Morning Gurus,

Decided that hanging out in Phoenix waiting on Dr's appointments was not a great use of my time and Newell, so I headed out yesterday to Monument Valley KOA Journey to try my luck and see if it was a good time to visit. The trip from Phoenix took about 6 hours and the roads were clear and only light traffic. We pulled into the KOA and found only 4 other visitors..... YES, Score, Happy Dance. 

The park in simple and clean with not many extras but the views are excellent. Hopefully the various parts of the park will also be so empty. Last night the temperatures went down into the 20's so if you come make sure you can deal with the cold. A heated water hose is important. The night sky was clear and had some excellent star viewing.

Here are some pictures from yesterday evening.

Hoping your Christmas and New Years are healthy and happy.

My Best to all,

Mike

Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, has anyone on this forum converted their air wipers to electric?

My goal is to install a smart steering wheel like modern cars. Move control for the wipers/washers, cruise, headlights, radio, etc. to the steering wheel and off the dash.

I found a website, http://www.busrvparts.com/Bus-Elect_Wipers.htm, that lets me know that it can be done for a price. They don't have one specifically for a classic Newell, but there is definitely one that can be modified.

I have this from my Foretravel, usb connection.  It has the round plug to connect to a Foretravel but would be easy to connect the wires to a Newell.  3 years old.
Asking $270.00 shipped to continental USA.
Here's the plug:

    As we continue to get to know our newly adopted coach we realize more each day how much learning we still have ahead! We have been working lately on the vast heating systems and trying to understand what thermostat controls what, etc. Thankfully we have all of the original blueprints and wiring schematics, but I thought perhaps someone would know this answer off the top of their head. 
Recently we have been hearing a fan coming on in the front passenger ceiling above the soffit. The thermostat in that front area has been off both times. Fran checked it out this afternoon and it seems to be drawing air rather than blowing. It comes on and shuts off by itself.  What is this and what is controlling it?

Hello.
 
I am hoping to locate a good resource (or resources) for Duo-Therm furnace parts.
I have 3 Duo-Therm propane furnaces in my coach – Model # 90020-813 
 
I know I can get circuit boards through Dinosaur electronics.
 
Does anyone know where I can locate a blower motor for these furnaces?
The blower motor is a Duo-Therm 3-18030
 
Are there any good resources for the sail switch and limit switch as well?
 
Thanks.

Hello!  I just registered for the forum.  I'm a big fan of Newell coaches, and have been "window shopping" for a quality coach for a couple of years.  Primarily focused on figuring out what preferences I might desire when the time comes to purchase.

I live somewhat near the Newell Coach factory (an hour or so away in Arkansas), and occasionally wander over there to take a look at what used coaches they have "on the lot".  

When time time comes (in the next couple of years or so), I plan to become a semi-retired consultant, and spend time exploring North America.  Hopefully, in a Newell Coach.  It seems that the newer coaches are more focused on luxury -- I'd like to consider myself as more interested in practicality, functionality and reliability.  

I look forward to reading the forums, and perhaps occasionally engaging by asking questions, or seeking advice as the time comes closer to consider purchasing.

Moe

Hello Gurus, I have a 20 KW Kohler Gen on my 98 Newell.  The engine is YANMAR  4TN84TE-RKRV.  I  am looking for information on the hose that goes from the Turbo back to the manifold.  I believe it is called the intercooler hose.  Mine is severely dry rotted , and torn.  Thanks in advance for any help finding part number or point of purchase for this.

So while going through the air leak detection process, in addition to the diff lock solenoid I found last week. I have found several line under the dash at the brake pedal manifold/valve body that are leaking.

I am attaching a photo, if someone could tell me how many fittings total, what size to buy and what tubing diameter (1/4" for the white ones and 1/2" for the black ones??) I will refit the entire assembly. They seem to be leaking from around the plastic locking collars so it may just be bad/hard tubing... but I may as well use better fitting if I am already there!

Thanks in advance!
