Forum: Please introduce yourself
- Replies (5)

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. We just purchased a 2003 Newell, coach # 650. Bought it in South Carolina last week and drove it to Arizona. Really enjoyed the first long trip. Looking forward to more adventures and getting to know more Newell owners. 
Also, does anyone know a dealership or repair shop in Arizona that works on Newells? It seems like AC’s are blowing cold air and we need to have someone look at them. They are the basement units (2 units). Called an residential AC company but they said they cannot work on these. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. 
Thank you,
Faisal Naveed

Included in some of the documents I found in my coach are two blueprint drawings that I assume  are  hand drawn (originals drawn with a drafting arm on a drafting table then scanned and printed on a large format printer as opposed to being CAD drawn). I thought these  were pretty neat, they match my coach very accurately and have nice detail. Has anyone seen similar drawings or know anything about them. I assume that maybe they came with each coach when it was bought new from the factory as part of the owners documents but that is purely speculation. Anyone else find something like these?

Started receiving a CDC damper error on my last trip.  I've attached the error code and message from the Silverleaf display.  Hoping it's just a loose connection on one of the wires/connectors.  Anyone else experience this issue?

We just got back from having service done at Newell where they worked on a number of things however now our Aquahot Diesel Burner will not even attempt to come on. We are assuming it is a main 12 volt fuse for the Aquahot.

We have the 431 and we have already tested all the fuses on the Aquahot and they are all fine.

There must be a main 12 Volt fuse that supplies the 12 volt power to the Aquahot. Looked in the book and couldn't find it listed.

Does anyone know where the main 12 volt fuse is for the Aquahot.

Our electric is working fine so at least we have hot water but we normally use the diesel to heat up in the morning and shut off for the rest of the day.

Well, ignore some of the DDEC stuff below. My curiosity got the better of me today and I plugged the original reflashed DDEC III into the engine, and it fired right up. I plain missed the diagnosis. In hindsight trying to unravel this mystery, I now think that when the fuel tube broke, the engine completely emptied the fuel filter canister, the fuel lines, the fuel pump, and the injectors. I based my faulty DDEC diagnosis on the fact that diesel was not moving out of the fuel filter, and there was no diesel smoke or smell at the exhaust. I am not beating my self up too bad. Given the facts I had at the time, I probably would have done the same thing all over again. On the bright side, I now have a programmed DDEC spare.
=======================================================================
Woo wee, what an experience. I will do this in installments. 

Thursday, Aug 11, Rhonda and I were traveling from Richfield UT to Grand Junction Co on I 70 when the coach died on 6% grade uphill. I barely made it off the road, and the coach was right on the white line. Unless you have driven this stretch of I 70, you do not realize these are the hinterlands. 

   

In summary, there were two serious issues that caused the engine to stop. Issue 1 was the DDEC III computer lost it’s mind. Issue 2 was the fuel pick up tube broke inside the fuel tank. 

It took five days, two trips to Grand Junction, two DDEC computers, two trips to Richfield, and enough plumbing fittings for small subdivision to get us off the freeway. 

I will post the details, the fixes, and lessons I learned in this ordeal below.
