Hi Newell Gurus
Thankyou for having us!

 We are David and Mimi and excitedly just purchased our first NEWELL!! It is a 2001 3 slide Newell number 590


We drove it 3 hrs home today without event and look forward to learning 
and contributing to the forum. 


David and Mimi

Ok, This is my first post and not very good at this but my brother and sister in law Jeff and Pam have incouraged me to get my question answered here.We have coach 502 double slide that we bought from our friends that we traveled with for years and we've been touching up small things and learning about the systems . The one thing that isn't working is the head hunter mach 5,it comes on but no pressure.So I have read the post about the head hunter and priming it.I took the priming plug out and its below the water level in the tank so water came out so is it primed? I took it out and pulled the pump side off to see anything obvious it looked good to me.And also the 12 v pump won't shut off after the demand and no obvious leaks.Is there a exploded veiw of the head hunter?

Hello All, my wife and I just purchased a 72 Newell Coach with  391 FT and Allison MT40 6 speed. Block is busted but turns over. We have lots of work to do and looking forward to all the adventures this RV will take us. I'll post some pics and more questions for all you 70's model gurus, especially some suggestions on what drivetrain I should convert to or rebuild the existing 391!

Hello Gurus,

Fairly new here. What is the correct travel height on our coaches? Mine seems pretty low in the back end. The hitch seems to drag quite often going across curbs and backing up a small incline.

[attachment=7306][attachment=7305]Some of the laminate on the door facings into our rear bathroom doorway was coming off so we decided there was no better time than the present to repair it.  Purchased some LocTite epoxy and prepared to go to work.  It was rather intimidating to note on the instructions that you only had 40 seconds to "get-er-done" after you started applying the epoxy. There's more than one place on the doorway to work on, but decided to tackle the largest one first.  I faced the laminate with blue painter's tape so if it oozed out on top I could pull it off.  Assembled my tools...a butter knife, Q-tips, nail polish remover (acetone), emory board, (lol) and...some great clamps and a 2x6 faced with tape, (in case it might get stuck), for even pressure on the length of the gap. The epoxy says it "reaches usable strength in 5 minutes", but just in case they were lying, and because it was on the curve of the doorway, we left over night and are very happy with the results.  I could scarcely wait to look. Now on to the places that have less area to fix on the other side of the doorway.  ----Lynda

         P.S.  My first attempt was with Gorilla Clear Grip and it was unsuccessful.  It says it permanently bonds in just seconds, but I didn't find that to be true at least not in the case of a vertical situation. I kept it clamped for about 6 hours and it popped right open again. I had used the LocTite before on a smaller area by the kitchen, so I knew it worked, but the lenght of the delamination in the bathroom scared me because of the 40 second work time.
         
  I couldn't get the photos to post in the correct order, so the first picture is the result of my labors.

Hello everyone!

I’ve been lurking here for a good bit. I spent a good bit of time looking for a coach before I happened upon the Newell brand. Very glad I did!  I wound up purchasing coach #419 from Motorhomes of Texas. You good folks have been an invaluable source of information during my hunt for a good Newell. I’d also like to thank the Opels for taking very good care of the coach until it was my turn.  Hopefully I’ll do as well with it. 

A bit about me here. I’m in a somewhat unusual situation. I work in film and so I work on a project for a few months and then take a few months off.  I never seem to live and work in the same place, so I wound up with a vintage 1985 Toyota chassis RV. It’s great for boondocking in crew parking for work but a bit short for square footage.  While working on a film last year that involved a big fleetwood pusher, I really started to think about full time. That led to big coaches, which eventually brought me here.  Ideally, this summer Kenda and I will switch to full time in our new to us home.  We’ll park while I work and meander when I don’t  

Sorry for grammar and spelling errors. Stupid tiny phone typing.

Hello All!,  

We currently own a 01 National Islander. I've been a lurker here for a few years & I've always loved the Newell. My DW and I are entering our retirement years and we'd like to transition into full time in the next year or so. We have owned three rigs in the past 6 years and now we are looking to get into the Newell family.

I am a custom home designer for the last 35 years, I drive a school bus in N. California by day and run two airbnb apartments the rest of the time so I have a busy life. I love buying and rebuilding exotic cars as a hobby (wife not always happy about that but she let's me anyway) LOL 

We both love glamping and remodeling RV's.

Thus far everyone that I have reached out to has been really kind and helpful in guiding me on our hunt for the right Newell for us. I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions and I can't wait to meet the Newell family in person.

Hi there,

Presently I own an 88 Wanderlodge WB and have had it for 5 years. Looking at getting into a Newell, 2007 to potentially a new build.
