Hello fellow Guru's 

I have been working on my 2008 Newell (1223) for about a year trying to understand its air intake system and its limitations and have finally put together a video discussing what the various problems are and what I am doing to correct the situation.

I would appreciate any comments, advice or experience with the issues discussed from any of the members. 

The video can be found here.

Does anyone have pictures or drawings of their coach's skeleton frame before the skin was applied?

Sorry Michael, this one got away. I didn't want to pop up in his drivers window on Halloween to get a vin. The next morning he was gone. Note the stainless or perhaps polished aluminum trim  strips on the sides of this  beauty. Kind of a nod to Prevost? I was told he had been over looking at our 1984. Now that is funny.

Perdos S.O.B. campground. (South of the Border) On the North Carolina South Carolina border. Right off I 95. 100 ft pull through spaces, 50 amps  no wi fi, no cable. Did I mention 100 ft pull through spaces ? :}

I bought our 86' 40' with a 8V92 DD. Some previous owner removed the muffler and routed the exhaust straight out the back. Way too loud for my taste! I see the mounting brackets for a muffler. That part looks straightforward.  How was the exhaust routed originally? Did the tailpipe exit the side of the coach? Double back and exit the rear? Pictures would be great!

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!
