So I had issues with the heater core at the front of the coach about a month ago.  I closed off the two valves that seemed to stop the flow of antifreeze to the front of the coach (the two valves closest to the front of the coach - BACK of the engine since it is mounted backwards as opposed to a truck…???).  
I drained, filled with water, drained, filled with water and ran the engine until the thermostat kicked in and drained the water then put in Final Charge RED Extended Life Antifreeze.  
I had an unexpected result today.  We traveled about 5 hours to Mississippi and settled into an RV park.  Went to take a shower and no hot water. Since I had turned off the heat loop to the front of the coach maybe this affected the engine heat to the Aquahot…??? 
So this started me thinking, which always gets me in trouble but NOT hot water this time, that I could just crank up the diesel or 240-volt electric AH and we could take nice hot showers as always. I went outside and everything looked fine BUT there was no juice in the AH tank that I could feel with my finger. The overflow jug was a little over the COLD mark.  
I didn’t want to start the AH with no juice but what was really ODD was that the juice in the overflow was now RED not the old green stuff that I had in it… I’m confused as to whether I should top off the tank with the old green or use the new hotness RED… what do you guys think and how on earth is this system connected to the engine now? Did I turn off the wrong valves??? 
The engine/radiator ran perfectly (after burping) and it even sucked antifreeze out of the overflow bottle which I’ve never noticed it doing before… 
BTW, the 12 to 24-volt conversion on the SCS air conditioners is working GREAT!  Ran for 3 hours on the genset in 80f and performed great front and rear! It’s almost cold in here now! Thanks to Gino/Jeff, Tom and others for their help! Now I have to get the heater system working with it and I’m golden (or time to sell!) …

 help how do I make sure my 2007 newell is in park please help me it's my elderly father's and he can't drive anymore

Has anyone had any luck replacing their oil pan with the military type? Mine is rusted out and the best condition/price seems to be the military version but it has a different shape and I think you'd have to modify the oil pickup maybe.

my 120 V air compressors won’t start automatically. I have checked all of the fuses and breakers and the GFI‘s that I could find. They will manually turn on by switching switch number one on the main Newell board. Any ideas where else I can look for an issue

Hi guys - our coach is in a shop in Myrtle Beach, the techs are trying to find some rear lower control arm bushings, apparently Newell does not have the parts any longer. They have been searching for two months now. 

Does anyone on the boards know of another possible supplier? 

Thanks for any suggestions,

Dave

I am now the proud owner of coach 738, a 2005. 
this site is awesome ans a wealth of help. 
I picked it up last week in FL and drove it to MI. We had a couple of thigs happen on the way that I am in the proccess of taking care of, but that is to be expected.

Both the wipers stopped working on the way when we had some huge wind gust that lifted then about 4 inches off the windshield and stopped them from moving. If anyone has info on checking and or replacing the wiper motors, that would be helpfull.  

A waterline under or behind the fridge started leaking. I will take the drawers out, the bottom panel off and see if I can find the leak. 

One of the former owners took out the thomas air compressors and replaced it with one cheap Campbell Hausfield. He has the pressure regulater on the compressor at 40PSI and I am not it sure what that should be set at. 

Thanks much guys.

Hey guys, 
2002 Newell series 450 
Can someone explain how the air door locks with the key pad.  I found the master code for the door but don’t really understand it.  
Are you supposed to to lock it with the keys as well?

my 02 had a big strange backup camera monitor in the dash.  it failed and it was heavy and broke the woodgrain plastic dash.  i had a new dash cad done and waterjet cut out of carbon fiber look thick plastic.  and a aluminum backing plate to strengthen the dash.  i did the piece that goes from left to right in 2 pieces.  i repositioned the other things in the dash to make it easier to use.  and added a usb charger plug and new 12v plug.  

had to take the entire dash apart.  it is like trying to figure out the secret tunnels and rooms in the Egyptian pyramids.  my arms look like they have been whipped with a branch from being in the small places in the dash....ha

in the end i figure i had about 50 hours in it.  you ask why so much.  it took tons of time to do custom trimming.  and fitting   and heat form bending.  

it turned out amazing.  darlene helped me as well and we both said we will never make another dash....ha

here are some pictures.  

the new owner is here to pick it up.   more to follow on that.

I had my Foretravel washed and waxed today in the Greater Houston area by Xtreme RV Mobile Detail.   They arrived 5 minutes before their appointment time and in an hour and a half my roof and sides were sparkling.  They were very meticulous as they moved around the couch washing and then spray waxing.  Wheels, tires, chrome mirrors and my clear coated paint were shining.  So if you are in the greater Houston area. Give them a call.  I am most pleased with the result.
