I guess the title says everything… about to start a trip for Christmas and I am not sure if I have to have the engine preheat switch on in order to take advantage of the engine heating the aqua hot?

In our 2006 Newell the audio and video systems are a bit outdated, I was wondering what others have done to update things since the wiring and connections look like a complete nightmare. We want to install our Starlink which isn’t an issue except it won’t connect to the tv’s. I can put in a fire stick with a composite to hdmi converter but that just seems like I’m putting a small bandage on a bigger issue. Any ideas or update help would be appreciated.

   

The bearings on the pantograph arms are getting loose. I found new replacements at American Bus and accessories. The part number shown here is the correct one for 316 which was built in 1993. Be sure to check compatibility. The first ones they sent were the correct part number on the bag with the wrong part in the bag. The quickly sent me the correct part after I called.

Took our coach 512 into the truck shop we have used for years be inspected, as we have an 11 month trip starting in January.   They called because it needed brakes and routers.  The mechanic called Newell and ordered the parts. A quick phone call to Richard and a search here gave the mechanic everything he needed to get the job done.  Next time I may try this at home, but it is too cold and icy for me to attempt it before this trip.  Thank you Richard for posting detailed notes.

Thank you!

I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah this December 15 2025.

This is another of my DIY projects - bought a blow up booth so I didn't paint my neighbors house - rough job but turned out ok at the 25 ft distance 
Sorry I've not kept up with this site - it's been a wirlwind year.

I'm not completely satisfied and will be touching it up at our Covert Michigan property this summer. Right now we're enjoyng the weather in our Sand Springs Oklahoma home. And I have a donor engine and transmission vehicle in my driveway. 98 Monaco Windsor - 8.3 mechanical Cummins and a Allison World 6 speed automatic that I'm going to put into my Newell this spring. It's going to be a pain and fun also. I'm a Master Auto Tech and an Engineer but this is by far the biggest thing I've ever tried. Fun getting a new to me A-frame - 10ton chain fall and a beast of an engine crane to swap things around. For those that have followed my storied Newell projects I had an 8.3 Cummins ISC I had to sell because of our move to Oklahoma, even though that was painfull loosing the money I couldn't be happiers putting in the 300hp engine with under 60,000 miles. Our Michigan property is new for us this year also. Close to the big lake with 1 hour access to our older daughters house in GR and 1 hour from South Bend for old friends and family. Another huge project but I couldn't be happier to take it on. Especially since Marcia and I are both retired senior citizens with much more time for projects.

Hi Gurus, I have coach 1490, and it has the wastemaster sewer hose and drain system. My question is, is there an extension for this type of hose. Ty

Hope someone has had this issue and can walk me thru it.  both front and rear scs ac system wants to not go into cool mode on tstats.  Let me try and clarify. aquahot electric side switch in the a/c on position. when I turn on either a/c the heat light is all that will come on on the tstats even if I drop the temp to 60 degrees ( usally the symbol will change to the snowflake emblem). I have checked all circuit breakers in back as well as the ones on the left side in the cargo bay and all are good. I attached some pics.  Is there a relay somewhere that might have gone bad ( like when the aquahot is in electric mode and it shuts down the ac units). Problem just arose on this last trip out to california. I can turn the fans on for the ac units  and they work on low or high. If ya need more info let me know  tried to explain best I could.
       

I’m replacing the fuel filter on my series 60, and wondering if there is a way to do it where I do not have to re-prime the injectors???

Does anybody know where I can locate a pin for the engine cover lock on my 2002 couch (639)? I haven’t tried Newell yet, as I was hoping that it might be just a standard GM or Ford item that I could just pick up at Napa or maybe a junk yard.  Anyone ever try to source one?

Newell friends,

I’m Lauren (43) and my husband is Howard (56) we are full-time in our 2008 45’ Newell Coach #1234 with our two terriers, Luna and Starz! Many of you know this coach from the previous, previous owner Ben “Nebster”, that installed roof-top solar and extensive battery system back in 2018ish. We starting RVing back in 2015 and have had serval RVs since then, Winnebago, airstream, sprinter van and a storyteller GXV Hilt. My husband has some health issues that we are working through and we weren’t ready to give up the RV lifestyle so we went with a pre-DEF Newell for comfortability and quality craftsmanship. Hope to see some of you guys down the road, although we will be in the Dallas / Fort Worth area for an extended period of time in 2026 since I just lost my father and health reasons. We’ve learned a lot so far and look forward to learning even more from the group. I’m sure we will have lots of questions!

Cheers,
