck and RV in Chattanooga. It is a  small second generation family owned shop that is familiar with 2 stroke Detroit engines, and don't mind working on coaches. They had a mix of heavy trucks and a Prevost for heavy mechanical when we were there. We had our alternator rebuilt by them. The alternator on our 8V 92 Classics is ""wedged"  between the engine and the firewall, next to the air compressor. Jim Terry and his wife Laura  were great to deal with.   3500

We also have been chasing a coolant leak for two years, which finally became obvious in Sioux Falls this month. Our coaches have heater hoses which depending on options when built, may run under your bed to a small bedroom heater, to the water bay for preheating a Raritan water heater, and to the driver area  for footwell area heat and defrost. Running down the center of the coach are several wye type fittings, and ball shut off valves found in some storage bays , right under the coach floor area.  ( Look up)  Our particular leak was coming from a cracked wye fitting and wicking it's way down the heater hose , coming out 15 feet away near the front bumper.
