Good evening  Everyone! I'm still looking for a Newell pre 2000. My budget is the 100k range. I've made offers on 2 and both sellers backed out. One sold to another person offering more money and the other decided to keep it (#410). If you know of anyone looking to actually sell or available please keep me know. TIA

Happy Holidays!!

Hey All,
  I was looking at my Aquahot fuel filter assembly and am a bit confused. It has a couple of protrusions at the bottom,. One appears to be the drain screw.. Not sure what the other is, maybe the spou it drains from?

But on the top of the housing is another plastic screw/wheel... is this a bleed device?

How does this one work?

Thanks!

I would like to replace my landing lights and am wondering if I can replace only the bulbs (and how the heck do you get them out of the rubber casing?) or do I just buy new ones?  Anyone with a model number or source for buying these?

These are the results of an informal poll of Newell owners with one year of more of ownership under their belts. It is not scientific, nor does it encompass every aspect of owning a used Newell. It was intended to provide a small measure of the aggregate opinions of real life expectations when it comes to owning and maintaing a used Newell. I am not a pollster, not statistician, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night. At the time of this summary, there were 44 responders to the poll. I typed up the summary so that the first year owners who did not participate and prospective owners could view the results. 

The first question was relative to the amount of work one expected to do on the coach as opposed to the reality. It's not quantifiable in terms of hours or dollars. The question is more about expectation. 

4% said they worked on the Newell less than expected
48 % said about what they expected
27% said more than they expected
7 % said a lot more than they expected

The second question is more quantifiable, as it defines actual cost of maintenance and upkeep

3 % spend less than 5K annually
43% spend 5 to 10K annually
20% spend 10 to 15K annually
3 % spend above 15 K annually

The third question asked if the owners had issues obtaining coach work performed outside of Miami, OK

36% said no problem finding a shop they were happy with
11% said they had mixed results
11% said they had poor results
4% had a horror story
40% said they do their own work

The fourth question was targeted to confirm or dispel some current "youtube" wisdom on Newell ownership

46% said that a Newell required less long term care due to it's original build quality
33% said that a Newell requires about the same level of maintenance I would expect from another motorhome of the same age
21% said a Newell requires more repair and maintenance because of it's complexity and redundant systems. 

The fifith question was which of these characteristics make for a happy Newell owner. This was multiple choice. You might also infer that the low percentage answers give some insight into an unhappy owner. 

20% said sees ownership as a hobby
20% said sees problems as an opportunity to learn
17% said the owner has owned boats, planes, or old cars
16% said the owner was technically employed
9 % said the owner wants a high quality low problem ownership experience
9% said wants to buy the last RV first Has had a dream of hitting the road, and now is the time to buy an RV and do it
5% said sees the coach as another toy
4 % said the Newell was to fulfill a dream of retiring, living fulltime, and hitting the road right away
1% said wants to full time immediately
0 % said sees RV problems as a headache

And the last question was probably redundant, but the question was to describe an unhappy owner. And I concede that my use of double negative meanings in conjunction with the algorithm that the poll uses to tally and average votes only leads to gibberish in the results. My bad, and I am sorry about phrasing the responses the way I did. Live and Learn, therefore I am not posting the results. Call me a conspririsist if you will .


Thank you to those that responded. I hope that a bit of this info will help prospective buyers make informed decisions in their purchase process. 

Feel free to add any commentary you think might be helpful to those considering a Newell purchase.

Currently not a Newell owner but who knows looking forward. I do own a Country Coach and after searching on the net came across an article regarding rebuilding of the HWH air suspension system. I recently have rebuilt all my solenoids but without replacing the seal on the plunger as I was unable to find a source willing to sell the "button seal" or the plunger assembly.

I'm retired and live in the Phoenix area and look forward to reading the many articles on the forum that share similar systems to my coach.

I'm hoping to be able to purchase the kits that were being sold via the forum.

All the best for the festive season to all.

New to the Coach World. Just purchased a perfect 77 MCI Custom Coach

Looking to purchase a Newell coach in January of 2022.  Prefer to buy from an original owner and/or private seller.

If anyone knows one that is for sale please have them call me (352) 398-7091. I am located in Houston Texas.

Thank you

I'm trying to find out what air fitting will connect my home air compressor to the air input in the engine bay. I was at Newell in Miami recently and they didn't know off hand. I know there are Type M, A, V (maybe more). I have all these and none will fit. Anyone know what flavor Newell uses?

Does anyone tow a 4x4 Ram 2500 diesel? Would this be killing fuel mileage towing a 8000lb truck? It is the only 4down toad besides my wife's Smart car that has room for more than two people.

Some idiot fried my inverter, I am soooo p.o'd at the shop. Long story and Ill get to that later but I am in need of a Zantrex 3.0 pro sine wave inverter. I just want to plug it all back in and have it work. Any ideas on where to find??  Ive benn searching the net....
