Hello, All,
I am looking at a 2002 40' Newell with two slides and need some advise. While I know the coach #, I hesitate to write it in order to protect the owner's privacy.

In addition to any opinions and/or suggestions may share, I have some specific questions:
Would a 2002 have IFS?
Is the skin aluminum or fiberglass?
I take it that a 2002 doesn't have steerable tag
Does the generator have an auto start?

Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning.

Yesterday I finished the installation of a WALKER AIRSEP (KWOTR-10R) for 744’s Cat C13 ACERT. 
Not a complicated installation, I had to fabricate a bracket for mounting it in the right side engine compartment. I purchased it last year when I noticed a small pool of oil underneath the engine. Under further investigation I found the “slobber tube” was only partially responsible, a good majority of the oil was from a leaking seal which was resolved. Non the less the AIRSEP will be a good Addition to the Cat. 

walkerairsep.com 

Here’s a blurb from Walkers website:

The Airsep® Air/Oil Separator eliminates crankcase emissions by actually closing the crankcase on your diesel engine. The Airsep® is the only current system with a patented design that uses induction air to coalesce the hot oil vapor into liquid. 

The Airsep® reduces crankcase pressure, causing the engine to operate in a vacuum. The direct benefits include reduction or elimination of most seal leaks, less lube oil being forced by the rings into the cylinders, and reduction of oil being vented through the crankcase breathers.

When the Airsep® removes the lube oil from the blowby gases, the remaining water vapor and raw diesel fuel is re-inducted into the air intake system. On turbocharged and aftercooler engines, this helps prevent the build-up of grit on the turbocharger blades, or the accumulation of oil residue in the aftercooler. Finally, the inducted water vapor reduces the temperature of combustion, which results in increased engine efficiency.


Note: The AIRSEP oil drain needs a avenue back to the engine case. I was able to locate and remove a case plug for this purpose. 
I mounted the bracket I built to the coach frame but failed to verify it was square with the coach in travel mode. I had to modify the base of the bracket to level out the unit. Someday I might build another bracket that doesn’t require the shim to level things out... someday... 

My dad always had a Walker Air Oil Separator on his airplanes. I know they worked because I was responsible for keeping the belly clean. The AIRSEP has benefits beyond containing oil and such but I’m looking forward to a cleaning up the engine compartment and finding other things that leak!

My 2020 Pandemic mods include the Big Boss Tuner and Walker AIRSEP. I’ll keep you posted on my findings when we head out to the Rockies this year.

   

                                   

Today 9/7/2020 I received in part the following email.
It's good to see that we will still have someone out there continuing to supply these critical parts for our coaches.

" Rick and Stephen sold Dupree Products last week and we (new owners) have forwarded all the emails to a support account.

We're going to re-open the website in the next day or two and will be adding products for sale as we get up and running."  Signed Braden

I feel like an idiot because I don't know the answer to my question. I own a 1986 all mechanical Newell. It had the DD 8V92 and Allison HT740 transmission.  Long story short, I decided to replace the drive train. I bought a Denver RTD 2000 transit bus with a Cummins ISM and ZF Ecomat 2 transmission for a driveline swap. It came with an I/O Controls Dinex G multiplex system. For those interested, it's a 2000 Orion V with a Cummins ISM and ZF Ecomat 2 HP HP592C transmission.

We've got the ISM and ZF transmission in the 86 Newell, but not getting the transmission to shift into any gear. The Newell is in Missouri and I'm in Boise Idaho. I've got bids, and it's $7500 to tow it to Boise for me to diagnose. My alternative is to drive my Range Rover to Missouri with adequate tools to diagnose the problem.

To my knowledge, all I need is the transmission ECU and engine ECU communicating with J1939 CAN bus for it to work. Fortunately, J1939 is relatively standardized, unlike auto manufactures with their CAN bus messages. I have the tools to monitor the CAN bus messages, but want to make sure that if I load up my Range Rover with my tools and monitoring software I'll be able to get my coach operable.

Obviously with my 1986 Newell I don't need a PLC logic ladder to prevent me from pulling away from the curb because my non-existant wheelchair ramp is extended.

Looking to purchase a 2007 mid-entry, bath and a half. Cat 625 HP.

I have 2 LF210 0.5 gal flush toilets to find homes for.  These are new in box as far as I can tell.  The boxes with toilets have been in a storage room at a building I own for 20 years.  Please let me know if anybody needs these.

Pictures available on request!

Thanks

I wanted to introduce my wife Andrea and I (Brian) - we just purchased a 2015 Newel 2020.  We have owned other custom rigs (including two Earthroamer XLTs from Colorado) and are looking forward to getting into a big coach.  Our Coach is number 1511 and named "God Speed" - painted on both the front and back of the coach.

We plan to travel from our homes on the east coast to the west coast (and enjoy the country as we travel between) with our three dogs.  I am so appreciative for this resource and to be part of the family and am riding the learning curve of these complex coaches everyday.  I have so many questions and will certainly be reaching out as I begin to learn more.

God Speed -

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member and Newell owner.  Just purchased a 2015 Newell Coach and having fun riding the learning curve.  I have already diagnosed and replaced my rear Valid Level Controller (that had us sidelined for 2 days).  Have decided to carry a spare front and back controller in my tool kit because without that controller you are not going anywhere (my Moto is 2 is 1 and 1 is None).  Also, been learning the systems and troubleshooting other minor items.  Most of my calls to Newell service (who are amazing and have become my new best friends) have been so pleasant, informative and generally result in me figuring out my "user error" to get things running. 

I am very excited to be in the Newell family and look forward to learning more about my coach and having this valuable resource.

Thanks - Brian

Saw this in a parking lot in front of Spec's in Baytown, Texas. It was just sitting there idling, lights on inside but didn't see anyone.  good looking coach.
