I’ve owned pull along campers and 5th wheels, but never a coach. I do have a CDL. [amoff][/amoff][amoff][/amoff]Looking for a Newell with mid entry and a bath and a half. Looking for info on best years, best engine and tranny. Stacked washer and dryer and preferably the bigger horse power. Maybe steerable tag. Any feedback, opinions, advice and warnings are great and really appreciated. Thank you in advance. Tom

Suzy & I are at the Traverse Bay RV Resort in Michigan and there are 4 Newells that are all parked together.  I was showing off the great job that Detroit had done with the chrome kit to jazz up the appearance of their engines.  Alan, who has a 2015 Newell with a Cummins engine, said that he had been able to order the chrome kit on his engine when they built their coach.  Several of us stated we were not aware of Cummins offering a chrome kit, so off to Alans coach to admire his engine.

   

As you can tell we are all having a great time!!!!! 

I found a 2006 on a New Jersey RV lot specializing in trailers and 5th wheels. It's what I've been looking for, a mid-entry but wish the galley was on the street side. Would appreciate any comments about stuff that's endemic to the '06 Newell. Leaking windows, something bad about the Cat or the ZIF tranny? Mileage is about 98k.
This would be my first Newell, but third coach. My '01 Monaco Exec is a honey but The Management wants four slides and we both like the many Newells we've looked at.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Regarding air leaks, what would be the minimum aux compressor cycle time that you would expect before worrying about major leakage?
I'd be grateful for any advice, thoughts or otherwise.
Thanks gang,
Tom Gauger

Anyone know what this or how to get a new one?

They finally got our listing live today with pictures. I am.hoping they will add more exterior ones. If not, message me and I can send you the ones I have.

Thanks for the shameless plug for NewellGurus.com!

My name is Tim Williamson, my wife and I just  bought a 1999 Newell # 505. We live in south Texas and have been RVing for 30 plus years, all 3 previous rv’s were new and we learned that they spend the first year in the shop, so we decided to buy used this time. 
I’m looking for the frt windshield pivot for the drivers side, Newell stated that they were Bosch units and don’t make them anymore.
I am new to this site so if this is in the wrong place please guide me to the right place.

Thank you 
Tim Williamson

This being our first trip out in 746 has made long for my old macerator pump setup on our old rig.

I do not like fumbling around with the stinky slinky.
Our favorite place on the river has the dump too far from the rig. 

I see from the AH bay that the slinky hose connects in that bay. Has anyone here installed a macerator pump? Our last one used 1.5" Tigerflex hose with quick disconnect which made it so easy to dump both our tanks.

I realize there is only one tank so I won't be able to utilize the grey water bypass but thats ok.

Any ideas?

howdy all,

i have spent a lot of time talking, texting, emailing, messaging with folks about problems they are having on their coaches.  first of all, i love doing it.  you are more than welcome to contact me.  i know of others that feel the same way.  

the one theme that i would like share is something i have learned and am still learning.  

do one thing at a time, keep it simple to start and take baby steps.  

most problems are often simpler than they seem.  not all, but alot of them.  break the problem into small steps and chunks and eliminate things as you go.   dont look for the complicated approach, but the simplest to begin. 

 i had a problem with one coach that the hydraulic fan for the series 60 radiator was blowing fluid all over.  the owner said he had replaced the overhung adapter once already.  (expensive fix) and was still doing it.    it ended up being the hydraulic fitting on the adapter had no o ring.   12 bucks later with a new fitting and o ring and a lot of pressure washer time and the help of a very small neighbor, it was fixed.  

power problems, hydraulic problems, air system problems, etc can all be broken down into small pieces to resolve.  the more patience and the simpler you approach it, most likely the less expensive the fix will be.  not always but often.  

also, other than major engine problems, most things can at least be troubleshot by you by if you take the time to learn about the issue and try different things.   the challenge we have is that no two newells are the same.  even in the same model year.  but the basics are all the same.  

another thing i have learned is not to try and fix everything in the same system at once.  it is a recipe for frustration and failure.   one thing at a time.  

i had a problem where when i stopped for fuel at a truck stop that the coach was leaning way over on the drivers side.  the passenger side was way up in the air.  i didnt follow my own suggestions.  called a few folks in the forum.  problem is that it is hard to sometimes totally share what the issues is without seeing it first hand.  at a truck stop we changed the rear ride height valve.  no change....and that was not an easy thing since the tire has to come off....     if i had thought through what was happening i would have realized the ride height valve was releasing air but not fast enough to over come the air coming in from the six pack from a massively leaky raise solenoid plunger failure.  the air was leaking past the raise six pack solenoid when it was supposed to be closed.....causing air to go into the passenger side rear airbags, meanwhile since i was in travel mode the ride height valve was trying to let the air out, but was slower than the air coming in.  i had a spare solenoid and the fix was 5 minutes.   after a full day of trying things i had not carefully thought out....

anyway,  alot of things can be solves by being patient, not panicking, taking baby steps, keep it simple and approaching it one thing at a time.  

there is a wealth of information here on the forum and a lot of very smart gurus.  post your problems and then most importantly post the solution so we can all learn from it. 

my two cents worth and i am stickin to it

These actuators are on my 05 #746, I've searched all over, anyone know of a source other than the  mother ship??
