Shortly after plugging in at the last three campgrounds we have tripped the pedestal breaker. We were pulling about 30 amps on each leg (translation....AC's on high).

The dead giveaway that the breaker is the problem is to put your hand on the breaker. If you can't hold on finger on it because it is too hot to touch, then the problem is theirs. Luckily I have not had to argue with any of the campgrounds about replacing them.

This only applies to coaches with the old GM style steering column that Newell used prior to going to the Smart Wheel. I found an adjustment inside the dash that allows you to tilt the entire column back and forward about an inch at the column attachment mount. An inch of movement at the mount makes about three inches at the wheel. There is a angled metal bracket that is bolted to the steel under the dash. The angle bracket has slots in it. Loosen the four bolts and it will move a little back and forward. You will have to remove the dash cover to see it. 

I am a short guy with long torso, short legs and arms. I had to sit really close to the dash to be able to comfortably drive. By moving the steering wheel back, I am sitting about two inches further back. Doesn't sound like much but it's a dramatic improvement with regard to leg angle to the pedals, shoulder comfort, and I can actually see the gauges on the dash now.

We are almost finished with the purchase of Newell 420, a 1996 45' no slide.  Would be done now but the 4th slowed us down.

My wife and I have been looking at Class A coaches for a month and had spent last weekend looking at used Tiffin Busses, Monarch Diplomats, and Newmar Mountain Aires. We had just about settled on the Newmar when I typed a different set of parameters in the search engine and 420 popped up just 12 miles away.  Our lucky day!


I grew up in a town 20 miles North of the factory in Miami and returned there for a while after being in the Army.  I drove by lots of times but never thought some day I be in one.


Planning a few short trips this fall, mostly to Colorado, but early next year, look out America!

Quad slide, bath and a half, bunk beds, all porcelain tile flooring, $1,350,000  (Note, previous photos from Newell had a somewhat different color balance and showed to be less gray inside slightly warmer but I don't know which is the correct color balance)

For umpteen years I always thought there should be coaches for sale with 1.5 baths.  I have seen a couple used Newells currently on the market that now have this feature.  Does anyone know what year they began this feature?

I appreciate all your historical knowledge!

Grearing gurus I seem to be having a problem with the front basement air. We are in New Mexico and it’s hot and the salon will not pull down below 84 with thermostat set at 74. The fan is blowing the temp coming our of the vent over the fridge is at 80, we had the new relays put in last year so where do I start looking? Also when running the gen with two ac the temp on the gen goes almost 220. Is there a circuit the turn on the compressors? Last question we are heading to the factory now and I know that Richard is making new boards so if I need one can I buy one from you.  Please let me know if you are out there Richard Thanks Joe with one upset wife.

All,
When driving during the Summer with the generator running how many roof airs are turned on? In late May I used roof air number 1 for seven hours and stayed comfortable, but last week tried the same routine and the temperature inside the Newell go to 85. The day I was traveling the outside temperature was in the mid 70's. Looking for suggestions. Thank in you in advance.
