I just purchased a 98 newell.   is the coach number the last 3 digits of the vin ? or is it located somewhere else ?  ty

So I have a 98 model newell. new issue...
start up the coach and all runs great. hit the hwh leveling system and put it in travel mode , lights on controller activate but the coach will not air up in the front or in the rear, coach is currently sitting all the way down on the ground. I cannot even get it to raise the rear with the air chuck in the back battery compartment. I have been all over this thing trying to figure this on out, All air guages are at 120 psi. This just happened, Any help would be appreciated.  feel free to pm me if needed.

darlene and i just got back from a 7k mile trip.....we didnt take the newell for a variety of reasons, but mostly because of fuel costs, and lack of rv facilities in a lot of the places we were going.  

we went from arizona to toronto, across the tip of michigan to iowa, then nebraska and colorado and home.  visited a number of gurus on the way and thanks to each of them for hosting us or feeding us or both.....

an observation.   other than at the newell factory where we stopped for a tour, we didnt see a single newell.  

in fact, i would say we saw very few big rig rvs and all, certainly far less than in past years.

I just bought and received a bunch of additional parts from Newell, airbags, ride-height control valves, ready to bring them to the repair shop for the 2nd repair work on my 701.

However, Newell is out of stock on one line of items that I had ordered, quantity 3 of part# NC 23730, Linkage, for Ride Height Control Valves.
This linkage connects to the arm of the height control valve. Because Newell doesn't have this in stock, I have to shop around or have to re-use the old parts. Newell says they won't have it until sometime in September, which is 2 or more months' lead time.

The problem with re-using old parts is that there is one little rubber grommet bushing that comes with the linkage part. The linkage connects to the arm of the ride height control valve.
The repair shop said it was this little rubber grommet bushing that had failed. That was the culprit for the saga I had experienced several weeks ago, the 701 had to be towed back to the repair shop, only drive 3 or 4 miles away after the 1st repair was done. The shop's finding is contrary to what the tow truck driver's finding it was the ride height control rod being loose or unsecured. So I really don't know what exactly the cause of failure.

The saga was posted here and here.

I would like to get comments or ideas, on where to purchase this, rubber grommet bushing for the linkage to the ride-height control valve. Newell doesn't have the NC 23730 (linkage), or rubber grommet bushing available at this time.

Have purchased my coach tires from Dave and Wendy at National Tire Consierge Service and saved a bunch of money and loved how easy the process was.  One side benefit was that I could also use them for my car tires as I generally buy Michelin.  Here was the verdict.

BMW Dealer - Almost $1600
Tire Rack - $1247 (where I normally buy)
NTB - $1268
NTCS - $908 (will be shipped to NTB for mount/balance)

Funny side note that when I was talking with the dealer that did the install on my coach tires through NTCS this morning to see what they could get there hands on we got to chatting about the pricing I get vs. what they get based up on their 25 locations throughout the west and midwest and he said my pricing is actually about $25 less per tire than his wholesale cost from Michelin.  

Such a nice service that Dave and Wendy provide and you save money to boot.

Hi All,
I remember seeing somewhere that there are hidden emergency releases for the interior doors in case the buttons don't work.  
Can anyone share where I'd find out about this?  I have a 2004 with a door to the rear bath and one mid-ship to the bedroom.
Thanks!
