Having resized my system, I have a Xantrex SW3012 charger / inverter for sale.  It is in working order with no issues during my control.  It is a Pure Sine Wave output rated at 3000W 120VAC with an input of 12VDC.  A Xanbus system control panel is included as are all the manuals.
Asking $1,200.00  FOB Williamsport, OH 43164  Weight = 70lbs

howdy all,

been 9 years since we started newellgurus.   what a ride it has been

thanks to all of you for being our old and new friends and for the advise and wisdom and friendship you so freely share

I own a 2009 coach 1274 now and was just at Newell getting some things done there.  When talking to a tech about airing up to spec, I think it was 120 psi or so he suggested using a " multiplier" or something like that because the air produced by the coach really wouldn't get up to the needed pressure or would take a really long time.

Any advice on a device you hook up to the air system to bring your tires up to pressure from the coach air?

He showed me a small portable device he hooked up to any shop airline and used when working on the tires etc.

Thanks

2009 Newell
Coach 1274

when i bought my coach 10 years ago, the ceiling trim that runs down the middle that is about 8 inches wide and flares out (goes from bedroom to entry) was broken.  so i had a new one made with the same laminate i used in my bedroom and it is mounted to a piece of plexiglass.  

it came down after all these years.  i used standard contact cement like we used on making our bed for laminate on it.  

i need to re attach it to the ceiling.  what is the best product to use?  needs to be something that grabs and holds instantly like contact cement as there is no way i could prop the whole thing up.  

it is about 8 feet long.  

any super wisdom here?

We've been looking for five years for the perfect Newell. Ideally with mid-entry and a Murphy bed...and affordable for us. Yesterday we spent 90 minutes with the owner couple of a 2003. I'm not going to divulge the coach # at this point as I don't want a problem with the owners.
The coach looks clean and was nicely detailed. Mid-entry but standard queen bed. The coach has newer tires and batteries and some of the airbags have been replaced. Two new-in-a-box bags are stored in a bay.
This Newell is the only one I know about that spent time at a Camping World facility where the inverter was initially replaced with a 24v unit which fried some stuff. The remote control panel of the new Xantrex did not fit the panel over the driver's seat. So they jammed it in and left two pieces of the old unit cracked and in place. Looks awful. When he mentioned Camping World I was astonished.
With all four AC compressors running, powered by the gen set, the temperature and humidity never reached a comfortable level during our 90-minute visit. It was 94 outside and very humid. Outside, condensate was running off the sides of the coach. The owner didn't know the drain tube location(s). Can anyone help me with this?
The refrigerator was not working although the interior light was on. Can its compressor be replaced without removing it from the coach?
I ran a CarFax which reported damage in a collision in 2009. The owners said they weren't aware of an accidents involving this Newell as they didn't own the coach at that time. Does this materially affect the value of the coach?
Impossible to read any labeling on switch panels...aren't they supposed to be backlit?
There wasn't time during this visit to get demonstrations of the AquaHot Diesel & AC, hot & cold water system, black & grey tank dump valve operation, awnings, washer & dryer, etc
The Detroit Diesel ran without smoke and sounded great. Genset functioned perfectly, both legs reported at 122v. The power draw was 20 amps on each leg which seemed right with four ACs running.
The two rear slides functioned briskly. These have the carrier covers that must be re-positioned before operating). The front slides were already out and I should have gotten a demo...but again, out of time on this visit.
I would greatly appreciate comment from the wise owls here about what I've learned. I'd not wanted to buy a pre-2004 coach, but this one is nearby and looks pretty good, inside and out.
Thanks!

So.. After checking all my RV keys (CH751, etc) and all the keys I received with the Newell I have found I do not have a single Bay door lock key nor the key to turn on the alarm. The common style RV keys seem to fit, but obviously they aren't cut for the lock.

Anyone have any leads before I begin replacing all the locks??

Especially for the alarm switch.

Thanks,

im at the beach relaxing and my screen door is not retracting
i pulled on it alittle to see if it would catch and spring back and more came out by no luck going back in ?
any ideas would help..thanks

(a floppy mess )

On our last trip, my wife hands me a small round plastic thing that she found in the bathroom floor.  Further investigation it belongs to the curved shower door roller.  It had exploded apart with the small ball bearings missing in action.  The roller was no longer operational and for fear of the door falling off I removed the door and stowed it below.  BTW that door is heavy get help taking out of the coach!  I didn't, and was very fortunate not to break me or the door as I tripped on the step coming out of the coach.  Bought a shower curtain from Walmart and some hangers and we are back in business. 

Now for the rollers.  Knowing they are expensive started looking around for a suitable metric bearing replacement in order to rebuild the old roller.  Found a nice bearing that was about a .001" too big on the O.D. and .002 too small on the I.D.  Those bearings where $25 ea. and I needed two per roller...so $50 and some machine time might get me back in business.  Someone suggested calling Liberty Coach as they had them pretty reasonable.  Liberty wanted $325 each and had them in stock.  Unable to find another source I found some on Ebay for $99....https://www.ebay.com/itm/164662266606?hash=item2656a2caee:g:n-0AAOSwtilb7Na.  Ordered them, now the door is fixed, and we are back in business.

Rumor has it that one of the original gurus has gone over to the dark side-----------------------------bought a Prevost.  Just say its not so!

Does anyone have any leads on a classic in/or around Arkansas?
