                    Hello everyone I own a 1969 25' Newell with 80,000 miles that is un-molested and looks like it came from the factory. I am the second owner. The interior is a Time Machine, CB radio, small TV, oven never even used or fridge. Carpets, seats, vinyl soft as the day they were put in it. 
The exterior we have had removed all the lights and powder coated the bumpers, polished her up and are updating the painted areas. The only thing original I don't have is the generator, which Newell said they actually have. We are going thru the engine to freshen it up. Just wondering if anyone else has on this old? One of the old timers at Newell told me it was the 17th one of 22 made in '69 according to the data plate info I gave him. It used to live not far from Newell HQ in OK. Its here in Memphis now at my business.
I've also been asked "do you know what you have" several times by people in the industry that have came over to see her. I just think she's cool! kinda looks like Willie Nelson would roll out of her in a ball of smoke lol.

Front Carefree Paramount patio awning came out crooked this summer.  I was able to stow it with a flat bar forcing it into place and unplugged the control to avoid accidently extending it.  I found an awning arm pin that had backed out most of the way, the allen retainer screw was loose.  After getting the pin in place the awning still came out crooked.  Lubricating the left hand 7' spring arm outer joint cured the problem.  See Service Manual page 30, item 24, Lead Rail Connector.

Coach 430 is a 1996 45ft no slide mid entry hump back.
Powered by a Detroit series 60 coupled to a Allison HD4060 6 speed automatic transmission. 
82,000 miles
We purchased this coach (our 3rd Newell) last year to use for a cross country trip this past summer. 
We basically zeroed out the coach before our trip,new tires made in ?? airbags,brakes,wheel bearings and seals, shocks etc.
Coach went the best alignment shop in America Josams in Orlando where had a complete suspension inspection and 3 axle alignment. 
We serviced the generator along with the aquahot and both run perfectly well
New chassis batteries along with solar and lithium battery bank.
All led lights both interior and exterior along with custom tail light assemblies. 
Our summer trip was around 5,000 miles and the coach averaged 7.6 mpg including generator run time.
This a well taken care of motor coach ready for it's next trip .
We do have a significant amount of service and maintenance records so you will see a clear picture of what has been done and how it was taken care of
Located in DeLand Florida 
Close to the Sanford international airport making it easy for you to come check it out
Cash or wire transfer only
54,900

Where's the best place to locate the outside temperature sensor?  The Dakota Digital readout is above the pilot seat and the sensor is currently on the roof inside of a covered vent.   I need to replace the sensor.  Normally I put them in front but the generator warms that area up.

Question here for everyone. Have you ever changed the crankcase breather filter on your CAT engines? I think CAT only had that filter on the ACERT engines. The reason I ask is that it can get clogged and thereby increase the crankcase pressure. If the pressure gets too high it can pop the oil filler cap. 

I am replacing my cap, because its broken. At the same time I'm doing the crankcase breather filter. You can't take it out the top of the filter housing because it is just under the bathroom floor. You have to take the entire housing off to get the filter out. 

A CAT technician, when asked about this filter, said that the filter us a service item that gets changed with every oil service. Mine looks to have never been changed. We'll see when I get it off.

I bought all 8 bags from this seller in Europe. Total in todays dollars was $790.00 including shipping.  They communicated extremely well throughout the process.  I bought them a year ago and will be installing soon.  The shipping did take a couple of weeks.  Not sure what the tarrif effect will be on the price.

I found the front (living room) AquaHot fan/radiator behind (towards the center of the coach) the front A/C unit (SCS Basement) on the passenger side of the coach.  The wiring plug was not plugged in and not sure what is wrong with it.  I do not have the unit connected since I have been mostly focused on converting the 12-volt to 24-volt thermostat. How do I remove the unit and check the fan? I don’t want to tear it up removing it… I can put 12-volts to it and see if it will run…
