So I took some video a while back of rebuilding the six packs. I got busy and finally just got around to finishing up the video and getting it edited and posted. 

If you need the six pack rebuild kit, visit here:

So I started noticing my 12v compressor was getting louder so I decided I wanted to replace it. I gambled a bit and decided to try a low cost 12v ultra quiet compressor from Amazon. For the price i figured it was worth the gamble. So far I am quite happy with it, the new compressor is much quieter. We will see how it does over the long term, but I figured I just might buy a spare.

We're putting our coach up for sale because I have accepted a new position with the NPS that requires us to live in a house on site. It is a beautiful and well loved coach that has a lot of updates and a well documented maintenance history. It has been a great coach for us and we have kept up on all of the necessary maintenance throughout our ownership.

Since we have owned the coach we have done a few large upgrades such as installing new General HS2 16ply tires on the tag and drive axles, replacing the original Aquahot with a new unit from John Carrillo (HeatMyRV.com), replacing the original inverter with a Victron Multiplus II 3000W inverter/charger and upgrading the Amana refrigerator with a new stainless LG French Door model.

I would like to see this coach go to someone that will continue to take good care of it. We're willing to negotiate on the price as I'd like sell it before we have to move, but if for some reason it doesn't sell, we'll be placing it on consignment with a gentleman in Phoenix.

Here is a link to a Google Docs that has more photos and walk-through videos of the entire coach:

I know Ive seen it in here before but I cant find it. Who makes the stainless hub covers? I may have messed up and need a new one for the steer. The ground was frozen when I parked it...I got it out but at the cost of a hub cover. Cheaper than a tow bill I guess.

I changed the two fuel filters, one at a time and on the 8V92TA Detroit  and filled them with diese before installing them. This is the 8th time in eight years that I have done this with no problems. Well the 9th time is an issue. Strarted the coach up. Ran for about 30 seconds perfectly, no leaks. Then it started running rough, like 1 cylinder was not contributing.  I was unable to raisse the rpm's and shut the motor down. Removed the first filter, looking for perhaps a double gasket situation, but all was good. Same with the 2nd filter. Replaced them one at a time with spare filters, filling the filters with diesel. Now the coach is still a no start. Never had to purge air. I don'tknow how to proceed. Iam avoiding cranking for long periods, trying to avoid damaging the starter with heat. Any suggestions?

I know nothing about this one, just saw it on Facebook marketplace in Lafayette, LA.

I am getting ready to mount the racking for a large solar system and I am looking for some information on the dimensions of the roof framing.  I have photo I'll attach showing the basic lay out that can be seen when the snow on top was melting, but looking for something a little more detailed.  Particularly on the outside edges where the roof rolls down to the sides, as my "slush outlines" are lacking there. Can anyone provide any useful information?

THX!!!

Did a quick search didnt see a mention from others about heating the battery bay after upgrading to lithium. I am about to install 900 ah of lithium and thinking about cutting a hole to the aquahot bay from the battery bay and insulating it to ensure it stays above freezing. Thoughts? 

Thanks

Hey everyone, we are Chris and Paula.  We just bought a 2002 Newell series 450. We bought it from an original owner, been stored inside for over 20 years and used very little.  Has just over 17000 km on it which is around 10000 miles.  Yes 10k!   Has many problems that stem from siting.  I’ll be asking be asking for help once we get it home this week.      

Hello All
My name is Jeff Houpe from Gravette AR.  Short story long. I lost my home in a fire a week ago. Total loss. Roof over my head, cars, guns, motorcycles, everything. Has been pretty devastating. But God is good and nobody was hurt. 

My “snow bird” parents started heading home in their Prevost from FL when this happened. I went to visit with them a couple hours ago where the most amazing thing to ever happen, happened. They gifted me their beloved Newell. #504 Magnolia. Needless to say, I’m the proud owner of Newell (pipe dream until now). And, the best part, I have a roof over my head again. Looking forward to this forum. I heard it’s a wealth of knowledge. Fortunately for me, I call my wealth of knowledge, Dad.
