Hello all,

We are considering buying a Classic 1984 Newell Coach with a Cummins engine. I am currently awaiting a reply from Newell with more details.

All I have so far is the VIN and some pictures.

There are 3 window seals that leak. The coach has not been used since 2016 when it is said to have bee in perfectly working condition. The fuel is old and likely gone bad, so the engine does not stay running. I assume the fuel filter gets clogged. It will need fuel polishing, a fuel system cleaning, the water leaks repaired, and a good exterior wash and detail. The interior looks very nice and clean, except for the minor water damage.

Unfortunately the coach is about a thousand miles away in Louisiana. Hopefully we can find someone for a PPI and if it checks out we will travel there to look at it.

1991 coach found this air line in the drivers side engine bay. Can’t find any connection for it. Does anyone know where this air line belongs? It just shoots out air when I run the 120v compressor.

We got home from our trip today. After backing into the shop I plugged in the 50 amp and heard an odd noise. It sounded like a quick electrical buzz that lasted about 2 seconds. There’s no 12V at the master switch near the entry door or at the house fuse bank in the rear compartment. I’m not sure where to check next. There is 12V at one side of the solenoid in the rear box in the engine comp. But none at the small signal wire or the other large terminal.

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!

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

We got home from dinner last night as our new neighbors were moving in! We had a great time visiting with Terry and Cherie!!! (mycbarnes)

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.
