Hey Gurus,

I have a problem that REALLY STINKS. A crack in the black tank. I would like to do a permanent fix, not a flex seal approach. Does anyone know what plastic was used for 2009 era black tanks? I am also open to experienced perpectives on welding vs solvent glues. Attached is a pic with three arrows showing three streams running out of the crack. The crack is along the passenger side rear aspect of the wastemaster tunnel. I swear you can't smell this just by looking.
Regards,
Bob
   

I wanted to troubleshoot a ride height issue I have been having with "new to me" coach #639. The left rear of the coach only cames to ride height occassionally.  Since my muffler has seen better days (yet another job) I decided shop air might be a better option rather than upsetting my neighbors running the engine for air.  There are two air chucks in the right side engine bay.  The front one appears to be connect to a regulator, but has no air at all.  The rear one had pressure then the engine was running so I thought it was the correct place to connect shop air.  Prior to connecting the air line I ran the coach enginge unitl to brake and source tanks read 120 psi.  Then, prior to connecting the shop air I connected a pressure gauge to the rear chuck and verified there was 120 psi.  Since there was, I was unconcerned about connecting shop air.  I set the shop air regulator to 120 psi, verified it with the same pressure gauge and connected it up.  I made my way around to the left rear axle and heard and new sound.... a large air leak coming from the slide seal directly above the wheel well.  Did I pop the seal? 
  
I disconnected the air and the system completely bled down withen an few minutes.  I pinned the door closed with a stick, walked into my house and made a stiff drink.  

Any ideas?

I have (6) 8D lead acid batteries that I have removed from the Newell. My Newell has (8) total, (6) for the house and (2) for starting. I am keeping the starting batteries but I changed the house over to lithium.

The batteries are Napa Commercial part #7271FT. (4) dated 9/22, (1) dated 11/22 and (1) dated 3/23. As far as I know they were all purchased at the same time but my guess is they had to dig around to find (8) 8D batteries.

I am located in Tampa, Florida, local pickup only as shipping is just not feasible.

$50 each

We are looking into purchasing a Newell. Does anyone know anything about this coach that is for sale?

Any info would be appreciated.

Anyone have some detail on removing cover? I did call Newell and understand there are fasteners aft facing, behind vertical cover in aft bath and some above valve cover. Wondering if someone has a bit more detail

The 1982 Newell Classic owned by Prairieschooner, a member here, was bought a week ago by my sister-in-law.  This coach is one serial number removed from our 1982 Newell Classic.  It was one of two coaches built for brothers with the last name of Law, who lived near Denver, CO.  They were both delivered to the brothers in March of 1982.  Prairie schooner (Steve Ward) found his Newell in Yuma, AZ in 2008 where it had sat for a number of years after the death of its 2nd owner.  I found mine in Palm Desert, CA  in 2008 where its 2nd owner, Fred Hornbacker, kept it stored when not in use.  Now, after all these years the 2 sister coaches have been reunited....



....the 1982 Newell Classic formally owned by Steve Ward in the foreground, and our 1982 Newell Classic in the background.

Are there any notable service issues with the 2007 - 2010 years or important items to update or replace based on a 15 year old coach. Such as Shocks/Airbags/Slide Seals/Air Fittings..ect.. I'm new to the forum but I'll look to see what tools should be with the coach. Any recommendations for inspection services that understand the Newell brand..

 And are the electronics serviceable or upgradable? 

We really like the interior volume of the Newell's vs some of the other coaches we have looked at.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, 
 We recently came accross a 74 coach and fell in love with her, although a little tattered and torn she is absolutely gorgeous and we are excited to get her cleaned up and on the road. Unfortunately the  previous owner does not have the title, she had owned the coach for many years while traveling the cuntry durring retirement and claims that she had never had a title and that titles wer not issued on the older Newells, is this true and if so how do we go about registering our coach.


Thanks, any info would be much appreciated!

On my last trip I noticed that diesel was not firing.  Had recently replaced the nozzle as I had not been running it often enough in the off season.  It worked fine prior to nozzle and after.  When I flip the switch the unit comes on but then does not fire.  After a little trouble shooting with Rudy he thought was a failed brain, but that was not it.  I'm assuming now that we know it's not the brain that the next thing to check would be that the igniter firing?

If yes, how does one go about testing that?
