Our radiant heat floor has been non operational since 2009 when Newell had noted it needed replaced. I of course found out the first night of our ownership when I turned it on and nothing happened. My question is where does the wiring enter the tiles? I have checked at the controller and it is an open circuit but I would like to dig a little deeper.

I saw this thread on the Wanderlodge forum. Lots of Newell’s in Florida, and the cylinders do need repair from time to time. Not everyone is comfortable tearing into them. I have not used these folks.

We just purchased a "Key West" home in Gulfport, Florida that holds our coach and has room for another on the pad behind her.  Easy access off of I-275,  50 amp, water, and waste all right here, and we are walking distance to downtown Gulfport's shops and restaurants (and just a short drive to St. Pete Beach).  Give us a heads up so we can move the boat out of the way then be our guest for a couple of days.  Bonus if you play a musical instrument so you can jam with Jac and her electric cello!

I am new to Newell, and just bought coach # 1260, a 2009 quad slide, C-15 cat. A beautiful coach and I am thrilled to own this beautiful motor home.
I know that I have many things to learn, and have found this fourm a great tool.
My two 120 V compressors have a toggle switch to change from one to the other and it performed as expected a month ago when I picked up the rig.
Now if the switch is to the left the right unit runs and if it is to the right both units run. I have not opened the box yet, but thought any advice before I move in with screw driver in hand would be helpful.
I have owned many motor homes, but never one like this.
Thank you

This is for you cyber Tuesday, feeling left out, shoppers.

If you will put the proper allen bit in the wrench it makes removing and installing the T Kane hubcap covers a breeze. You will appreciate it IF you have ever tried to remove them using a standard allen key. And it feels like buttah in your hands.

Steve and I have been on leak finding patrol today and found something odd. When at 110psi on shop air we hear leaks in the lines coming out of the engine mounted air compressor. If the pressure gets below around 80psi it seems to stop.

Is there some kind of valve or other mechanism inside or inline that would cause this?

Sounds like a lower pitched air leak.. Almost a moan. You can here it flowing through all lines exiting the compressor.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have an 2008 coach with a 4 gauge analog cluster.  While driving down the road, I lost 3 of the gauges...partially; I lost the tach, speedo, odometer, turbo, temp and volts.  I still had the brake pressures, hour meter on the engine, fuel and the backlights.  So kind of a partial loss of instruments.  I am "guessing" I either lost a power lead or a ground issue. 

Anyone know where the fuse is for the gauges by any chance?  I didn't see anything in the main electrical bay (the one with the pretty light indicators on the fuses), so that leads me to think it may be up in the front nose section where there are a few fuse panels without the pretty lights that make troubleshooting a breeze....  Any one know if there is an issue with leaving the key in the "on" position for like 20 minutes while testing all the fuses, or should I just start up and idle?

Interestingly I let the coach set over night and opted for a cold beer in lieu of doing any deep dives on up front fuse panels and voila, all the gauges are working again after starting the engine!  I am hoping this was a one time event... likely not.  Confused

As it is a Monday and we all need a good laugh...I was wondering if anyone has ANY electrical schematics for a Newell?   Rolleyes



Thanks in advance!

P.S. Not sure if I got the only coach with no real documentation or this is common, but any manuals would be greatly appreciated!

After looking at properties in Santa Fe we began the trip back. Since the under sofa heat exchanger is kaput we wanted someplace along the way with at least electric so we could run the fireplace for the salon. Found one a reasonable drivjng distance away in Wichita Falls, Tx. After an uneventful overnight we began our next leg to visit Steve in Louisiana.

30 Miles from his place the passenger side tag tire let go. Catastrophic failure. They are well within date codes and have exhibited no issues. TPMS did not see a rise in temperature nor a drop in pressure. We had just gone through some rough road/construction, but no idea what caused the issue.

Steve valiantly came to the rescue (what a guy!!) with an air over jack and tools, but I had already called a bunch of truck stops with mobile tire repair facilities. Both had the size I needed 11r24.5 some brand named "Double Coin" I'd never heard of. At least it's not a recap! Truck arrived several hours later while Steve and I had some great and varied conversations. Good thing I carry an assortment of tools as the service tech was missing some critical items, like the correct allen head to remove the hub covers! He did an great job getting it all squared away.

All in all no too bad a disaster and I am now safely ensconced in Steve's amazing shop, plugged in and getting ready to get some sleep. Tomorrow/Monday we will source another tire and swap the other tag (same as the bad one) And get some maintenance done. Mainly replace the teddy heater with the one I found on amazon and see if we can locate the nagging air leak(s)

Next stop after this? Maybe Chattanooga??

Hi Newell owners, I'm Woody Woodward, and I have just purchased my first Newell. I have been in a motor home owner for close to 14 years (not full timing) but mostly in the summer months as I live in Florida (South West Coast). While examining the next coach option from my 2016 Entegra Anthem that I purchased new, I was talking motorhomes with Steve (a Newell owner). He skillfully directed my journey to Newell Motorhomes, which I had never considered (for obvious reasons). BTY the Entegra Anthem has been an outstanding coach that I am reluctant to give up. One of the best that I have ever owned, I just wanted to try something different.
Thanks Steve, (who I may identify later) I now own a 2009 Newell #1260 quad slide, front entry, Cat C-15. 
I bought the coach from Mike Phillps from Motor Homes of Texas and he and the dealership were fantastic. I drove the rig from Texas to my home in Florida and had a great trip. No issues!
My first few weeks with my new rig have been over whelming and exciting. Big learning curve, but I love that, my wife, not so much.
Now I am excited to read everything that I can absorb and learn from this distinguished group of experienced Newell owners. 
I might add for a new guy, using this forum is not easy.

Hello,

On my Total Coach System, under Temp is the tile floor heat.  I am a little confused by the nomenclature and what the settings mean.  I can go from OFF to 1-10 which turns on the system and the floor warms up.  Does anyone no what the 1-10 is meaning?  Is this a relative temp, or time or?  

Also in the programming section of Temp is the Main Dwell time and the Secondary Dwell Time, currently both are set a 260 sec, not sure what that is referring to as well, so any thoughts are welcome.  

It would be nice to be able to set a desired temperature, but that option doesn't seem available.

I checked the manual, but this seams to be lacking, along with most of my manuals, or lack there of  Sad
