I have a question about financing older units. The dealers I have found with older than 2012 Newell's tell me they can't finance those. Called a dealer yesterday looking for a Newell and was told they had a 2009 London Aire they could finance with no problem which has me wondering why.

I am new to the forum and have been looking at Newell's for a while now and am ready to purchase. I have found ones I like in the 2003-2009 range but have no idea what price ranges these should bring and if there are issues on some to avoid over others (Detroit over Cat) (ZF OVER Allison) Are there things I should really look for? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello everyone I recently joined the group and I am taking possession of 351 and the next coming weeks

I have been following a lot of of you guys’s post and I am extremely happy that I found this website. I have some experience with the Diesel pusher as I solo traveled in a 2005 Alfa gold 39’ Diesel pusher for about 2 1/2 years it was nice, but this thing is like 1000 times better. 

it’s in a little bit of rough shape as it has sat for about six years I believe  the motor sounds beautiful, but pretty much nothing on it works lol maybe one of the ACs out of the three, but I think with you guys’s help in a little bit of money ((maybe a lot)) I can get her back on the road. She already has brand new tires.

I’m hoping to find someone who is mechanically inclined in the Texas area before I go long distance. I’d like to see what I can do by myself and then I would love to maybe go buy someone else that is like way more knowledgeable on all the systems to see if maybe they can help :-).


As you can see some of the pipes are busted :-(I’m guessing they forgot to winterize it when the father got sick Only thing I could get to work was one of the ACs two of them are still pretty warm, but I was using a 5000 W Ot Gen Generator because I couldn’t get the 17.5 on board Generator working, but I suspect it’s because the batteries are too low and it’s not enough fuel so I think once I put the new batteries in there and put some diesel in there, then I can start troubleshooting the generator.

I'm the new (2nd owner) of built 770 (2006 model 450) and can't seem to find the in/out control for the stair well cover. My coach is a mid coach layout. Anyone have a suggestion or any other similar models out there where is your in/out button for the stair cover?

So in the extreme hot months I have noticed a increase of heat in the rear bedroom and rear closet area.  I have looked all over the rear engine compartment and all the heat blankets are in place on the walls and top of engine cover. Motor is running at 185-190 degrees at all times. Tires are at correct pressures.  blankets are on the turbo and pipes. Hard to keep rear bedroom cool on a 6-8 hour drive. Any suggestions to look at ?? Im wondering if the removable  floor to access motor is sucking in heat,,,

Hey folks,  Myself and wife Melonie are the proud new owners of coach #608

What can we say but Tom and Darlene have been absolutely wonderful to work with and this is my first big coach. So I am a bit overwhelmed and trying to slowly get a grip on all the learning.  We picked it up at their place and spent a couple of days going over things and getting all new tires.  We drove it back to Tn where we reside in Nashville. We love the bus and have been on a few trips but I am using it now mostly to go to work in atlanta and then back to Nashville. Yes I have a retail store in Atlanta that has been there for 32 years. 
That's all for now but wanted to say Hi!!!    I am sending his license plate back to him! lol. its the guru plate

Alan and Melonie

Well, after dumping countless dollar$ in my coach (639) ... brake pads /rotors/ calipers/ bearings / suspension / complete Hydro hot rebuild / new blinds / 3200 watts of solar / 1200 amp hours of lithium batteries / 5000-watt 48v Victron inverter / new Gerard awning /etc..... I have decided to continue to spend my kid's inheritance by replacing one or both of my SCS AC units with mini split(s).  I have installed a few and I feel comfortable going down this road.  With the solar/ battery system I have, I'd like to be able to run at least one unit off it, which limits me to 120v 12000 btu units.  Initially I was hoping to gain back some storage space, but it appears the condensing units are just large enough that will not be possible.  I have moved my TV to a televator (sp?) in a fireplace cabinet across from the couch in the salon, so that is where I envisioned installing the inside evaporator unit.

  BUT....... then I came across the invertor style "U" shaped AC units.  Initially I dismissed them but the more I think about it, I am wondering if I might be doable.  The entire unit would fit in the area where the TV was.  I would obviously need to install a compartment to speperat the two halves and some ducting to get the air into and back out of the condenser, which would necessitate some custom ducting and grills on the sides and maybe the front of the coach.  Also need and option to deal with the condensate, but these do not seem any harder than installing both the evap and cond and fishing the line-set from one to the other.  The obvious benefit would be reclaiming the storage.  One issue may be that it will likely be louder than a true mini split (though, according to YouTube videos, still much quieter than a standard RV roof unit.  I am thinking a thick foam wall where the window normally would be with a tinted black plexi sheet to separate the hot side from the cold side and help keep the noise down.   Thoughts???? Check out U shaped ac units on amazon and Youtube.
