Just wanted to share a project that I completed today. 

I decided to fix a couple of bay door skins that had started to come loose.  The wet bay door had started sagging and the small door next to it was coming loose at the bottom.   I wasn't for sure how difficult of a job it was going to be so I started on the larger one and got it finished first.

At first I thought I could do it with the frame still attached to the coach but ended up removing it to make things a lot easier.

Removing the old double sided tape was the toughest part but by the second door I had a pretty good system.

Once both sides of the aluminum mating surfaces were clean, I had Hannah help me set the frame onto the skin.  Once the tape touches the joining surface there's no going back so it had to be perfectly aligned . 

Total cost was about $150, the 3M tape was $125 and the roloc disks about $25.

Hey everyone, what is the halogen bulb number used in the bathroom tube lights? One light went out and I cannot read the bulb number. Same with the other bulb. 
Coach is 1261, a 2009 model. Thanks!

Our 1984 will not raise to ride height. I can switch it to leveling, and get it to come up.  Brake air is rock steady at 120. Supply air seems to be losing about 10lbs per minute . I should be able to hear a leak that big, but I have not found it . This is not an emergency yet, but it will be when the snow comes here to Iowa !

Does anyone have the part number for the 90s allison ht 740 output shaft seal? I had oil coming out of the weep hole, tried to get the part from an allison dealer/shop but the serial number only pulls up the long bore output housing with the retarded, no the shorter coach /tour bus version and will argue with you that the bus housing style doesn't exist. I attached a picture of the seals, top is the one they sold me, bottom is thr one I pulled out of the housing behind the yoke shaft and in front of the bearings. 

I'm about to put the whole thing back together with the old seal cleaned up and oiled, reassemble everything and limp to Vegas, because we are 80 miles south of Elko, NV and I can't get any help here. We are going to pull over at every rest area and check fluid levels and top off accordingly. 

Oh, if anyone needs it, the retaining nut on the yoke is 2-3/4 and it took my 1" pnuematic to Crack the torque. 

Thanks!

                    Hello everyone I own a 1969 25' Newell with 80,000 miles that is un-molested and looks like it came from the factory. I am the second owner. The interior is a Time Machine, CB radio, small TV, oven never even used or fridge. Carpets, seats, vinyl soft as the day they were put in it. 
The exterior we have had removed all the lights and powder coated the bumpers, polished her up and are updating the painted areas. The only thing original I don't have is the generator, which Newell said they actually have. We are going thru the engine to freshen it up. Just wondering if anyone else has on this old? One of the old timers at Newell told me it was the 17th one of 22 made in '69 according to the data plate info I gave him. It used to live not far from Newell HQ in OK. Its here in Memphis now at my business.
I've also been asked "do you know what you have" several times by people in the industry that have came over to see her. I just think she's cool! kinda looks like Willie Nelson would roll out of her in a ball of smoke lol.

Front Carefree Paramount patio awning came out crooked this summer.  I was able to stow it with a flat bar forcing it into place and unplugged the control to avoid accidently extending it.  I found an awning arm pin that had backed out most of the way, the allen retainer screw was loose.  After getting the pin in place the awning still came out crooked.  Lubricating the left hand 7' spring arm outer joint cured the problem.  See Service Manual page 30, item 24, Lead Rail Connector.

We purchased this coach (our 3rd Newell) last year to use for a cross country trip this past summer. 
We basically zeroed out the coach before our trip,new tires made in ?? airbags,brakes,wheel bearings and seals, shocks etc.
Coach went the best alignment shop in America Josams in Orlando where had a complete suspension inspection and 3 axle alignment. 
We serviced the generator along with the aquahot and both run perfectly well
New chassis batteries along with solar and lithium battery bank.
All led lights both interior and exterior along with custom tail light assemblies. 
Our summer trip was around 5,000 miles and the coach averaged 7.6 mpg including generator run time.
This a well taken care of motor coach ready for it's next trip .
