I have coach 458, replacing front drums and brakes, anybody know the brake drum replacement number?   97 newell

Control overview.
panel at the drivers position. At the top,4 bat handled center return momentary contact switches, forward=fill, back=dump. bottom left switch 2 position bat handled toggle, forward= manual, back= automatic (road). bottom left switch 2 position bat handled toggle. forward=on for the auxiliary air compressor, back =off
KIP relay's, Bendix hardware
2 sets of "six pack" 12vdc EP's (manual and automatic fill and dump relay's. one fore and one aft.
4 newer bags all around. 4 in back 2 in front.

Current issues.
1. air leaks off overnight while in manual.
2. uneven fill performance of air bags. drivers back takes a very long time and never reaches maximum height. All dump operations work at the same speed.

Current repairs
1. I installed new plunger's/seats and springs in the KIP solenoid six packs.
2. Replace the air/moisture bleeder on the main air tank.

Current request for help.
I would like to find, a parts list (Bendix) for the air leveling system. Bag fill relay.. various other leveling related controls and parts. I would also like to find a power and control schematic diagram for the manual and automatic leveling system, electrical and pneumatic.

I realize this coach is dated. Still I would like to have these parts and drawings so I can complete repairs.

Thank You Brion

Like the title says. Lots of you probably wondered where i went. I've spent the last few months getting things done on my house so I can sell it and move. They came yesterday to get pictures of the house so it could be listed. Pictures 41-43 sure make the Newell in the driveway look good.

My slides on the outside are flush at the bottom but either in or out at the top on a couple corners. Any thoughts or suggestions? 

Thanks!

Saw a 96? or so gray 45' towing a black Jeep heading south of Polson, MT today on Hwy 93. I was in my '06 Monaco white/green heading north.
Anybody here?

My contactors are failing but I believe I found replacements. I can’t tell if the coil on these is 12v or 120v. Any insight? I’m camped out at a former neighbors yard in Mesa AZ. No shore power or hookups. The suns heat is on and if this completely fails, I will lose AC since the generator won’t pass power to the circuits. Does anyone know of the coils are 120v for this era? I haven’t seen one in 12v coil configuration which is why I ask and I do not have a voltmeter on board from the move.

Hi folks, I’ve been tied up with other things and haven’t had much time to browse the forum for some time.

I am in Greenville, TX 75402. My place is near Highway I-30 (Exit #97).

I have space and electrical (50 amp) and water hookups available, so I'd like to welcome fellow Newell owners to stop by or for a short stay.
And I have a garden here where you can pick up some fresh vegetables if you come at the right season.

Hello all,

Our AH has been getting louder during operation, so I decided to replace the bearings using a 5 year rebuild kit for the burner that I found on heatmyrv.com.

I've gotten everything apart and the bearings are nice and smooth but the combustion air motor is very "notchy" when I spin it. 

My first instinct is to replace the motor, but I wanted to double check with you all first.

The shaft on the motor turns fine, but feels like I'm turning a knob that has a detent for different positions.  Idk I'd that makes any sense but I don't think it should feel like that.

Thanks!

Tyler Phillips

I finally found the hidden coach number located in the closet framing, by the breaker box. I can't make out if the number is 22 or 27 though.
