A great day for Creslie, I was fortunate to be part of his last day at Newell because of a technical issue.  A real loss of information for the Newell gang, he has been a Newell Legend and will be missed!

Have a wonderful life Creslie!  Bon Voyage!

I have nothing to do with this just came across it on fakebook marketplace. Seems like a lot of parts here for not that much money.

After six wonderful years of adventure, it is time for me to move on and let this legendary Newell Coach find its next home. This coach has been more than just a vehicle to me—I have traveled extensively in it and called it home for two solid years. It is a reliable, high-end machine that has never let me down on the road.
Has a wheel chair lift for entry and a motor bike lift on the back
THE DRIVE
This coach features the iconic Detroit Diesel 8V92 engine. It runs excellently. I replaced the front tires when I first purchased it, and I would honestly feel comfortable hopping in today and driving it across the country. In fact, I am open to delivering this coach anywhere in the United States for the right buyer.
CONDITION & TRANSPARENCY
As anyone in the Newell community knows, these are incredible machines, but with a classic coach comes the need for ongoing care. I have priced this coach to reflect the work it currently needs:
Rear Tires The rear tires are showing cracks and will need to be replaced soon.
Air Conditioning It has three basement AC units. Two work perfectly; one needs repair or replacement.
Interior The jackknife couch needs replacement to freshen up the living area.
Heating The Primus boiler system has not been operational during my ownership.

Asking Price: $38,500

I am open to honest conversations with serious buyers who appreciate the quality of a Newell

I am considering buying this coach. I am researching what it will take to convert this dinette table to something that would allow more sleeping space for the kids. The table with leaf is really nice but not suitable for my current needs. Any ideas or photos of alternative options? Photo of current configuration attached.

The molding on this entry door is damaged and needs repair. See photos. Any ideas for repair and ways to prevent this from happening again in the future. This is a 1998 swing door. 
I am considering buying this coach and am researching what it will take to get it back up to par.

The generator will not stay running when strter button is released. Solenoit pulls fuel valve open, but closes as soon as starter button is released.
Also the fuel Solenoid is getting very hot when not in use and genertor is not running.
It appears that the previous  owner installed a after market one because the wires do not have a plug on them, but 3 seperate crimped ends. One wire(black)is going to a bolt on the solenoid to ground, one wire (red) is going to blue and yellow wires from the wireing harness, one wire (white) is going to a white wire from the wireing harness.

If i disconect the wires, let it set and cool off, the generator will start and stay running, the solenoid appears to be working as it should. 

Shut the generator down, wait a couple of hours and the solenoid gets hot to the touch and stops holding the fuel valve open.

Hi, I have rebuilt the six pack. installed a separate line from the raise solenoid directly to the T that feeds the drivers rear set of air bags. I engage the solenoid the air bags get hard ( no leaks) but it only raises about a 1/4". If i put a 20 ton air jack under the frame run it while concurrently powering on the lift solenoid it will lift to full height. I don't notice any binding or popping noises. Take the jack out and engage the lowering solenoid and the coach lowers. Any guidance will be appreciated. Thank You. Brion

So again one of the scs units has failed. Tired of fixin it so I think it is time to install a mini split. I have read several posts on the website about ductless, size, mounting, fabricating, single zone, dual zone, etc.
I am trying to get a recommendation on which is the easiest, cost effective replacement. my main concern is the basement ac unit that cools the front of the unit. 

Question. Can i install 1 minisplit to run the entire coach and tie it into the original ductwork ? or is it better to have a wall mounted registers in 2 areas ?  We just want the coach cold everywhere.
Will a 24000 btu cool the entire coach ? We live in the dallas ft worth area and it get hot..
will the unit run off existing wiring and breakers in coach ? 
Any help would be appreciated.   Jack I know you have done a few of these, maybe you can shead some light on it for me
