Hello All:

We are long term motorhome owners and recently sold our last motorhome.  It was a 2009 Country Coach Allure Crane Prairie 45ft with a 500 Cummins.  This motorhome was the perfect size, bath and a half with a king bed etc. but was becoming a maintenance challenge.

Since selling we would like to step up to a Newell and would be looking for a 2006 - 2010 model (P2000i) series.  I do like the big CAT motor with the 12 speed transmission pre def.  I think the bath and half and king bed would be available in this model.  We would also like the center entry door.

Question please:  Does this model have any issue I need to consider?  I know the Newell maintenance team is the best in the business and I expect to spend money on the coach as we go.  I'm looking to see if anyone out there do not think this model is a good choice and why?  If not what should we be looking for instead?

Thanks very much!!

Hello All,
 
I have one AH relay (Dayton 1A486F) that is missing its protective plastic cover. Seems to work OK.. but I'd still like to replace it and carry a spare or two.

Looks like Aquahot is now selling Potter & Brumfield Relays KUP-11D15-12 TE

I found tons of Dayton 1A486 relays, but not the "F"  is there any difference? Any other brands or part numbers known to work?

Thanks!

While running LED RGB strips in the valences, I can across the ceiling board mounted device. It only has one Green/White striped wire connected to it and is made by (or perhaps designed by) Summit Products Corporation.

Anyone have any idea what it is?

I'd like to get work done on my Coach, back at Newell and have not had time. I'm considering going just after the New year (1/10 thru say 1/20). I'm not fond of driving in snow or icy conditions, so with that said, Have any of you traveled thru this area (and south in TX) during that time of the year ?

I'm not in a hurry so I can lay low during a stroke of bad weather for a week or so if needed.

So this is a new to me coach. Generator behaved nicely when I inspected the Coach but now that it’s home, genny refuses to start. It will spin over. Fluids are fine. The solenoid to activate the fuel delivery is not engaging when I manually start it from the generator itself. What would cause this to not pull? I did find an airline that was badly kinked with a possible air leak. I will fix that tomorrow when the push connectors come in. Also the air bags look rather tired and could use a replacement. Any ideas where to source those?
Thanks guys!

    So after a few weeks of being super busy I finally brought home our lovely coach. Went to notary to get paperwork notarized, then off to emissions and finally off to MVD (Third party) and finally home. I notice an air leak at the front compressor behind the grille in front of the passenger side tire. How does that grille come off? And being new, I do not have electrical hookups for this just yet. (Go figure and I am an Electrical Contractor!) Is there something that must be left powered on or should I shut things down for the time being? Weather here is going to be in the 80's for the next few weeks with no humidity.

Greetings! 

I joined the Newell Guru group last spring after deciding to go with a Newell. After 15 years of Newmar ownership (DutchStar, MountainAire, KingAire) I finally saw the light! Not that I didn’t like Newmar. I loved my DutchStar and MtnAire. The KingAire just gave me fits during and after every trip. I couldn’t pull down to the end of my street without something breaking or needing adjustment. After every trip I would have two pages of punch list items - 90% on the house side.

So…we bought Coach 1664 from Newell in May and haven’t looked back. We brought the coach home to Florida then did a two week trip up to North Carolina through the OuterBanks and back. NOT A SINGLE ISSUE!

We are headed to New Hampshire and plan to spend the next three weeks up and down the east coast.

I still have lots of questions as I learn the systems on this Beast and may be posting specific questions after I spend some time bird dogging these:

- Working through learning the Intrepid System
- Typical Audio Video integration/operation challenges (starting with keeping wife happy)
- Trying to get air compressor in engine room working so I can put air in tires
- Storage with only 20amp /110v service (all I have available to me at the moment)

Thanks in advance to all the Gurus for your help!

Safe travels!

Does the 8v92 have to use the Detroit Diesel specific code reader or is there a modern day replacement to read codes off the ECU? I am looking to get a reader for good measure.

I am trying to determine which service is better. Good Sam or CoachNet. GS is $129 a year and they claim unlimited mileage towing and tire repair/replacement. CN is $249 a year and will tow to nearest facility which is useless for those of us with 2 strokers since many shops will not have the know how to work on them. CN has an optional add on for tire coverage.  What do you all recommend?

This pressure regulator on my coach is leaking (a lot). I don't know what it goes to. (Maybe front slide?) It is located on the driver's side in the basement air compartment. Does anyone know what it goes to, AND what pressure it should be set at?

Thank you,
Alan Johnson
