I am going to replace the solenoid valves on the manual air leveling system. I have purchased the valves, 12 total. There are six in the front and six in the back. I’m wanting to know how they work before I remove them. What l can tell, two are exhaust and two let air in. The other two I’m not sure. There are two of a different style not sure about them also. Does anyone have any information about this? Wiring Schematic or how they are piped in?

Hi all,

Newbie here! We are beginning our search for a Newell in the 2007-2010 range. We are no strangers to RVs, we started full-timing in a class A in 2015, had an airstream, my husband built out a sprinter van and now we are full-time in a storyteller Hilt, adventure truck. Due to health reasons, we are looking for something larger and more comfy for my husband but don’t want to give up the lifestyle. We are going to look at a Newell on Tuesday in OK and do the factory tour in Miami! We are both a little concerned about the size of these coaches since we’ve never driven a 45’ RV. Is anyone looking to sell a shorter Newell, I believe that’s like looking for a unicorn but wanted to ask?! Also, is anyone selling their coach that hasn’t been listed yet?! Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a 2008 Newell and the CAC is leaking.  The original manufacturer was Positech International, but they seem to now be out of business.  Does anyone know of a company that can build a replacement?  I would prefer not to rebuild the one I have if possible due to it being 23 years old, possibly.  It may have been changed out in the past before I owned the coach.  The CAC has been painted black and it looks like a bomber can job and not a factory job.  

Also if anyone has a drawing of the unit that would allow another manufacturer or shop to build one, that would be exceptional!

I have a couple of photos of the leaking around the frame supporting the CAC.  Seems the pressure has blown out the sealant that was used when it was installed.  The area must be somewhat confined to be able to build pressure.  Sorry, I tried to upload a video, but system doesn't allow it.

Any advice is certainly appreciated!

   
   
   

Thank you,

Hello,

We purchased coach 1497 from The Motorcoach Store and did not get the sliding drink console with it.  Any chance someone here has one they would be willing to part with?

I’ve been helping my uncle care for his Newell for the last couple years. I’ve made numerous repairs to the interior and exterior, including replacing slide bearings.

As many of you know I purchased coach 435 about a year ago. Rewired a ton of it and other major work. New tires and airbags. Tons of work done and ready to roll. 
Took the summer to sell my house and prepare for the trip from Alaska to Maine. 
Well we started out last Friday from Anchorage and everything went smoothly. Made it to Tok roughly  and called it a day. Woke up Saturday morning  changed an airbags that had a factory defect and had been sent a replacement. Easy enough got that done in 45 minutes. And... the governor on the compressor dies. Thankfully I'm 15 minutes from NAPA so I go grab a new one and a spare. Get back k swap that out and get a late start. 
Knowing the road is extremely unpleasant we didn't go far. Made it to Destruction bay and called it a night. Sunday morning coach starts a bit sluggish but we're on our way. Notice the volt gauge is pretty low and discovered the alternator is not charging. Flip the generator on and continue onward. 
Stop for the night at watson lake since everything is closed in Canada on Sunday. 
Monday we make another 450 ish miles of progress with the gen running all day and all goes well.
Tuesday...
No power at the key. Not a big deal. Run 2 hours away and get new ignition switch as this had been troublesome before. Swap with new switch. Still nothing. All fuses are good checked each one. Checked each circuit breaker all in order. At a loss and getting late with park closing for the season on Wednesday at noon. I start to panic a bit and call Newell.
Get call back in 10 minutes and was directed to the back panel box where there's a Klixon breaker. Power in and nothing out. Seems problem solved. Had a spare marine breaker with me so quick 10 minute swap out.
Using the mechanics switch in the rear coach will spin for days but not fire. 
Called it a night since it was getting late.
Yesterday morning I call Newell since I've got 5 hours to get my coach out of the park I'm at. Never get a return call. Call a service shop in Fort St. John and they give me the number for a tow.
He shows up in a shiny white kenworth tridrive with tri axle landol. He briefly checks a few things and realizes I was a commercial driver for years and have already narrowed it down to a fried ECM. He agrees and loads it up.  Couple hours later and we are at the shop waiting in line. They say it could be Monday before they can get to it. 
So anyways. Here's a few nice pictures of the coach going for an adventure  after being stationary for about a decade.

I did get a new alternator when I got the new ignition switch.

Has anyone used a Lippert Ladder system?  It uses a collapsible ladder… looks pretty cool and that would make me feel a little better about getting my old body off the ground onto the roof…

I would love to find a way to buy a hub cover.  I had my Newell inspected and when I drove to my next destination the wheel lug cover on one tire flew off and is lost somewhere.

Can anyone tell me what model this is or where I could get one other than Newell?

Time to trim down the fleet!
I bought this toad vehicle only two years old and have used in maybe three times behind the Newell to the Keys from Tennessee.   I switched to my smaller Jeep 10 years ago.  Truck does not get enough use to justify keeping it.
96,xxx miles.
In excellent condition.  No issues and ready for new adventures.  Just supply your own RoadMaster bar, plug in the 4 way, and connected air for the M&G brakes, and pull the handle on the driveshaft disconnect.
It is located in East Tennessee near Knoxville.  I am willing to deliver it if the new owner will just cover the actual expenses of doing that.  The price is $9,999 firm.    Russ - [email protected]
