I bought #721 a couple months ago and then Had a charge air cooler fail, tank cracked at welds. I see there is a lot of info on them failing so I thought I would share this, I had a couple company's quote new one but they were 6 weeks out. I called Atlas and they said three weeks out and I got it in two, the new one is built much better than original and the tanks seem to be built out square tubbing with a extra layer of aluminum welded on the ends.
While doing this I'm having Rad rebuilt, replacing turbo, replacing flex pipe and all hoses.

I am finally getting around to troubleshooting the Microphor issues in the rear bath. Is there an easy way to shut off the air to the rear toilet??

Thanks!

I have 6 brand new never hooked up Lifeline 8D batteries that we ordered, waited on and now no longer need. If anyone has any interest in buying them please pm me. 

Thank you

Hello All, Josh Decker here. I am the care taker for a 2009 Newell owned by Jeg Coughlin, mainly known for his NHRA drag racing success. I’m here to learn anything and everything I can about these complicated paradise on wheels. I’m willing to help just as much as I’m willing to learn. Thanks for welcoming me here.

We have found a '97 single slide for sale.  The vin # is unknown at this point as I have not contacted the owner.  In additional to the mechanical history, what more in depth questions should be asked prior to buying plan tickets to see it in person?  Looking for items that would need to be addressed if the owner has not already done so for a 1997 Newell.

We currently own a Prevost conversion. Are looking at several 2003-07 Newells. Is there anything I should look for or shy away from in Newells of that vintage? How do these years compare w/ new Newells?  Thanks for your thoughts.

We were refused entry on to the Ohio Turnpike yesterday heading westbound  near Youngstown Ohio. The toll booth operator told us that we were 27 thousand lbs, and our enclosed trailer was 11 thousand lbs, and we need to u-turn and head back to Pennsylvania. In the meantime , 80 thousand lb semis were going through with no issues. After explaining that we were not nimble enough to cross in front of five toll booth lanes of traffic and reverse course, she said that if I went on the turnpike, the State Troopers would come after us.  We sat in front of the toll booth for what seemed like an eternity, but was actually about 5 minutes. There was now a major traffic jam behind us. Finally management came to her booth, told her about rvs, and our receipt was printed and we went on our way. Today, we had the same issue. This time it was an unmanned tool booth, that instead of giving  us a receipt, flashed "OVERWEIGHT" on the payment screen. In a minute or so, I belive a human intervened from a remote location, and our receipt was printed. Monday we will be back on the road again, and we will see how our luck holds out entering the same  turnpike from Shipshewana Indiana.

Anyone else had such an issue? Could it be that the paint job on "Classic" Newells makes them difficult for toll booth operators to identify them as rvs ?

We spied a 90's Newell eastbound on the Ohio Turnpike, subdued colors, Greys or blues ? Noon Friday 10/2 /2021 . I didn't see much. My eagle eyed navigator saw it.
North of Pittsburg , near Youngstown.

Spotted on I-5 northbound around 10:45 am 10-2-21 between Vancouver and Olympia

   

Anyone know who this is?

I think we spotted Clarke and Elaine in their beautiful classic going up 101 on the Hood Canal today!
