Hi there everyone my name is Ralph Murphy and wife’s name is Eva. We are owners since December 22 of  2004 Newell Coach 695 quad slide. I’m really enjoying it here while staying at Ocala North RV Resort just outside of Reddick, FL. Beautiful area with lots of horses. We’re excited and happy to be part of the Newell family.

We are going to have our coach painted next month. The awning color is of course, not going to go well at all since it is burgundy. Rather than throw more money in to redoing them $$$$ I am wondering if people just remove them entirely. I have the non powered Girrard shades with the big aluminum supports going down the sides of the coach. It will definitely interfere with the graphics we have chosen. I may leave the hardware in place and have them painted over to match. What do you guys think?

Hello ladies,
We finally got our “new to us” coach after weeks of repairs. Now I have a very little budget to upgrade the interior. I have lots of questions about decor and upgrades. 
Have any of you made changes to the front curtain. The one I have looks dirty and ugly. Have you been able to wash it? Got rid of it? If yes replaced with what? Pictures are certainly welcome!

Drove 9 hours today and all went well until we got to our destination.  When I got to our friends house I had the coach idling on low idle for maybe 10 minutes as we tried to figure out where I was going to park.  After quite a bit of jockeying I hear on the other end of the phone from my wife/spotter my friend saying you're leaking anti-freeze.  I hop out and sure enough it had made a pretty nice trail where I was backing up, although was going super slow so it's hard to judge.  He asked what my water temp was and I hopped back inside and it had went up to about 205.  I got parked, threw it on high idle, aired up and got my supports in place so I could go under and get a look.  By about the time I got all of this done it had all but stopped leaking onto the ground.  

I will say when I got out at a rest area and walked around checking hub temps mid-trip as it walked around that corner of the coach and caught a whiff of anti-freeze.  Opened up engine bay and couldn't see anything near radiator and it was not leaking on the ground then either.  

Few questions:

1.) Sent image as I don't even know which tank to look at to see levels and also don't know which side I add fluid to if needed.
2.) If I'm no longer seeing it running to the ground I'm assuming I can attempt to limp home and just keep an eye on fluid level?

I think that's it.  First time dealing with this kind of issue so any additional insight would be greatly appreciated.

The 12 volt air compressor is used for keeping the small tanks filled with air so you can properly operate the air doors and the toilet ?

the 120 volt compressor is used to keep the entire air system at 120 psi when unit is parked and plugged in  ? Guess this can keep your coach level while chasing down those little air leaks..

Note:
Thank you for the info. This bus sat for 8 years. I was Jonny Rutherfords ( indy car drivers bus) I have been redoing it for 1 year now and its first real trip coming up in a few weeks. It has been thru a good shakedown, but will have a few more questions coming up. When all is done I will have a great write-up and summary of everything I have found out thry newell gurus and Newell.

I had asked a while back but can't find the posting.  In the R1 bay in conjunction with the 120v compressor well switch is a regulator.  Seems like its a pressure relief regulator.  Does anyone know what the correct setting would be?
