We will be selling our 1986 Classic. We bought an '01 Wanderlodge 43' with a slide. It's now ready to go and I don't think it will be possible to maintain them both. We got the  Newell in 2017 and upgraded/repaired it to the state it's in now. When we got this Newell the plan was to get set up to take my parents to Alaska and have them cruise the coast home to B.C. We just made about 100 miles up the Alaska Hwy and my Dad said it was too much for him. So we hung out in Ft St John for a few days to see if he changed his mind and headed back south. We had zero issues with the coach.

The following have been changed out recently.

Air Bags
Water heater. (Rariton marine)  Heats with electric or engine coolant.
all 3 roof airs
Batteries (2018 and 2020)
Propane furnaces
3 way fridge
Magnum Inverter
Water pumps
Brakes and wheel bearings


Interior remodel including
Toilet
Marble tile in bath
Vinyl plank flooring
Upholstery changed from pink to black. Jackknife sofa and love seat make for a huge bed in front.
Complete interior paint and wallpaper. 
LED lighting

 Full body paint in 2018. Stored inside since. (Was outside  the summer of 2019 in Canada.)

Approx 140K miles. We used it this winter for 3 weeks, Quartzite, Yuma, and Lake Havasu. No issues.       

There are pics in my gallery, and I can take pics of any part you wish.

Asking $35K which is considerably less than invested, not including many months of work. I don't think you will find a nicer one.


Coach is in our shop in Maricopa AZ.  My # 306 436 7673  text is best as cell coverage is not great here. Thanks for looking, Mark


The one oddball pic is not mine. I don't know how it got there.

I have a 1996.  Low air warning light is on and the front suspension is low and hear an air leak in behind the front tire area.  Since I can't lift the front through air suspension I am attempting to locate a safe jacking point.  Is this one?  See photo the high lighted area in the photo     .  It is eventually welded to the 4 inch? steel tube.

Thanks in advance.

Generator exhaust , inside the compartment . I replaced the exhaust receiver pipe ( 2 1/4" O.D. , 2 " I.D. , gen pipe slides into it ) some time ago , now I have exhaust leaking into the coach . The problem is obvious , and of my own making . I didn't look at the old pipe closely enough , missed the packing that is pushed into the bead , assumed that the bead was to keep pipe from pushing through the panel . I machined a steel " donut " , welded it onto the end of the new pipe and that was it , Voila ! exhaust leak . The blower then supercharges the fumes into the cabin . 
 Has anyone developed another way to do the exhaust system with the slide out generator ?  I thought perhaps a flexible pipe or steel braided hose , but probably inviting more problems reinventing the wheel ! That said , I am looking at machining another piece with an internal receiver groove for the packing . Alternatively I could order a tool for beading and go with original style .
Question , looking for a source for the packing , wonder if anyone can steer me ? I have a request at Newell parts , not sure they would still have such a thing , so I am looking at options . 
I have shot myself in the foot so many times it's a miracle I can still walk !!
Chris

Hello guys. I just recently purchased a 1968 model 32' or 33' (can't remember specifically) Newell. I am seeking someone who knows this era of the great Newells. My first concern (and the only one to get it back to road worthiness) is the brakes. The model I have is built on a Ford dually frame with a 477 super duty engine in it. It has no brakes to speak of. The emergency brake is a system that is set up around the drive shaft and is supposed to, when applied, constrict a sort of strap on the drive shaft. But, my mechanic (and the friend who sold me the coach) thinks that someone left it on and drove it, because it is no longer tight enough to tighten down on the drive shaft. 
The second and most pressing brake issue is with the braking system itself. It has no pedal to speak of. The mechanic seems to think it is a hydroboost braking system, but I have trouble believing that because hydro brakes did not really hit main stream until a few years later and were mostly on diesels then. However, we know that the lines and wheel cylinders are all in working order, and that the master cylinder (or the reservoir at the very least) is by the steering column, because the linkage is visible there and that is where you fill with brake fluid at.
I hope there is someone here that can help point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Just my luck, brought my rig down to GCR to have a whole new set of firestone fs400s  installed. When jacking up my rig on the rear passenger side, the jack "slipped" off the axel and simply demolished my air brake canister. Called Newell to get the part number for a replacement, however the replacement canister is for air drums not disc's, which I had to point out at GCR when they complained that the new part wasn't setting correctly. Anyone can confirm the proper part number for the passenger side drive axel air brake canister for a 2001 45 foot Newell? I think I've located a suitable replacement based off of shape and looks of the original but wanted to be safe. Just another... funny story, I guess- when it's done should be a really good price for these fs400s.... just saying!
