We have a 1997 Newell with a HWH living room slide-out.  We have the floor that goes up and down as the slide goes in and out.  It started to come up crooked on the dinette side where it ended up about an inch lower than it should be on the stationary side of the coach.  See picture.  We spoke to Newell and they feel it could be a worn out bushing located under the floor under the couch. 

Has anyone had to find the bushing they may be talking about?

Thanks for the help!

       

I got all this information from Ray Johnson, former owner of Boomer. 

Seems that the water line attachment fittings on the Headhunter pump are prone to cracking. Especially if someone gorillas them trying to stop a leak. Overtightening does not help, since it is an O ring that seals, not the threads.

But this is such a problem that Newell has had some machined from aluminum.

Contact Newell for more info. Just passing along as public service announcement. 

And oh yeah, we have to get Ray back into a Newell. He fits right in with the rest of the merry band.

Looking for a 36' Coach,  with a side radiator. ANY brand considered.
Ty.

Want to give a shout out to RV One Superstore in Charlotte.
I needed a place that was not 600 miles south (The Motorcoach  Store) or west ( Miami,OK) to do mainly chassis and generator oil change and filters as well as find leaks. There were 8 other things on the list too and they took care of all of the items.

It was great to see two other Newells also entrusting their service to this facility.

We met the driver of one of the Newells and he said he has been coming their for a number of years.

When I came today to pick our coach up, we met Tim ( one of two Newell technicians) who shared he has many years experience working on many a Race car driver’s Newells and he came across as very knowledgeable.

We were also blessed by the service manager Craighton who very good care of us and our coach. He kept us regularly updated on the progress and other than waiting for and fitting two new front tires for a few days our coach was there only for 10 days.

So I posted this incase other Newell owners were hoping to find a service center in the eastern part of the country or maybe is traveling through NC and is in need of service and a place that instills peace of mind that they know and understand the Newell product.

Tech called this pm and said when he went to open DS salon slide, the PS salon slide opened.  It was not turned on in the control panel.  When he tried to retract it nothing happened.  Any ideas?  He was calling Newell to if they had an answer.

Thanks,
Chris

Leaning to one side just over night.  Air bag or HCV?

My dishwasher was inop from when I bought it. The PO said he did not use it nor knew if it worked. 
I found that the garbage disposal knockout was still in place so the dishwasher had not been used since the new disposal was installed. This was the same mistake I made the first time I replaced a garbage disposal in one of my houses.
I bought a Fisher Paykel Single Drawer Dishwasher DD24S19 N. I did not need a separate install kit.
Installation of the drawer cover was easy-peasy. Getting it square was my main concern. The installation instructions were well thought out for this. You find the center of the drawer using the corners and a straight edge. On the new bracket there is a small hole you put over the center mark previously mentioned, make sure it is parallel with the bottem, then drill and screw carefully.
The bracket in the picture is the old one. I cut the wires from the original on/off switch and left the switch in place.
The only issue is the new dishwasher is vented. The old one wasn't. The vent supplied with the dishwasher would not work in my cabinets. I went to a boat supply house and bought a through hull fixture and installed it at the bottom of my cabinets.

The last picture is the completed install. 
It was easier than I expected.

Today a beautiful 2000 or newer coach passed by us as we were getting on I70, west bound at Odessa Mo. We are heading out west to Montana. 

Dario and Andrea Perini
#581 2001 45'8"

596 is riding low on the left rear. I tried to adjust what I think is the ride height actuator. It is just inside the dual tire. I loosened the hose clamp and slid the rod down.

It really didn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas? I think it is about 3/4" low.  Thanks in advance for all the help.

We are finally within a year of retirement and getting more serious on gathering expenses related to ownership. we will be in the $300,000 range for a prospective coach and have been looking around at potential insurance coverage. I am getting online quotes that range between $6800 to $7900 annual. One was a Progressive quote, the other through National. i know there has to be more reasonable coverage out there...please advise! 

Thank you, 

Gary
