Had 3 windows that had moisture between the glass that cost around $3000 for new at Newell plus installation cost.  While in FL, i came across an article about Goldcoast Design in Hudson, Fl that repairs these frameless windows.  Since I was only about an hour away, I made a appointment to have them repaired and drove there.

They removed the windows on Monday, covered up the openings and started the repairs.  Once cleaned and put back together, there is a minimum cure time of 24 hours or more depending on the humidity.  Mine took 48 hours and were reinstalled on Friday afternoon.  

They came back looking good as new with a lifetime warranty at a cost of $650 per window which includes labor.

They have a flat rate of $650 per window regardless of size. So having small windows repaired is not worth the cost as you can buy new windows a lot cheaper. I had my escape window in the bedroom, the drivers side window and one over the couch repaired.

I was very happy with the repairs and saved around $1500 versus having new installed.

They also have water and electric provided with a dump station.

Saw this 1987 Newell on Facebook market place.  1987, 40’, three axle.  $15,000 obo.  Search Little Rock, AR on marketplace to view

Okay, so I have another mystery. Right above the driver  cockpit . On the underside of the overhead cabinet, there is something like a trapdoor but not really a trap door. It is hard to describe so I have attached a picture. Also, above the trap door, inside the overhead cab is a box. It appears these items are somehow connect but before I go digging around, I would like to know what it is.
Thanks

Our 1986 Classic Newell has a throttle that sticks open and won’t back off to an idle. It happens randomly but pretty frightening when it occurs.  Any thoughts on where to start? I was told it is an air operated device but have not confirmed. Coax #121. 8V92 engine. Allison four speed.

There is a 1997 Newell up in our area, #446. Looks clean from the pics and I'll go see it this weekend. Has anyone here ever owned this coach or know anything about it? I'm trying to do all the research I can on it before I go see it tomorrow. Any suggestions on research resources greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Had the coach running at high idle the engine spit sputtered and stalled, fortunately at home!   Tried to start engine again with no luck.  BTW no check engine light came on during this event.  Suspected fuel related issue as the filter was almost full....changed filters found a little water perhaps a table spoon's worth.  Tried cranking again with no luck, fiddle around checking breakers and connections finding nothing to speak of (Breakers had not tripped) i.e. no white ring exposed.  Tried to start again and managed to get it running for a few minutes then it stalled again.  Put a fuel pressure gauge on the pump finding zero pressure during the crank phase. 

Pulled fuel pump to check "Star" coupling from the compressor to fuel pump drive....that was good to go.  Left it off in case I am going to replace the pump.

Next in line was the fuel return check valve on bell housing end of the engine head. If this is stuck open fuel pressure will not build up.  No way to even see this area much less get to it....EXCEPT Newell engineers removed the DD Check valve from the head and put on the return line near the tank.....easy peezy. Took the check valve to Detroit Service Center in Ocala to pick up a new one.  Spoke with the tech in the shop as to possible causes of my problem.  He gave a list of things that it could be in the order of expense the least to most expensive.  He checked the valve stating that it was good.  So next would be the SRS sensor of which there are three different P/Ns so back home to remove it and get the correct part number.  By now you can probably tell I am ready to through parts at it to get it fixed.  Can you say how glad I am the coach is at home!!

Put everything back together to verify "Crank no Start no Check Engine Light".  Tried to start several times with no luck....same condition.  One more time I checked the DEEC circuit breakers...this is one of the culprits the Detroit technician mentioned.  This time I physically put my fingers on each breaker and pulled....one of them had a gritty sound as it moved to the tripped position with hardly any effort.  The other was rock solid and could not be pulled.  I reset the pulled breaker and tried to pull it back out it would not pull back out....Ahha!  Needless to say I have two breakers coming and will change them out!

Cranked the engine for perhaps 10 sec and it fired right up!!  I had left the fuel pressure gauge connected to the high side of the fuel pump which showed 15 to 20 lbs of pressure.  I think I am going to leave it installed as it is real handy TS tool.

I shudder to think, if on the side of the road, things would have been a lot different not to mention the cost to get going again.  The one breaker evidently was tripped internally and due to the girt the white band stayed hidden.  I think, as a preemptive, these breakers would need changing due to the "gotcha factor" involved if they are any where near the originals.

I just removed and replaced my single and dual SCS basement units.
Single unit has brand new compressor and dryer. Charged with NU-22 refrigerant. Works fine.
Dual unit. 2cd stage works fine. 1st stage trips breaker. 
Both are free for anyone. 
You pay palletized shipping or come and get’um.
We are located about an hour south of Sweetwater, Texas just off I-20.

I replaced with a 24,000 BTU, heat pump, 240v split unit. Outside unit mounted in bay where old single unit resided. There are 2 of 12,000 BTU low floor models in living room.
There is a 750 cfm circulating grow fan sucking on the original 2 stage return air in the living room and distributing through the original ducts to the kitchen, bath room and bedroom.

Hey ladies and Gents! 
Recently purchased Coach 360 to update and renovate. The 12v system is a mess and not operating currently. Have ordered a new Invertor/Charger and 8 New C-8 Batts. Had to change the contactors before anything worked... Making my way through the systems... My question is about  The Yanmar Generator.  It was running well, but shut down when the fuel crossover clogged and the gen tank got below 25%. Have power to the starter 12.9v but the Solenoid is fried. Does anyone know the starter brand/model number? Huge Thanks in advance!  Newell Newby.
