Are you guys on here??

I had a 34' Newmar Ventanna that would scrape my driveway upon entry and departure due to a drop in elevation from the garage to the street and a slight dip just before the driveway meets the street. As I contemplate the purchase of a Newell, I know that I will have the same issue, if not worse, based upon the additional length of the vehicle and longer spacing between the front and rear axles. So here's my question as I contemplate an acquisition and a major driveway renovation for a new (to me) coach:

Other than a dead flat driveway (which I do not have and cannot make), what's the steepest pitch that a 45' Newell can safely navigate without scraping the front or back when coming/going? Math and I have never seen eye-to-eye so trying to calculate the solution to this problem is not something that I could ever realistically accomplish. I would think that this would be a universal issue, the answer to which would benefit all (Newell) coach owners. Has anyone done this?

Best,

Kevin

Wannabe Coach Owner (for now)

The bus was built for Nascar Driver Wade Burton to the tune of 1.2 mil and traded in 2003 back at Newell for a dual slide coach.
Frank Merrill from Wyoming who owns several Quarter Show horses farms under the M5 brand, bought it after Newell put his colors on it- White Yellow and navy blue. Frank owned it until about 2010 when Rick V out of Destin FL bought it and took it on the racing circuit where his 3 boys raced in motocross events. By the end of 2017, Rick decided to sell it since the boys were done racing, and we bought it. Started with the mechanical, pneumatic, full service, new windshields, upgrades outside and inside......

Both times (another story) I have replaced my radiator the bottom connection for the transmission cooler has been a source of leaks. The leak occurs where the 3/4NPT pipe screws into the transmission cooler on the radiator. This joint is further complicated by the fact that a TEE is on the other end of pipe nipple, and the TEE is where the transmission temp is taken for the gauge on the dash. You can’t just spin the nipple to make it tighter without the TEE hitting the fan shroud. And I added a longer nipple so that I could spin it completely around. 

Needless to say, ATF oozing into the engine bay, dispersed by the fan, makes a pretty good mess. I was motivated to stop this leak. All kinds of thread sealant were tried, teflon tape was tried, cleaning up the threads with a tap was tried. All my attempts would drip just a bit when the engine got hot. 

I found Loctite 545. It’s made specifically for hydraulic fittings. It does set once cured, so some force will be required to break it loose. So far, the fitting is dry as a bone. You won’t find it at Lowes/HD or any local parts place. You can get it on Amazon or McMaster Carr. 

I think it would also work for a pesky air fitting, but I haven’t used it in that application.

Hello Newbie Here, Sadly we need to sell our 1997 Newell Coach. I have information and pictures. I am not sure where to post them here. Any advice would be appreciated

I have my coach plugged in at home and just noticed that the the 2 gauges (line 1 and 2) above the drivers seat were not showing power.  The inverter shows 13.65 and my outside surge protector shows 122 and 120 on each line going in.  Also shows about 5 amps used on line 2.  I turned off the shore power and fired up the generator with the same results, the line 1 and 2 lights on the generator control panel above the driver seat not lit as it usually is.  Now for my question - would having the front, middle and rear air conditioner breakers turned off cause this?  My middle AC unit went out, so while new parts are ordered, the shop turned all 3 breakers off.  I ask this because on a recent trip, the middle AC breaker tripped, and I saw that line 2 power was out.  Reset the breaker and had line 2 power back on.  Any ideas short of turning the 3 breakers back on to see any changes?  Thanks.

Hello all,

Looking for the 100% scale drawing to download and make or if anybody has one to sell, I am interested in finding the plexiglass lock for the shower door.

Anybody ?
Thanks
