So I just completed repair on one of my bay doors. I went the Richard inspired route and adhered the door with Thixo. 

Anyway here is an advance sneak peek at the video that will be public on Saturday:

Please critique if you will as I have all the bay doors to do and anything I can do to improve the process is welcomed.

Hello,

New to the group. I purchased coach #485 last weekend in Dallas Texas and drove her to her new home in Columbus Indiana. 900+ comfortable and uneventful miles. 
We stopped for the night at Newell on along the route home and got a look at some of the newer coaches. 
My dad owned a 1983 Newell 37’ many years ago but this is my first coach. The Newell Gurus site has already been invaluable. 
The previous owner was meticulous and the coach needs nothing. 
Planning to polish the aluminum wheels this weekend. 
Here are some pictures of us parked at Newell on our first night of ownership and another tucked away inside her new home in Indiana.

Yesterday was noteworthy.  I got on the freeway at 8AM and a few miles down the road I smelled coolant.  The temperature was rapidly rising thru 200°.  By the time I got it stopped on the side of the road it was 215°.  An AquaHot 3/4" X 1/2" plastic hose adapter had broken.  I had a spare & 1 1/2 hours later we were on our way again, topped off with water.  

Was notified the refrigerator lights were off & in fact the inverters were not working.  Rather than troubleshooting that, I started the generator & ran it all day.  I called Jimmy at Newell, duh, turned the inverter control ON.  That cured that, who knows why it turned itself off or why it wasn't part of my thought process.

Went to plug into the 50A campsite power & when I raised the lid a bunch of wasps flew out.  One did a flyby and stung me on the tip of my nose on its way.

Can anyone tell me what this is? It is located on the driver's side end of an air tank running transverse to the coach between the rear wheels.       It was releasing a large amount of air. iIt stopped when I tapped the rod protruding from the end with a hammer.  Does that reset it or do I need to replace it.

I just purchased a Newell in North Texas. I’ll be passing through Miami, OK and was wondering if a reservation was required for overnight parking at the Newell Factory for tonight. I tried calling but the after hours answering services couldn’t answer my question. If not, are any other campsites nearby recommended?

Hi all,

Does anyone know what has to be turned off when we park our Newell for a few months without a 110vac line?
If we turn off all the batteries, do we lose any computer program's & what about the Inverter?
 
Thank You,
Mark

So one of the guys on the Wanderlodge forum posted this and it was such good stuff I had to post it over here. I have been using this guys Comman Man alignment techniques for some time now after finding the video on YouTube, but there are lots of other great videos on subjects that every Newell owner could use to know a little bit about. 

Here is the link to the video library:

If you do not watch all of them I would definitely watch this one on tire inflation:

Lost a generator water pump on our first long trip, was able to get it fixed a day later, then genset ran fine for a couple days.
 Then early one morning it made some noises and shut down. It will re start, runs up to rpm, then slows to an idle then shuts down again.. 
Engine sounds fine, there was a round piece of plastic in generator compartment, and black dust around head unit.. 
Can I be lucky and just need brushes or something? I'm a mechanic, but not familiar with gensets.
I tried calling martin but no response yet.

What are the experts thoughts on keeping this old unit going vs. updating to something newer?

I’d like to start with this makes me sick

Large branch fell off a tree and hit the roof of the coach.  I’ll attach some pictures. What is the best way to go about repairing this??  And recommendations on shops??  Yes it’s insured.  

Also is the roof aluminum??

Coach 375 broke down on I 75 outside Atlanta with tow truck on site, trying to release brakes so it can be towed. Dropped a driveshaft possibly. Anyone know of a shop that we can tow it to. Is there a brake release valve, if so where would it be located.

Thank you.

Jeff
