What is the correct chassis battery for my coach? I am thinking the big 4DLT OTR truck type but what is in  it are typical car/truck batteries. Coach is a 1986 40’ with the 8V92 silver engine.

**Good news we have a deposit on the coach. So it is off the market.


We haven't used the coach for several years so decided it's time to sell it. Coach was remodeled after we got it and added new Villa couch along with driver and passenger chairs. Changed corion through out the coach. Added 3 zone aqua hot heat with continuous hot water and engine preheat circuit. Has basement airs and roof mounted air added over driver. Stacked washer and dryer (never used). Norcold tek II fridge/freezer in bay, In motion satellite dish. Day night shades, Observation deck on roof. Rear of coach has Villa fold up bed. The kids were young when we traveled so we built the rear so it could be used as a big play room. Zip Dee awnings all the way around. Pull through Joey Bed in one of the bays. 3 way (gas,electric,battery) Norcold fridge. This coach could be dry camped if desired.

It's built with the normal Newell specs. 200 gallon fuel tank plus 50 gal generator tank. 200 gallon fresh water, 200 gallon black/gray combined tank. 500hp 8V92 Detroit Diesel with DDEC2 electronics, Silver leaf engine monitor/display, 239,000 miles.

There was a leak in the bedroom and near the door, both have been fixed. Ceiling is out of the bedroom and ceiling has not been fixed near the door.

Coach will need new tires and batteries before it pulls out.

If your interested let's talk. Located in Indianapolis.

Today, I finally had a chance to go through some of the bays in our new coach. The previous owner left quite a few items, and most were self explanitory. Either I knew what the items were, like the inflatable kayak or some of the spare parts referenced in the manual. However there were a few things that I either couldn't figure out what the were or I couldn't figure out where they would go.
I have attached some pictures and in am hoping some of the Gurus recognize these items so I know what to label them with.
1. Two Release cables. One gray and one black. The black one is broken so I assume the gray one is the replacement. However, no idea where it would used or what for?????

2. Southco latch, part number 17416. I know it's a latch and it looks like the latches that are used on the compartment drawers in one of the bays. However, there was a fuse in the sealed bag. I'm clueless. Anyone???

3. Red, Oatey, 1.5" keeper cap. I know what it is and how to use it. Just don't know where it goes.

4. Cable: one end looks kind of like a computer/monitor power cable plug. The other end is open site with an online fuse. 

I try to be very organized and deliberate about what I am packing into the storage. If it doesn't have a purpose,  it doesn't need to be thrre. Thank you

We are having a problem with the left front side raising into travel mode and need to get it to a local HWH service center.
1. Has anyone out there had there Newell towed?
      - what are the down sides?
We have roadside assistance with towing but I'm concerned.

2. Another possible option but I don't know if it will work. In travel mode, I can turn on level an raise the left front. 
       - Is it possible that I could drive. It's about 20 miles to the service center?

3. There are 2 HWH Service centers about the same distance from me. One is a Cummings repair center. The other is an RV Service center. The RV Service center is listed on the HWH website as a Master service center.
      - any advice?I
Thanks all

Installed new Chassis batteries on wednesday and when we arrived in florida they have started to melt. What might have caused this?

We are looking to install Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring in our coach and remove the driver side couch.  In its place we want to put two Stressless recliner chairs.  Sans the tile floor our inspiration was an image from a newer Newell see below.
   

We are going on a two to three week trip. So instead of going all in, our plan was to not make any permanent alterations that can't be put back together as original.  So starting with removal of the couch, the front half of the dinette and the carpet under the dinette.  Installed LVP flooring and used the same material on the wall.  We only disturbed the slide area to give us some idea if we will like this product or not.  All in all start to finish it only took about a days work to complete our trial run.  We will perfect how we use the chairs and slide operation on our trip.  We also will evaluate the floor choice as to it's suitability for the coach.  We only have about $100 invested so not a big expense for making sure this will work for us.        

Have some plywood to replace on the slide wall and floor that will happen once we decide to do the complete floor project but for now things will be just fine for our purposes.

Where is the best place to purchase replacement rear drive and tag axle airbags?  Does anyone have the part numbers for these bags?  I wanted to order them before taking the coach to the shop.  Thanks for your responses.

Hi, has anyone used Zip Dee's travel latch? We just purchased #300 and previous owner had the main awning and the front drivers side window awning strapped to the horns on the roof of the coach. I discussed this with him and he claimed this to keep the from billowing while driving in windy conditions. Before I really knew what I was looking at, I discussed this with Tom and he suggested to add a second lever lock on the backside of the awning. Great idea but soon discovered that the  main awning already has a lever lock at the front and the back of the awning.

I have tested both awnings and they work great but I would prefer not to have to get on top of the coach to remove the straps every time I want to use the awning.

I called Zip Dee and they suggested the I install a travel latch. Great idea except the I have to mount the latch to the sidewall of the coach. It would mount behind the awning arm so I'm not worried about that. My concern is about the support behind the sidewall. 

Does anyone know where the vertical body frame supports run. Like where the start and the spacing in between? I don't want to put a whole in the side of my coach if there is no support.

Thanks
