Hi, i’m an experienced coach owner.  Looking at a well maintained 2005 Newell.  225,000 miles.  Maintained at newell every year for last 10 years.

Love the Detroit.  Any comments?

Everybody needs one of these....apparently hard to come by still trying to get mine any hints on how to get one?
   

I have a number of things left over from the sale of the 99. Email [email protected] if interested. Buyer pays postage. 

Seals for HWH lock pins or cylinders, enough to do 4. $10.00
One rebuilt and tested (new seals) slide cylinder for front slideout.   $500  They are over a 1000 from HWH and six or more week lead time. 
Two fuel filters for generator, WIX 3417  $25 for both
Three Firestone air bags for drive axle. Used. The have the large inlets. No signs of cracking and less than ten years old. Yours for the shipping. 
One front airbag for the Dana IFS 84 suspension. Large inlet, age unknown, but no cracking. Yours for the shipping. 
Two Koni Red shocks for the rear. Very good shape, took them off to use Roadkings, RK's were no better. 50 for the pair.
One rebuilt Aquahot circulation pump. Tested, works, leak free, ugly. $25
One almost new drive motor for generator blower. $50



I also have a DDEC III engine control module that was original to the 12.7 Series 60 Engine. It has a small problem with the memory module in that it does not keep track of mileage in one of the memory registers that feed a VMSPC. It runs the engine just fine, with no check engine or stop engine codes. I replaced it with a DDEC IV which corrected the fuel mileage calculation on VMSPc. It would be a great spare to carry on board for a 12.7 Series 60. A remanufactured DDEC III can run over 2000 greenbacks. I think 500 is a good price for the DDEC III

Going through 49 East 3 Newells travel   opposite direction which really unusual. You lucky if  see one on the trip

Hey all gurus, its been awhile since I posted, Once I sold my beloved 746 I've been getting a itch to be back in the Newell family. I
know there are varied opinions on this subject. But what does having a salvage or rebuilt title do to the the price difference?  Would that be 20% to 30% or more from a non rebuilt title?

I've rebuilt plenty of cars that had salvage titles but they are not in the same ballpark as a Newell or Prevost etc.


Just looking for opinions.

As I am trying to get my hands on another brand rig, I have spent some time on the requisite forums. One of them even uses the same platform as Newellgurus. They are glitchy, really hard to post pics, and difficult to just read through the thread titles. 

The point is that it makes me appreciate the behind the scenes work that Scott McCloud has done for years to make this platform run very well for the users. 

Thank you again.

1989 Newell coach #197 for sale!  40ft wide body. This was  Newell's 'MODEL COACH' for 1989! MY brother, his wife and I have owned this coach for the past five yrs but they recently purchased a second home, so sadly, it's being put up for sale. Tires are 5 yrs, ALL air bags replaced by Newell in 2023, along with additional updates as needed. Full service records. Completely equipped for comfortable living and travel. For sale by owners. Call or text Peter for viewing or with any questions @ 631-880-2013. Currently located in St.Petersburg, Florida. Priced at just $44K!

What is the purpose of the "Ultra High" switch on the Thomas compressor select (Valid) panel?
   

So I keep spare tires for my coach, one for the front 315/80r22.5 and 11r24.5 for the rear. I have them in my trailer and they take up a lot of room. So I started looking and measuring and decided that I thought that I could make a couple of compartments recessed in the floor for them. I needed 13” for the height of the tire when it’s layed down, so I ended up calculating that if I made a raised section in the middle of the trailer that I could fit them in. The bottom of the compartments would not be any lower than the axles. The vehicle I use will still fit in fine, will have 3” on each side between the inside of the tires and the raised area, the raised area is 50” wide and the inside track of our vehicle is 56”. 

Cut the existing floor trusses out, they will be reused on the sides
   

Welded the side trusses in, I also boxed in the c channel trusses that will support the side trusses. 
   

Welding in steel angle supports for the recessed compartment
   

Lined the inside of the compartment with 1/2” pressure treated plywood and painted everything
   

Cut the old floor in half and put hinges on it for doors
   

Final product with tires in place
   

Got the depth just right, I am going to put rubber on top of the wheel to protect it
   

Hey guys!

I just had a truck driver turn down hauling my rig (a 1986) because he said it was to long for his trailer. Does anyone know what the wheelbase is on a 1986?
