My buyer cannot find financing to purchase my 2001 coach. They have A+ credit but are running into an issue due to the age of the coach and they only have one installment loan.  Any suggestions besides home equity line (home is paid for in a trust)? resources for financing 60k?  thanks for any help with this!!

If you are looking for an extremely well built vintage RV, with a beautifully updated interior, fantastic amenities, and a recent restoration, take a look at this 36'8" Newell couch. It is for sale in Washington State and is drive-away ready. Purchased for $25,500 in 2015, with over $10,000 in upgrades, the new owners will benefit from this bargain.

Included in the sale is a complete list of receipts, part numbers, and suppliers and operating manuals and instructions. Below are some of the features of this coach, followed by a list of repairs and upgrades completed. We are selling because we purchased a second home and no longer RV.

Revisiting low charging voltage from alternator that was rebuilt and upgraded to 220 amp back in 2018 . The unit is a Leece Neville  with 102200 regulator which is non adjustable , and is driven directly off blower shaft . The highest output I have seen is 13.6 V with fully charged batteries . When driving in daylight the voltage will fall back below 12.5 V , at night with all lights on it will drop below 12 and steadily loses from there , cruising at 65mph . The housing was broken when the alternator was returned after rebuild , regulator mounting was broken , rotor would not turn . Sent it back , when it arrived second time the reg mount had been replaced , housing still broken , rotor would not turn . No housings available , so I knew I was on my own , loosened through bolts , shifted stator to get rotor clearance , put a clamp around the housing to keep chips from falling off and ran it . Probably should have scrapped it at that point , but it looked like  $2K plus for a new one , or a Wilson for about $700. Early this year I sourced a used belt drive set up from ebay , just the drive , would need to get an alternator if I decide to go with this .
I am wondering if anyone out there has switched to a belt drive alternator on an 8V92 ? I think it may be the same on a 6V . My reasoning is that I believe the belt driven alternator would be more accessible .
 Hope everyone is well ,
Thanks ,
Chris

Hey all I know this may be a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway.

The site we are on is not totally level, I'm in travel mode with slides out. (I'm sure most of you have hwh systems but just in case I'm posting here)

The valid panel shows we are level in travel mode but Im checking with my trusty four foot level and we are leaning some to the drivers side, its noticeable to me.  I was thinking that maybe I could go buy a 2x12 as a way to try and get the front on that side level.

What do you guys use if in that situation?

Thanks un advance

I have some questions about our coach. 
This is the first trip we have been on since taking ownership of the Newell. It’s suppose to be relaxing and it’s turning into a mechanical schooling instead, lol. 

There have been so many things happening in this shakedown. Although we have kept the dealership up to date on the issues we have been learning and we have been reading the manuals to help us have a better understanding of the coach. I still have some basic yet important procedure questions regarding some things to make sure I operate things correctly. 

1. When using the aqua hot system: once We have connected the coach to the city water source,  What do We do next to turn on the system and what buttons other than the button that says “city” water On the interior panel do We switch on while parked at an RV park? Also if We were boondocking how is that procedure different? 

2. We have a small leak in the full bath in the back around the seal of the escape hatch in the ceiling. What product do you suggest we use to seal it up best on the roof? 

3. When parked and connected to power and after using “travel“ to level the coach and extending out the slides, how do you suggest We lower the coach and dump the air?  Do We dump the air when parked for longer periods of time? What is the best practice etc. this coach has new airbags and those systems are working correctly. 

4. We had a pretty significant leak of hydraulic fluid on the back drivers side and it leaked in to the bedroom which we cleaned there is quite a bit of leaking on the side if the slide outside and it looked on the top of the slide outside of the seal. The seal appears to be holding so that’s good. 
-what should We clean it with 
-best procedure to close the slide with this Broken pin and/or leak (We have to close it to bring it to the mechanic you all suggested in central Florida and want to make sure it doesn’t leak everywhere once it may closed again. 

5. Kitchen sink hoses- we have sprung a significant leak under the sink and it rained into stove top in the lower bay where all those wires are. Once we have someone repair or replace the faucet and piping what do you suggest we protect or cover the underbelly wiring with once it’s all dry. 
Once discovered , Brian did turn off that part of the water to the galley. That was convenient so we could still use the the bathroom sink shower etc. 

So many thing to learn, thank you all for your wisdom,

I've just retired after 33 years of university teaching and hope to finally get a Newell (very used of course).  I look forward to browsing this forum and learning from the years of experience represented here. --  Bill

We are planning to be at the KOA , Laurel Lake in Corbin, KY this week. I’m wondering if any of my Newell friends will be there??

As the title says, I have a 02 #746 The fan control on the drivers side is on the lowest setting and will not respond to higher fan control positions.

Thus far I found a clicking relay on the small relay rack behind the dash (per Newell service), I replaced the relay, no change.

I swapped the drivers side blower control wiring over to the passengers side to make sure the switch was ok, I ran the passengers side on all speeds of the drivers switch control, it worked so the switch is ok.

We swapped the two resistors that were next to all the relays no change in drivers side blower, assuming two resistors for the two blower controls, no change.

I am not sure what else to try at this point, other than rerouting the pass side into the drivers in the short term. I know that is not the fix. but it'll only be a few months before the fall is here and one definitely need to have a working defrost system to clear those windows up front. 

I am unable to check the resistor at the blower motor cause well I cant even see the thing. I am assuming there is a resistor at the motor, could be wrong on this.

I am not afraid to tear the dash down but I just have no idea how its all put together and I don't want to break something yanking on it. I've asked Creslie if there are any step by step directions, I kind of doubt it since each rig is different

Oh the joy of trying to fix things, nothing like having cold ac but not have the cool running over your face cause you cant move the air!! LOL, LOL  not funny but if I don't laugh I may cry!


Fanless in Elk Grove

it seems that newell has a specific hydraulic pump on our coaches that is made just for newell.  btw,  the pump is the black squarish thing on the bottom right of the engine.  with the huge hydraulic lines coming off of it.  you would need to make sure yours is the same as who knows if they might have made a few different ones.  

it is made by Geariek.    and sold to only one distributor in tulsa oklahoma

part number is GT7899    

the distributor is 

Hydraquip Distribution - Tulsa OK (918) 663-3661

when i called geariek and gave them the part number he said immediately it is for a newell coach.  

it is much cheaper to buy directly from hydraquip than from newell.   enourmously cheaper.  

sounds like they either stock only one or none but geariek said they can make one in 1-2 weeks.
