Hi everybody,

  Does anyone know what the exterior of these old 1967's were finished with if anything? Thanks in advance

Hi All,

First of all thanks to everyone for all the comments about the 95 we looked at over the weekend. Based on your input and feedback, we decided to move on from that one and to continue our search, which brings me to my next topic.  I have run across #300, a 1992 38 footer. She looks real nice in the pics (inside and out). I talked to the current owner today and he gave me the low down on all of the coach systems. For the most part, everything sounds pretty good. There were a few issues that he pointed out and I thought I would put them out there for your thoughts.

1. When he put the coach in storage, he apparently did not shut off the propane tanks, just turned the furnace's down. He is not sure what happened but now the furnaces won't fire. Do you think he burned something out in the furnaces or maybe just need to be reset.
2. Leveling: Claims the airbags work great in travel mode but has an issue with the right front in level mode. He just purchased two new 6-packs but has not installed them yet. Thoughts?
3. When hooked into city water, everything functions as it should. When using the fresh water tank, has a small leak. He told me that he hasn't had time to fix it yet but that he would.
4. During last trip the temp gauge on the dash stated getting erratic. He checked the gauge at the back of the coach and it stayed at a constant 180 degrees. He thinks the gauge needs to be replace or repaired.

I got the sense over the phone that he was trying to tell me everything he knew and was not trying to hide anything.
What do y'all think?

We just got home from a short shakedown trip
My better half got a new hip June 5 so we have been staying 
Around the house.
I’ve been visiting the coach and doing small repairs ...BUT
There is nothing like a road trip the find small things 

Also found I needed to be retrained.....
Things went great until we turned onto our street 
Drivers windshield wiper quit. Then while unloading 
Things I noticed the lights in closet were not working
I said a few words, thought fuse....started out the door
To get my meter....AND found we had hit the master
Switch......EZ fix

Wonder where I should start on the wipers ??????

Hi
We have been going out in our camper for  14 years or so. My wife was not a camper before we met. Now we are starting to look at used NEWELL'S
I have been doing research on different rv's and have come up with NEWELL being the best even used one's.  I am hoping to get advice one them as we go through the process on getting one. 
Thanks

Hello everyone. So my wife and I just started our Newell search, but I am kind of already ate up with it. Spending all my free time on the net looking at what's out there and reading all of the Newell guru posts I can. Looked at a 95 (#379) yesterday. Needs lots  and lots of work. It has been parked for a very long time (not enclosed but under cover). 
1. Needs all new tires, 
2. both windshields need to be replaced. 
3. All (and I mean every) bay doors do not close properly, will not stay open unless you engage the safety latch and are either missing the lock mechanism of will not lock. 
4.Need new engine and house batteries. 
5.All of the furniture needs to be replaced or recovered. 
6.There is a crack in the top edge of the rear fiberglass cap.
7. Water stains around most of the Windows but I don't think they are leaking. I think this is due to moisture build from sitting so long without being aired out.
8. ]The generator would turn over but not start but the coach fuel level was below a quarter tank so that might be the culprit. It would start if sprayed with some starter fluid.
 The good news.
We were able to get it started with just a jump from.my truck
( A little concerned about the mileage. According to the title, it had 149,700 miles on it when it was purchased in 2011. Now it only has 149,800. So supposedly it has only been driven 100 miles in 9 years.  I
Airbags worked and all system gauges indicated everything was functioning properly. We let it run for 30 plus minutes. For as much as I know, air pressure was good, temp was good, etc.air ride appeared to go into travel mode and adjusted. However, due to the condition of the tires, we did drive it.

I guess what I am generally looking for from the gurus is an overall impression based on my description. And maybe an opinion as what some of these repairs might cost. I can do some of the work myself but I do not have a shop or the expertise to do the real technical stuff. 

I'm torn. There are several coaches in my price range that appear to be in much better shape and are road ready. But if I think I can get this one for a good price.

Any and all thoughts  will be greatly appreciated.
There's a lot more to list but this a cholesterol start.
Thanks, Tony

Howdy all! Looking for the starter relay to test a no start no crank situation. I was looking for that shiny can object, but can't find one. So far I have load tested the batteries (one bad one, replaced), load tested the starter from the batteries (very little voltage drop, or I'm doing it wrong). 
I am enclosing images of what I think I am looking at in the engine compartment with the possible relays outlined. Thoughts? Thanks!

Saw a Newell headed east on CO 160 at 130 PM yesterday 9/25/2020 about 20 miles east of the Great Sand Dunes National Park. We were headed west so could not determine the year of the coach.

Family of 4 looking to purchase a Newell 2007-2015.  Bunks a huge plus but not necessary. Thanks!

Saw a 2006 Newell towing a black Jeep headed south on I-25 just south of Pueblo, CO about 4 PM yesterday afternoon.  Nice looking coach.
