Super strange question but I had a tire losing some air and when the guys fixed it they told me the brakes were super hot and dragging. So I safely went down the the block to a big rig repair shop and asked if they could check it out after speaking with newell. They checked everything adjusted the shackles and greased the front suspension. All great but I have this strange fear now and bought a temp gun. After driving around the highway and city I stop test the temps and the fronts are around 240-300 depending on the type of driving and rears are 114-140. Am I just freaking my self out because its a new to me rv or is there something I need to seriously  have checked. 1980 newell

Well guys My family and I have purchased a 1980 38 foot coach and we are in love. We bought it from a wonderful couple that took care of her for a long time and now its time for use to create our memories with her. This is our first rv ownership but she was taken care of so well that there shouldn't be any major issues. Our plan is for next year road trip from Oklahoma all the way to Alaska. Also would love to say thank you all for recent replies on my other postings (still learning forums) so my apologies for not relying.

The topic says it all.

I asked Morgan at Newell about them... he was noncommittal.

Anyone have a source? I may just have to 3D print on or find something cool and have them made up.

Suggestions?

I'd say about 75% of my bay doors do not latch correctly on the first try.  What I end up doing is having to play around with a little toggle on the latch to get it in just the right spot and then shut it again.  Picking up some Lithium Grease spray in hopes that they are just poorly lubricated, but wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue and if there is anything else I need to be looking for.  Just drives me nuts every time I close a door.

a friend called with a 2001 with a problem that with the coach parked and key off and hwh leveling system is off that the rear drivers side would drop all the way in less than an hour.  

i went to his place and had him air it up.  

when he turned the engine off,  there was a loud air noise.   we checked the drivers side rear ride height valve and it was escaping air out the bottom port.  

that to me meant the drivers side rear travel solenoid was leaking.   i checked it and was not energized (put a screwdriver on the end of the nut holding the coil on and it was not magnetized....and with the key off it should not be)

we drained the air out of the system and as much of the airbag using the all down on the hwh panel.  

took the drivers side travel rear valve out of the six pack manifold and i took the valve apart.  

the buna seal on the center of the plunger that shuts the valve off was below the flush part of the stainless plunger, causing the valve to not seat properly and leak air through.  i replaced the plunger and spring and we put it back in the six pack, aired it up and now the ride height valve was not escaping air when the key was off.

We are currently working on a 1987 Newell Coach rebuild and are having the hardest time trying to locate the latches for the generator doors as well as the door handle.  I am wondering if there is a way to locate these at all or if there is a solid looking alternate to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im looking to sell my newell its a 40' with 153xxx miles 6v92ta Detroit engine, 5 speed Alison, 12.5kw generator 14xx hrs, 3 ac units, 2 water heaters, tires are 3 years old, etc. The coach is in very good shape inside and out but has been sitting for 3 years due to me moving across country for a new job and i don't have the time for it anymore. it does need a few items battery's and such that where stolen out of it. Asking 30k Text or call Dann 417-496-4337

does anyone know how to do it ? my unit is a 2004 45ft ,i know the slide open and close ,but there was a ceeling fire and some of the wiring above the stove are melted . i prefer not powering anything in the house until all electricity is properly re done . the bus part run and drive to perfection air is functional . someone here that has given me great advice mention i need 110 power and air ,but hooking the 110 is not something i want to do now ,i am sure there is a way to un lock and do this manually ?

We need help sourcing Brake Drum shoes for a Dana IFS63 front end. 

They are 15 1/2 X 7 shoes which is a very odd size.  If we can't find the brake shoes then at least the liners would be helpful.  We found the brake shoe metal only on Find It Parts but they weren't lined.   

I have attached the Dana parts list.

Anyone who has experience on this would be helpful.

Thanks

I need to do a rear brake job and was wondering if anyone knows the part numbers for the rear drums and shoes. It is a 1994 38 ft. No tag axle.  Thanks, Paul
