Our older #277 has a Dometic DN1070 ice maker that began leaking under the cabinets. The cause of the water leak was an over heated plastic water line.

The reason for this post and other owners to watch is the condition of the ice maker coils. This unit pulls in air on the left side of the grill and the hot air exhausts on the right side.

The problem was the coils were COMPLETELY clogged!! They didn't appear to have been cleaned since the coach was built in 1991. There was no filter and you have to lay on the floor to be able to see the coils after you remove the small grill.

After removing unit, cleaning of the fins and a new water line, it works well.

Even if you don't have this particular unit, ensure your ice maker's coils are cleaned or filtered!

Good luck and miles,
Danny

Just saw a nice silver Newell heading down the Sterling highway in Alaska south of Soldotna.  Anyone from the forum?

After running the A/C on our 96 overnight, I noticed three large puddles beneath the middle of the coach.  I looked under as best I could and it appeared water was dripping from the undercoating.  It seemed strange that it would be designed that way.  I thought there would be tubes or pipes to gain separation from the undercarriage.

All,
Took coach to Newell in late October 2018 because of air leaks. A technician spent 8 hours chasing air leaks. At the end of the day the technician showed me the fittings that were replaced and the areas of the coach that they came from. Also, on this trip one of the auxiliary air compressors was replaced. It had over two thousand hours.
Last Tuesday I went out to the coach and paid attention to the frequency that the air compressor came on and how long it ran. I called and talked with the service department and they made some recommendations.
Last Tuesday the air compressor had 200 hours and today it had 213.5 hours.  A bottle of soapy water sprayed on the air compressor bay fittings revealed no leaks.  I took a stop watch with me and timed how often the compressor was on and how long it ran. The compressor would come on every five minutes and thirty seconds and run for thirty seconds. I got the same reading several times. I then switched to the other auxiliary air compressor and got the same readings.  
Any suggestions?  Input welcome.  Got an appointment to take the coach to Newell in September.

My main awning will no activate in or out. 

Talked to Newell and Girard about the location of the control box. I was given left or right in front and in cabinets near the door, mid-entry, rear fuse box area. no luck

I've looked every and the only thing I could find was the remote for the anemometer.

I thought I check with those who have something near coach 660 to see if anyone might know where the controller is.  

my phone no. is 830-534-8459 if anything comes to mind.

thanks

We just got back from a three day trip and parked the coach ran the slides out all seemed fine, till it rained.  We had a deluge in the living room coming from the top of the slide.  Knowing the seal inflated correctly, I pulled the valance and inspected the hook engagement.  The slide room hook hit the coach frame just below the hook well prior full deployment and did not engage up into the hook well, causing the slide room top rail to cant. 
   


Sent an email to Richard outlining my plan to fix this issue and make sure I would not tear something up in the process. 

Retracted the slide and built a Tee-Brace to jack up the center of the slide frame.  Wrapped the Tee part of the brace with padding to keep from marking the ceiling panel.  Loosened the sheet metal screws on the hook metal stiffener. Using a floor jack was able to over spring the top slide room inner frame by 3".  Doing this picked up approximately 3/8" when the jack was removed.
   

Back to the jack I jacked up the 3" again and removed the already loosened sheet metal screws and replaced the one at a time with a pan head, structural steel, self drilling screw (Ace Hardware).  These screws are high tensile & shear strength screws with a counter sunk area that nests into the already countersunk holes.  Also added several of the same screws in the hook area to help alleviate the canting of the hook if it hits too hard.  I still had the 3/8" positive engagement but felt like hook would not move.

Hi Gurus,
I am in Buffalo NY and have developed a leaky radiator. Does anyone have any contact info for repair? I am planning on heading to the Detroit area if I can't get if fixed here so I could also use a contact there.
Thanks for any help.

hello, 

I am looking for a supplier for windshields for my 66 Streamline Travel Home, this is very similar to a 1968-69 Newell, and I have bought windshields from Newell before and I cannot get them to return a phone call or reply to the parts request form on their website. A local vintage RV resto company broke one of them trying to install for me, that’s a whole nother story.  Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Good Morning, 
 
My name is Don, and I am from the central coast of California, I live in a town called Atascadero. My coach is not a Newell, but it has the DNA that Newell’s were created with. I am the proud owner of a 1966 Streamline Travel Home. I have owned the coach for almost 20 years and have never spent one night in it due to the fact it needed a tremendous amount of work. During this time, I have done a complete mechanical overhaul of the power-train, which is a Ford  331 industrial engine with a cruise-o-Matic transmission. I have upgraded the wheels from 16” to 19.5” and added dual wheels on the rear. Tires are Michelins. Brake system and all motor/trans mounts are new also. I also have stripped all the clear coat off in advance of polishing the exterior. The interior has been freshened up with birch paneling, and I have had a professional RV restoration shop replace all the RV systems. AC units, Dometic refrigerator, tank less water heater, furnace, new freshwater holding tanks, new black tanks, and toilet. New flooring has been installed, and I converted the two rear twin beds into a single bed that is almost as big as a cal-king mattress. I had a custom mattress with the curved corners made by an excellent company in Bakersfield. I also added a 6.5KW Onan to replace the original unit.  All of this RV system work is happening as we speak, and I hope to get to finally take the coach out and use it in August sometime. Like many people on here I have several other interests besides RVs, I enjoy high-Performance boats and cars and have a family which includes three adult daughters and a couple of grand kids. I have been lurking on here for a bit, and I enjoy the content. Thank you, and I hope to see you out on the road. I will post more detailed pics in the next few weeks as I get closer to being able to use the coach. I  have had a tremendous love/hate relationship with this thing, and I surmise that coupled with my other interests is why it has taken so long to get it usable. Thanks for letting me share with you.
