Good afternoon,

Last year I replaced the original rooftop satellite antenna with a in-motion unit, the Winegard RoadTrip T4 Satellite Antenna. 

It works as expected driving down the road. It works fine stationary on the front, primary tv. While the antenna is designed for two receivers... that’s where the trouble begins. Wife Not Happy trying to watch satellite TV in bedroom. 

So, it’s time to ADD antenna #2... a stationary rooftop unit. 

Mounting the antenna should be straight forward. Bolt it to the roof and seal up the mounts. 

Entering the coach with wires is my question. 

It appears to me for the original antenna wires, Newell has a hole into the front area of the coach covered by a fairing and sealant. I’ve considered using the existing access but I’d prefer to have a access point that can be used for multiple items if needed. “Items” would include satellite antenna wiring, future solar panel wires, cellular booster system, cameras, lights, the list goes on. It will be easy enough to develop a conduit network for wiring after I figure out a way to enter the coach in a waterproof way... 

Any ideas, suggestions, advice will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
JK

Strange question.. does have anyone have one of the earlier models. I have a 67 and one battery is located in front of the passenger seat up front. Is there a second battery located on the bus? I can’t find where it would or should be. Thank you!

    This was sent to me by a friend from facebook. Don't know if it was a just for fun shot, or real. I have seen similar things in Mexico "back in the day" on highway transport buses.

My 1984 Newell with a DD 6v92 engine will not shut off. I just brought it home after filling it up with fuel and cannot get the engine to stop. I tried the kill switch on the dash and the kill switch in the rear panel but neither works. My wife says the rear kill switch has about 13 v coming in and around 11.8 to 12 going out. 

I have no idea where the fuel pump or equivalent is.

What do I do to stop the engine other than waiting for it to run through 170 gals of fuel?

The engine has been difficult to kill for several months but I could do it by putting it into gear and then hitting either kill switch. My phone number is 512-923-6099 if anyone wants to call.

When I look at my coach with north of 250,000 miles on it....I can't help but think that it is just now getting going.  Newell likes to say that these are "Million mile machines".   With proper care and maintenance I don't see why that would not be true.

To understand more about the fleet of Newells on the road would you reply to this thread and share your coach number, model year and miles on odometer?

I will take the data and produce a graph that should be interesting.  (My prediction is that the distribution will be bi-modal with some coaches being used for transportation and some as fairly fixed second homes...but I will let the data speak for itself).

Cheers,
Bill

Brian was driving the Newell home just now and the passenger front tire (new tire) literally flew off the rim. No notice just gone?. Who would we reach out to manage this?
