Good morning,  closed on Coach #636 last week and excited to be bringing it home to Lafayette, LA this week.  A lot to learn so I am sure there will be million questions posted.

I am replacing a failed engine battery manual disconnect switch. The faulty one is on the positive side of the batteries. Everything I read says it should be on the negative side. Any idea why Newell put it in the positive side? Perhaps it is someone's after market modification but the house battery disconnect is also on the positive side leading me to believe it came from the factory that way.

Is anybody familiar with this product?  I like to keep my coach clean when traveling and many parks won’t allow a person to wash their coach on site. Seen chatter on iRV2 forum and watched a couple Youtube videos but I’m still leery of using a waterless application on a dirty coach surface.

Anyone looking to purchase a VMSpc for their coach contact Roger Engdahl at 651-four 38-five nine 31
He has a great price on the VMSpc module $364.00 and also kits including a tablet.

Hey All

  So far I am LOVING the drive of my Newell. I left Albuquerque and am now In Oklahoma at the Stafford Air and Space Museum.

Have had a few issues.. but will all get sorted.

The only thing tht is not working that I woud like to use is the jake brake.

Checked fuses in pasenger footwell, relay looks OK..

Switch ON set to HGH..nada/

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Ok, so I know the real answer would be to not do it, BUT I'd really like to be able to park at home the night before a trip and for a few hours after to maybe overnight depending on when we get back.  Put down a new asphalt drive 2 years ago and went with 6" of rock topped with 2" of larger aggregate fiber reinforced and 2" fine aggregate fiber reinforced on top of that.  Only thing I parked halfway heavy on it was a 40' RV I rented last summer and it did leave very slight dimples where it sat.  Only noticeable when it rains where the light hits it just right but nonetheless they are there.  

So my thoughts are:

1.) Sandwich two pieces of 3/4 plywood and maybe to 4'x4' on steer and I'm thinking around 4'x8' on the drive/tag.  Thinking it would spread that weight out a bit more.  

2.) Rip out the asphalt in the areas where the tires will be roughly the same as above and pour concrete there.  Seems like a better option, but also thinking it might not look the best.

3.) Rip out asphalt and lay pavers similar to in size to #2 above.

KICKING myself for not spending the money for concrete when I did it.  I convinced myself I could get away with the asphalt and only be there for a couple hours on each end to load/unload, but that would not be nearly as convenient as overnight.  

Thoughts?

Thanks to Andrew Steele, I am becoming a huge Newell fan.

Spotted this beauty in Lynchburg, VA earlier this week.

        While in Madora North Dakota we had the pleasure of meeting Duanne and Stacy Whitfield and their Classic Newell coach #180

Hey all
  I am in Albuqurque gettig my newly purchased Newell reay to travel back to New York.
 
Silly question: What is the normal boost gauge at idle? If I rev the engine (warm) will I see any rise, or only under load?

Also, after shutdown I am hering a hissing leak (?) from he passenger side of the engine ner the top of the compartment and forward.

There MAY be a propanetype smell as well,but that may have been from another coach nearby.

Any answers would be appreciated!

Rick

Hello all, Since we couldn’t be there in person at spearfish during the no rally rally, we thought we would be there in spirit and soak up some sun with herb harmony and Izzy from Austin with our own mini rally . Two classic Newell at one place sure seems cool and odd at the same time. Lol. Thanks to Herb, Harmony. and Izzy for letting us crash your vacation time. Y’all are awesome!!
