I'm looking at a coach that has a rear bath and the only way to access it when closed up is to crawl over the bed?  Is this normal?  Is there some kind of workaround?  Not a deal killer, but certainly inconvenient. 

Thx

Gregg

Hey, so I am pretty new to my coach but I think I have a rear air leak.  After leveling, I can hear it letting out air somewhere.  I will need to get this fixed, but in the meantime, how low to the ground can I be and still drive the coach safely?

I need to be able to drive the coach from St Louis to Pennsylvania to get it titled and registered and I can't wait here to get it repaired because shops can't fit me in until a month or more.  I want to make sure I can safety drive it.

I called Newell and the service tech told me some way to check to see if the height was ok, but I have no idea what he was talking about.  He said something about some tube or bar that you could measure 12 inches from the ground and that would be good, but I don't know what he is talking about as I don't see anything that looks like what he said.

Any help would be appreciated.

Headhunter no longer offers the Mark5 pump rebate

Good morning I am the owner of #751
I have 4 roof AC units. When all slides are extended while parked AC is adequate. However when traveling with 8-10 guests the cabin heats up. Most of the vents are compromised when the slides are all retracted? Has anyone experienced this? Probably. Does anyone have a solution for this situation? Thank you

Any other Hams here? I just received my FCC license. KK7VAW. I am going to apply for the General next. We have a contract on our house so all hobbies will be halted for quite a while. Of course that doesn't stop me from looking at what radio to get for the bench

I have read many threads about air bags for a 96. The number1r11 066 is from what im finding obsolete or hard to find. I am looking for a locally sourced alternative. I read somewhere about using a 1r12?  Ive also seen reference to  to different  inlet sizes but i haven't found availability for any!  If anyone has CURRENT numbers or sources for all the bags on a 96 please list them. Id really appreciate it.

Hello All,

Been retired for sometime now and my wife just retired last month. So, we are now on the hunt (been researching Newell for about 9 months now)

Don't get me wrong - older Country Coach, Monaco and Beavers are nice but - come on now - A Newell  

Last month we completed a tour at Newell in OK. Thanks was icing on the cake - what great people (felt like family) 

We are looking for at least a 2 slide coach that has been well maintained - age and milage not important but how it was cared for is.

The Kicker is we have about a 100K budget / may be able to move that up a bit for the right coach.

Thanks for all your help and the great information this site has/ is giving me for my research!

Best,

Gary

Let’s start with Rhonda does a pretty good job of keeping my ego in check.. Even with that, I sometimes have to reflect on the stupidity of something I have done to cut me down to size. 

I spent all day yesterday in such an exercise. 

Let’s start with the background. Some years ago I installed a fancy bidet attachment on the rear potty that required the potty seat to be spaced upward another 1/4 or so. I glued some hard rubber to the “feet” on the potty seat, and that worked well for five or more years. Not attractive, but it worked. Time goes by and the potty seat developed cracks that would pinch your behind if you shifted just right while seated. 

Did I say we had the stupidest color of potties ever conceived, black? 

You don’t go to Lowes and get a black potty seat. No it requires an Amazon delivery, which must be carefully coordinated with our travel schedule. Ok, it’s here and the story begins. Sorry about the preamble. 

Rhonda casually mentions the previous spacer design was hard to clean. Ok, got it. I got the bright idea to use some 1 inch diameter rubber chair tips in black of course. I carefully cut them to the right height, used plastic compatible epoxy, and epoxied them to the underside of the seat. It worked great. 

For a while. As you know, it’s hard to glue anything to injection molded plastic. Bride announces that two of the four spacers are missing. Hmmmmmmmm. Holding the flapper open I was able to fish one of them out with some long pliers. But the other one was not to be found. In my pathological optimism, I imagined it flushing all the way into the waste tank. I was soon to discover that was not the case. Rhonda flushed the potty the next day, and water gushed out from under the base of the potty. If you are familiar with the Microphor design, you understand that means the hopper is compromised in some way and the discharge line is blocked. 

Out comes the potty, and I caught a break. The missing spacer is exactly the right diameter to perfectly plug the discharge. At least I don’t have to try to get it out of the discharge line to the waste tank. The large o ring that seals the hopper halves is blown out, and the screws that hold the halves together are stripped out of the plastic. Folks, this is not a tank that has been holding distilled water for the last 25 years. But it has to been cleaned up before reassembly with stainless bolts and nuts. That was my time of reflection on how stupid it was to try to epoxy the spacers on plastic, how stupid it was to use BLACK spacers, and how stupid it was to use a spacer large enough to plug the discharge. 

All is good, reinstalled, and functional. And I have had a nice long hot shower.

I am looking for an amplifier for 4/5G (LTE) AND WiFi in one unit. Does NOT need to have a Sim card slot nor routing capability. 

I am looking to take my phone's hotspot and use it in the coach. I already have a working router, just need better signal in our aluminum "faraday" cage of a coach.

So I need better signal inside for cellular. AND I'd like to have it do WiFi amplification as well, for when the campground has it's own WiFi since my mobile router, when inside has an artificially shortened range.

Does this animal exist? Manufacturer? Model number(s)

Thanks!

All,
As most of you know, we sold our beloved Newell due to a health scare I had last year.  Our travel plans and family commitments still require us to use an RV.  Our main concern is Doris would not drive the Newell as it is too intemidating.  We looked, at length, the B, B+, C, C+ and Super C offerings and at 6'6" tall concluded the headroom was an issue for me in those units.  We settled down to looking at 35' to 38' class A single rear axle for maneuverability.  Still loving the Newell quality feel the market gets pretty narrow.  We zeroed in on the 2001 to 2007 Wanderlodge, Foretravel and Country Coach with a mid 90s Prevost hankering as a possibility if the right unit came up.  Having said all this, we found a 2007  37' Country Coach Tribute that has 36,000 miles.  We took delivery at the beginning of this month and the first project was to do a Propane Refrigerator delete and install a residential fridge in its place.  Now that is done we are off on a three night short hop next week to get a feel for the coach.
