Hey yall, been out for a few years, just washed the dust off my 77 and had a mishap and looking for a rear bumper. Anyone know where to find one or where they were sourced? 
 Thank you for any leads

I wish to say a very heartfelt thank you to Tom and Darlene McCloud in Wittmann, AZ. After a half dozen years of research we decided to take he plunge and purchase 2003 Newell coach 646 from Cassones RV in Mesa AZ. This our first coach. Tom was a wealth of information and wisdom before the purchase, he and his wonderful wife Darlene welcomed us into their home, provided warm friendship, fabulous conversation and more information about the Newell coaches that we could absorb.. What an amazing home and shop! Once the coach is ready we will begin our journey back to Florida. 

Tom and Darlene, thank you! We are looking forward to many miles and adventures of exploration in our new home away from home.

2003 Newell Coach 646

Morning all, new to the Newell family, I am based out of Southern Ontario, Canada. Looking forward to some great advice and help from all of you.

It has been my practice to offload the generator for a short while prior to shutting it down reducing loading significantly thereby letting things cool down and get a breather.

However, after I upgraded to lithium batteries and added and auto gen start/stop logic to the victron GX it seems that the challenge is much more difficult and I have not been using that functionality.

The big loads on the system are the a/c systems, Aquahot if on electric heat, and battery charging.  

The normal automatic logic is to turn the generator on when the battery gets low, and turns off at some point higher without regard to loading.

How important is my initial assessment/process to all of the systems, considering the only time I would want this functionality is while boondocking (my normal)?

My post in  reference to the value of features a the sales price of various years of coaches was deleted?!?! Did I violate some rule? If so,I’m sorry I had no intention of causing problems.  Additionally, there was no message from moderators explaining why my post was deleted.  Any explanation or reason would be great so that I may watch my step in the future.

Just finished servicing my aquahot and noticed that the hangar for the pipe the goes across to the driver's side and then up into the roof pip is broken. Har to tell what it looked like. Anyone know where to get one or even what it is?

It's about midway on the pipe span.

Thanks!

We still have the original AC units in the coach - whic AC (front or rear) would have the least amount of amperage draw please? We are in a storage bldg with 30-amp service and don’t want to blow the breaker…

Hi,

I am Tom McCloud and I started and own and operate the forum.   I wanted to thank all of you who have been part of it and the life of Darlene and I.  I talk to, text, email or chat with at least one of you almost every day and it is always a bright spot.  

When we started the group Darlene picked the motto of Friends Helping Friends and that could not be more true.  I cannot begin to tell you how many people have been helped by you.  From people who were injured and needed a friend, to people broken down to just those that needed to talk to someone.  Thank you.

I looked in my phone directory and i had over 120 saved contact numbers of newell friends.  and then there are the foretravel and other coach friends.  

I keep in touch with the newell factory management and they are appreciative of the help we give each other as well.

we have had so many of you stay at our home and we enjoy it a great deal.  i have been able to help alot of you and then in turn be helped in working on our amazing rigs as well.  

Darlene and I started NewellGurus in 2012 and the time has flown by.  I often get asked if folks can contribute to the operating costs and the answer is NO.  I have never and will never ask for a single cent from any of you.  Our son Scott handles the server work and I and my amazing fellow admins and moderators take care of the rest.  

I have often heard that NewellGurus is one of the most pleasant and nice forums people have used.  We watch closely and do not allow any contension or harsh words.  

You'all are amazing and we appreciate your friendship and support.

Thanks again

Tom

I'm looking at a coach that has a rear bath and the only way to access it when closed up is to crawl over the bed?  Is this normal?  Is there some kind of workaround?  Not a deal killer, but certainly inconvenient. 

Thx

Gregg

Hey, so I am pretty new to my coach but I think I have a rear air leak.  After leveling, I can hear it letting out air somewhere.  I will need to get this fixed, but in the meantime, how low to the ground can I be and still drive the coach safely?

I need to be able to drive the coach from St Louis to Pennsylvania to get it titled and registered and I can't wait here to get it repaired because shops can't fit me in until a month or more.  I want to make sure I can safety drive it.

I called Newell and the service tech told me some way to check to see if the height was ok, but I have no idea what he was talking about.  He said something about some tube or bar that you could measure 12 inches from the ground and that would be good, but I don't know what he is talking about as I don't see anything that looks like what he said.

Any help would be appreciated.
