Gurus,
I have found my shower door lock that everybody has been talking about.  I have tried every possible combination to install this thing.....except the right way!  Does anybody have a picture of how this lock used?

Coach 1732, built as a Show Coach, was used to showcase the new SmartRide system. This system gives the driver the ability to raise or lower the suspension easily, to select either Comfort or Sport settings, and to automatically lower the coach as the speed reaches 55 mph.

Once again, Andrew Steele gets to showcase the new system in his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZJeYKF7ueM



Height and SmartDrive status upper right in green. Mode (Comfort or Sport) bottom just left of center.

Gurus,

I have a few extra mounting brackets for Hunter Douglas silhouette blinds.  These brackets are out of production and are easy to break if you don't know how they work.   I will be happy to send you one or two for the cost of mailing.

i cant sit on the floor as easily as i used to or squat after my knee replacement.  so i started looking for high quality shop chairs that roll.

i came across the vyper chair.  

they are industrial grade and you can pick the colors and features you want.  i bought a red and blue one.  

if you have a smooth shop or garage floor and want to scoot around easily to work on things, these are the ticket.  i bought a tool tray for one of them.  and they are adjustable in height.  and have a very high weight capacity for the max version i bought with 5 legs and wheels.  

they are not cheap, but in this case you get what you  pay for.

the pictures are in my shop and are my actual 2 chairs.  the newell is on the other side of the shop

Outstanding credit (813), bought coach outright, no accidents, no tickets. Two quotes so far $6100 (2k Deductable) and $6500 (5k deductible). I can get the first quote down to 4500 with $5K deductible. I'm waiting on one more quote, then I expect to take the 4500. Ouch!

We are at Ambassador rv resort in Caldwell  Idaho. #451 is here.I have not made contact with them yet.I will advise them of the forum if they are not already here.

I found this on Sunday on the Motorcoach Store website after missing out on some 2008s. It hadn't hit the RVTrader yet, because Andrew Steele was coming down to do some UTube events. It hadn't even had its intake PDI yet.
It literally met everything we were wanting, even though it was a rear bath.
Today we drove down and looked it over, took it for a drive and the wire transfer is on its way. I will pick it up next week after the PDI and some training.

2009 rear bath

Hello all from sunny UK! I bought a 2004 newell coach about a year ago, some nice history belonging to Jimmie Johnson NASCAR driver in the states then bought by Jenson button (F1 DRIVER) and shipped over to Europe for the remainder of its life.

It’s a lovely coach and just about getting my head around all the bits on it! 
Looking forward to learning more!

This site and community of people here are amazing.  I can't stop reading what seems to be endless information.  Current searching for a 1999-2002 bath and half Newell.  I'm looking forward to owning, working on and learn as much as possible about Newell coach ownership.

So, I have been doing a lot of repair and refurbishment to get my New (to me) Newell out on some extended trips. One of the things that is driving me crazy is the Flexsteel(?) Villa(?) Driver's seat right arm.

When folded down, it simply flops to the seat cushion. If I push on it hard enough when it's vertical I can get it to stay sort of horizontal, but it's still pointed a bit down. NOT conducive to comfortable driving.

I have figured out how to remove the arm by rotating it backwards until the pin lines up and then pulling it out. There seems to be no real mechanism nor adjustments inside. Just a keyhole shaped entryway  with two "walls" inside.

Anyone know how it works and what to do to adjust or repair it? Am I missing pieces?

Thanks!
