lHi gurus - we have taken possession of coach 646 and are loving the experience so far. This board has been both helpful and inspirational in our adventure from Phoenix to the east coast.

My question (actually the Boss' question) - how can we tell what material the floors and countertops are made from? It looks like marble floor, but it is? It looks like Corian countertops, but is it? Is this something we can contact Newell about or is there fairly standard floors and counters installed in every Newell, even though they are all custom?

We are trying to restore them to like new, but we need to know what we are working with.

Thanks very much in advance,

Dave and Tammy

I searched the term relay and read through 11 pages of post to see if this was covered. I could not find it. As a lot of you are aware the coach i bought had been broken into and as much of the wiring they could get their hands on had been stolen. I have completely rewired the underside of the coach and all systems work as far as i can tell. Only issue i found after rebuilding the underside power panel is I don't know what this relay and circuit breaker is for.  Marked in picture with white arrows.

I’m trying to find Info on coach number 639 (The coach I’m in the process of buying) If I enter 639 in the search bar I get a gazillion hits!  It seems like it’s hitting on any 6  3  or 9.  I tried using “639” and that does not work either??? Any help would be great!!! 
Thx Gregg

Has anyone tried to update their coach bay doors using linear actuators instead of the gas struts? I was thinking, if if replaced the struts with linear actuators and then drilled a hole for a push button open close, that would be pretty cool. 
push a button on the door you want to open and it opens. Push the button again and it closes. I could take the power from the power locks and run the actuators is what i was thinking.
Thoughts?

My front roller shade is giving me fits again and I’m running out of wire real estate on the motor end.  Figured I could use a tiny butt splice connector but everything I have is way too big as these wires on that motor are tiny.  Any suggestions on the best way to add some wire?

Working on the last air leak on the front of the coach and need some help identifying this part. It has a relief at the bottom leaking a slight amount of air.

dave and tammy have been here this week and we tinkered with a few things on his 03 they just bought.  this morning as they were getting ready to pull out of my shop we couldnt get the rear end to go to ride height.  it just wouldnt go up.  we tried manually raising it and nothing.  i tested the rear six pack solenoids and they were energized as they should have been.  

i was at the hwh control panel and dave was outside and he mentioned that he didnt think the tag had as much pressure on it as the drive.  AH HA....immediately i thought of the tag switch on the dash.  it had been bumped and the 3 way rocker switch was on and not in the middle.  so the tag was releasing air.  and nothing you can do will raise the rear up then.  we had alot of noise in the shop so didnt hear anything.  

moved the switch to the off center position and wallah.....the rear raised up

While searching for air leaks I found that my 120V compressor is hot to the touch. I understand it may get warm if running frequently, but it runs about once every half hour and I have found the leaks and in the process of fixing them. The top of the manifold is just over 120 and the housing near the coils is over 200 consistently.

I do hear a humming prior to the pump coming on for a few seconds and an occasional humming and the compressor not coming on. I did order a new capacitor thinking maybe it may be the cause. For $12 its worth a shot.

Any one have any ideas or experience with this? These pumps are not cheap.

I called Newell last week and requested any info they had on my coach. To be honest i was hoping more for maintenance records. Here is what they sent me. I got the original build sheet and a floorplan blueprint that never ever made it to this coach. One of the change orders however changes the coach number from 436 to 435, so I'm guessing this blueprint is for the first Newell with slide outs. Its really the only way i can see having 6 twin beds in a coach.

Does anyone know the part number for this air dryer (2002 Coach #612). It appears the housing has some leaks on the internal seals and leaks air out slowly. I plan on replacing the assembly and filter.

Any help would be appreciated.
