Does anyone know what the pressure is, when brake is applied? I want to run the Air Force one for my truck, but place installing the kit want to know what the pressure is. Regards

I have a 1980 that originally had a Cat engine. It was replaced with a Detroit 8v71 I believe. I loaned the rv to a friend of mine who doesn’t watch his gauges. It overheated in spectacular fashion. So sad because the Detroit had very low miles. Now I’m deciding what to replace it with since it got so hot it’s not rebuildable. I own a wrecked Van Hool with a good series 60. Any advice here would be appreciated. It looks like the 60 would fit but maybe I’m better off buying something else.

Good morning gurus, I would like to change out my sofa to two recliners. My dilemma is, I need the seat belts for my grandkids. What can I do? Happy new years!! Mike

Hi All, 

My toilet is leaking from the top part of the black part of this valve on coach #530. You can see the crack in the photo. I would like to just purchase this part. But I can only find the whole sequence value for sale. Does anyone know where to just buy the top part. Thanks in advance.

I guess the title says everything… about to start a trip for Christmas and I am not sure if I have to have the engine preheat switch on in order to take advantage of the engine heating the aqua hot?

In our 2006 Newell the audio and video systems are a bit outdated, I was wondering what others have done to update things since the wiring and connections look like a complete nightmare. We want to install our Starlink which isn’t an issue except it won’t connect to the tv’s. I can put in a fire stick with a composite to hdmi converter but that just seems like I’m putting a small bandage on a bigger issue. Any ideas or update help would be appreciated.

   

The bearings on the pantograph arms are getting loose. I found new replacements at American Bus and accessories. The part number shown here is the correct one for 316 which was built in 1993. Be sure to check compatibility. The first ones they sent were the correct part number on the bag with the wrong part in the bag. The quickly sent me the correct part after I called.

Took our coach 512 into the truck shop we have used for years be inspected, as we have an 11 month trip starting in January.   They called because it needed brakes and routers.  The mechanic called Newell and ordered the parts. A quick phone call to Richard and a search here gave the mechanic everything he needed to get the job done.  Next time I may try this at home, but it is too cold and icy for me to attempt it before this trip.  Thank you Richard for posting detailed notes.

Thank you!

I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah this December 15 2025.

This is another of my DIY projects - bought a blow up booth so I didn't paint my neighbors house - rough job but turned out ok at the 25 ft distance 
Sorry I've not kept up with this site - it's been a wirlwind year.

I'm not completely satisfied and will be touching it up at our Covert Michigan property this summer. Right now we're enjoyng the weather in our Sand Springs Oklahoma home. And I have a donor engine and transmission vehicle in my driveway. 98 Monaco Windsor - 8.3 mechanical Cummins and a Allison World 6 speed automatic that I'm going to put into my Newell this spring. It's going to be a pain and fun also. I'm a Master Auto Tech and an Engineer but this is by far the biggest thing I've ever tried. Fun getting a new to me A-frame - 10ton chain fall and a beast of an engine crane to swap things around. For those that have followed my storied Newell projects I had an 8.3 Cummins ISC I had to sell because of our move to Oklahoma, even though that was painfull loosing the money I couldn't be happiers putting in the 300hp engine with under 60,000 miles. Our Michigan property is new for us this year also. Close to the big lake with 1 hour access to our older daughters house in GR and 1 hour from South Bend for old friends and family. Another huge project but I couldn't be happier to take it on. Especially since Marcia and I are both retired senior citizens with much more time for projects.

Hi Gurus, I have coach 1490, and it has the wastemaster sewer hose and drain system. My question is, is there an extension for this type of hose. Ty
