Backed onto my paver pad that is on an incline. one tire started spinning and pavers were dug up! drive wheels now sitting on fairly soft roadbase. any ideas what to put under/in front of drive tires?  what precautions if I attach a tow rope to the front-ie where ?
Thanks

Lost a rear hubcap on the last trip out, anyone know where we can source these. 
   

Anyone have any of the cabinet hinges laying around that you want to part with, if not does anyone know where i can source them
   

I have a bad pressure prevention valve, PPV, which is not allowing my coach to air up so it can't be driven. It's currently stored at an outdoor RV facility in Ft Pierce FL
Local RV shops aren't equipped to do it and suggest a heavy truck mobile repair shop. Any suggestions?

Soon as I get the rear slide board back from HWH we are putting it on the market for sale or trade. Trades for sports cars, Class B rv, cadillac escalade, RV lot south or north. If I told you the amount of money invested without adding in over 2 plus years of labor you wouldn't believe me and we have come to realisation we just need to move on. I will start with the most important parts of its transformation, she has good bones paint is presentable but not by any means perfect, if you buy a Newell that looks good and has not been taken care of you will spend a few years and many 10s of thousands getting it in the shape this one is in. $120k or best offer.

3.5 tons of mini split and will freeze you out or burn you up your choice very quietly wifi controlled

macerator toilet, macerator dump
new inverter refrigerator

new washer dryer combo old unit had plug caught fire!

We are leaving the end of October and it will sit till next spring but truly interested parties I will come home for inspection.

Was wondering if anyone has any information on this coach available at MOT.

Thank you!

Hello all,

Newly acquired 1971 gas pusher

391FT, Allison transmission 

Anyone know where the VIN plate is located?  

Any idea if a wiring schematics exist?

It had an engine bay fire so it is a big work in progress.

I have been replacing parts and rewiring as I go. 

 Swapped starter, new carb, electric fuel pump, new coil and points, new plugs.  dual Flowmaster exhaust 

My main concern (and lack of understanding)

There is an air brake controller that was connected to the inlet of the air compressor.  It's wiring is burnt up.  Do I need that component?  Or will just a filter suffice? If so does anyone have a photo of the wiring ?


Any advice?

Tips?

I have the transmission shifting on a short rod coming through the floor in back as the cam system is seized currently.

Runs and drives on flat ground in storage yard.   I haven't had the gall to take it for a rip yet.

I'm going to want to do the brakes soon so I am wondering about axel ID (hx-70?)and associated parts suppliers?  

What should i replace/inspect?

Any modifications recommemded?

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi guys - does anyone know if/where replacement bathroom roof vents or parts for vents can be obtained? 

We have one that opens but no fan, the other does not open (handle just spins freely) but fan works. I'm hoping they come apart and can be repaired but not holding my breath.

Hello, 
 It's been quite a few years since I was on here.
We're planning on bringing our 77 Newell to Arizona this fall to store it for the winter. We plan on flying down periodically from Alberta and touring.
 Just looking for recommendations, on where to visit as well as a good place for storage while we're gone.
 I prefer a covered secure facility if possible.

Thank you!!
Keith

Dear Newell friends.
I need to replace the two windscreens on our Newell (1970)
I am  looking for the original rubber to insert the windshields (the width of the rubber is 1 inch ) Since I live in the Netherlands, these are not available here, and perhaps one of you knows where I could get them (see photo).
I would be very grateful to you for your help.
Greetzzzz from the Netherlands
