I believe I have the Prevost style chrome top hat covers on the drive/tag axles.  We lost one on our last trip - I had loosened it to check the oil and must have not gotten it tightened back up (I hate those little hex bolts!).  Anyone have a good source for them or a better replacement that does not require the lug nut to be removed to install?

We were headed north in 419 and saw what looked like a mid to late nineties headed south. Looked like metallic gold with a blue ribbon like swoosh. Maybe a Jeep toad.  That’s all the detail I could manage at I85 speeds outside Atlanta.

Thanks to everyone who helped out from sourcing the proper bags, to wrenches needed, to tips and tricks to make the process flow smoothly.  All in all was a pretty painless process when you factor all of that help.  

Only thing that didn't go as planned was the nice little tire dolly I ordered made it to St. Louis and instead of getting on the delivery truck it made a trip to California instead, so I had to wrangle a few tires, but they were not too bad.  One thing I did want to clarify from earlier posts is that with the new steer axle bags that have a smaller inlet the correct adapter was in fact:

3/4 Male JIC to 1/4 male NPT Straight.  One Hydraulics had them for around $25.

We recently made the decision to sell our California home and travel for a year or two..  We had been looking at the Newmar Essex coach, but that was before we discovered Newell.  We stumbled upon a YouTube video of the Newell factory and their build process.  What an amazing coach. Now the search criteria had been changed and the budget has been increased a bit.    We are even more excited than we were before to be Newell owners.  Thanks for adding us to the community.

Just bought a 1991 266. Upgrading from a 1996 diesel Gulfstream that I bought 4 months ago, talk about an upgrade WOW, VW bug to Rolls-Royce.

It appears that my 1998 did not include a specific location for storing the sewer hose. 

As I got the coach it was just in a plastic tote in one of bays. 


Where do you keep your hoses?

Here is the deal. The throttle sticks open on my engine DD 8V92 Silver 475 hp). Started out intermittently but now it does it consistently. I first thought it was the cable from the air cylinder to the throttle lever. In fact it was sticky so I replaced it. Next my beautiful assistant operated the throttle pedal while i observed the engine with it not running. The lever operated full on to full off every time. Then I started the engine. When the throttle pedal was depressed the engine went to full rpm and would not return to idle when the pedal was released. I went back to the engine and the cable had released the throttle lever but the lever had not returned to idle. I easily returned it to idle manually. Is perhaps there a spring missing that pulls the throttle back? I am perplexed. I hope it is not a failing governor or the like. I am considering installing a spring return for the throttle. Cant drive it this way. Too much of a thrill!

A couple of days ago, preparing to leave campsite, the engine does not fire. It spins over just fine, just no fire. No hint of fire. Dead flat, like a pancake. This will induce anxiety in bridal unit in case you are wondering. 

Since the engine would turn over. I immediately ruled out key switch, and starter solenoids. There was a wee bit of wit of white unburned diesel wisp at the exhaust, so I thought it’s not fuel related. Another clue that it was probably a DDEC issue is that neither the ProDriver or VMSPc are showing any codes. 

I checked the following at the rear electrical panel. 12V at the ignition “on” terminal. 12Vdc at both the DDEC fuses. 

At this point I am puzzled, and a bit rattled. I am about to disconnect the DDEC and clean the connectors with carb spray. But first, I look in the passenger footwell for a blown fuse. All fuses are good, but I do see in the upper right hand corner a Bosch cube relay labeled DDEC. Swapped out the DDEC one for another one used for the high beam headlights. 

Vrrrrrrmmmmmmm!  Bride is happy, made check out time by one minute.

If you decide to lay in a store of those relays, look carefully. Some are single acting, and some are double acting. Stock both.

I have coach 1259, a 2009.  Does the air door exterior push button switch removal/replacement require any special tools?  Does it just pop out?  I ordered a new button from Newell.  Thanks in advance.

1987 Classic (Fixer-Upper)


Custom built by Newell, this 40' diesel pusher sold originally for $336,000. We are the coach's third owner, having purchased and imported it into Canada from Texas in 2006. We stripped the entire interior of all furnishings and fixtures, cabinets and flooring, and repainted the Dusty Rose (pink) walls and sconces to a soothing off-white. Structural and functional refit included conversion of the two person dinette to a four-seater, a rebuild of the mid-entry steps and stairwell cover, and the rounded peninsula kitchen countertop and associated cupboards (upper and lower) were rebuilt with more storage and function in mind. Corian countertops replaced the mid-eighties-rage of Arborite in both the kitchen and bathroom.


This coach's unique attributes include a 3" raised roof, front to back, the impact which, in equivalent motor-home terms, is akin to adding a foot to ceiling heights within your home. Another noteworthy unique feature is the full-skin body, a very rare option from the day, that allowed the full-body paint scheme with no mid-coach break.
