Gurus,
My chrome dome breather cap on the HWH slide reservoir spun loose from the 1/4" pipe fitting that seals to the tank assembly.  A quick fix....wrap a single strand of stainless steel wire between the 1/4" pipe fitting and the cap to jam itself together.

Greetings,
We just bought our first RV, Coach 295. It was an estate situation and the son did a great job of sharing what he knew but we have quickly learned there is a lot more to this thing. We drove it 1400 miles home from Arizona to the great northwest and had our daily class in the school of hard knocks along the way. I am happy to say the only problems we had with the coach were the ones we brought upon ourselves which leads me to why we joined this site, we have so much to learn. It has the owners manual but all it imparts is the features the coach has, not how to use any of them. I'm sure we will humor members with what should be common sense questions as we get deeper into this.
The coach is in great shape, we like to tell people we went looking in Quartzite for a treasure and came away with a gem! We have been able to piece together from the paperwork in the coach that we are the 5th owners and a Newell was the 2nd. The 3rd owner started a black book of records that was kept up by the 4th, pretty cool! We have almost 15 years of history because of it and there is room for us to continue with it for the next owner.
Adventures are awaiting us!
Janet & Galen

Went to the coach today and the 120v compressor was not working.  After checking fuses I found when I switched on the 12v master switch on the control panel in the coach where the lights, step, etc. (just inside the coach door) are controlled, the pump started right up and pressured the system up.  Is this normal?  If not, where do I start looking for the problem?  I don't recall having to do this is the past.
Thanks

I acquired a 1973 Newell from an auction and was only able to get a walk around look at it before buying. This is one of the older diesel pushers with the Cat 1160 and a 6.5kw onan gas generator in the front behind an easily removable cover that looks like a grill. The generator does not respond at all to the start button and it is tucked back in there pretty tightly so I can only access the front of it but not the part where the starter and other motor components are. It looks like it is on a slide out rail type of system but from what I can see I would have to remove the front bumper and a lower grill and take out some retaining bolts in order to be able to slide it out. Is this the easiest way to access the generator on these models? I was looking if maybe there was a cover on the inside that I could remove and access it from the top like an old van motor or something but it is all carpeted and it did not look like there was any type of cover I could remove (unless it is under the carpet and I have to pull up the carpet first to see it). When I searched the forums on one thread someone mentioned a removable section from the center of their bumper that they took out and then they could slide the genset out but my bumper is one piece. The bumper looks like it only has 4 bolts holding it in but if there is an easier way I'd rather not have to deal with removing a big heavy bumper. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for letting me be a member. Figured I should do some more research on here as I am looking at upgrading to a Newell.

Right now I have a 78 FC31 Wanderlodge and I am looking to upgrade to a 90s Newell or a LXI. Whatever unit I buy it has to have a DD60 and no slides.

I look forward to looking around.

Here are several manuals for old Cummings Diesel Engines.
Right now, I only have the "Operations & Maintenance Manuals."
I'll see if I can dig up shop service/repair manuals for these older type Cummings engines. 
If I can find it, I'll post it here, or if someone else has it, please share it.








update:  added shop service manual, part 1 (first 100 pages or so). 
If it's useful, let me know; I'll construct the 2nd part when I get more time.

I am fairly new to our 2005 Newell coach 728 and have had it plugged into a 50 amp service. I tried to use a 120V adapter  this week when i didn't have 220V available. The contactor box wouldn't make contact, click or have the lights come on the box. Steve Bennett thought it was running on a 120V cord in his showroom.
Question is does it work on 120V outlet with a 120V to 220V 50 amp adapter? what am i doing wrong?

  • I made sure it isn't hooked up to a ground fault outlet
  • I am going direct to the outlet without a extension cord
  • I have 120V power on both the X & Y terminals of the adapter (pulled apart enough to probe with a voltmeter)
  • I have 120V power inside the contractor box on one leg only
  • Do I have an adapter that is not the correct one?
