Hello all. I have been researching and reading on the Guru site for several months. You guys are a wealth of knowledge which is much appreciated! 
I am ready to buy a Newell 2004 - 2006 coach. My only requirement is the steerable tag and quad slides. If I didn't feel that strongly about the steerable tag I would consider older years as I think they look nicer and would be simpler to repair/maintain. Will be our first Coach and will be full time for a while so steerable tag would be a big comfort in the tighter areas. I would prefer the DD-60 but wouldn't turn down a CAT and prefer the older body style but not a deal breaker either. I do most of my own repairs plumbing, mechanical, electrical as I own a farm so fixing stuff is not too big of a deal to me however I want as nice of a vehicle as I can find so I don't have to be too much of a repairman anymore.

I live in Vermont and there are no Newells anywhere even close to look at. Actually there are very few large motorhomes up here, only 5th wheels so its been tough. Willing to buy from anywhere in the US.
I am ready to buy when the right vehicle is available. My budget depends on the vehicle condition.

Any guidance, advice or wisdom would be very welcome and appreciated.

Thanks

Since this coach is, virtually, in my back yard, I'm sure that I've never seen anything on it, before....unless I missed it, here. I actually think I might know the owner of the storage facility where it was abandoned. Shame...

i did a very un scientific analysis on how much my 120v compressor is used.  

i have been sitting in the same place for nearly 4 months.  

on april 7 i decided to take a picture of my compressor hour meter.  i did the same thing today on july 23rd.  107 days

on july 23, it was 1870.3 hours

on april 7  it was 1798.8 hours

so has run 71.5 hours

107 days        and runs for about 5 minutes each time    so 71.5x60/5=  858 times  but to be honest i have not really timed how long it runs.  if it was 4 minutes it would have been 10 times a day.   

858/107= 8 times a day

so every 3 hours or every 2.4 hours    or something like that it runs for

i have 2 air power toilets, a bode air entrance door, two interior air pocket doors, a bay fridge on air slide.....all of which we use.  the doors get opened and closed alot.  toilets get flushed alot.  etc.  plus i dump the sewer tank every 3-4 days.  leveling system is not in autolevel.  

in that 107 days we have been gone from the coach for 3 days once, 2 days once, and a few all day times.   we are gone from 7am to 1pm everyday.    and i did try using the 12v compressor only for a couple of days......so throw all that in your calculating minds.  none of which i included in my calculations.  

so like i said, not very controlled 

for your reading pleasure

 I'm doing maintenance on my coach #710 2004. I have 3 roof AC units and I am having trouble locating the filters. Any idea where to look? What other maintenance should I do?

Thanks

I need to replace our in dash radio and upgrade to a radio/CD player. I do want to keep the passenger controls for the unit.
Has anyone replaced this unit with an upgrade?

I have a 1996 Coach 428 and have some questions about the air system.  My coach has a Air Comp switch on the dash that turns on a compressor in the front of the coach and continues to run because the coach is releasing air in the engine battary compartment. The air release in the battary compartment releases air, even when the gauge is below 50 PSI.  There is also a compressor in  the Aquahot bay and the gauge  shows 5 PSI after setting for a week.  When driving the coach, the brake air and other air gauge go to over 100 PSI, not sure exactly, but appear to be working well.   

I will post some pictures and maybe it will help explain what's going on with the air system and how it all works together.  I would appreciate someone giving me a general overview of the Newell air system, compressors, purpose, appropriate air pressures, when air should be released, and how to adjust if necessary?  

Thanks,
Jerry

Hey Guys,
I have a couple of questions concerning the way Newell grounds their electrical systems.  I hope that I can articulate what thinking....so please bear with me.

AC grounds - Just like a house, the AC electrical has a white/neutral wire and a bare/green ground that returns back the the main circuit breaker panel.  Is the neutral bus and the ground bus bar grounded somewhere on the frame?  If so where?  Or, is the AC ground dependent on being grounded through the AC source i.e. shore/generator?  I am asking this to clarify if we can use the ground bar in the AC electrical panel as a DC ground source?   Would there be any problems mixing the two ground sources?

Thanks
Steve

Hello all. I had a company come out and change the rear air bags on my 1999 today. I ordered the bags from Newell. Once done, I cranked the coach, hit the HWH and nothing. The travel light turned green but couldn't raise the coach. When you look underneath, you can see the bags aren't inflated. I suspect the six-pack, but I don't know. It's dark, so we left the coach with jacks so it doesn't bottom out. Any ideas?

Hello All,
Wanted to get your opinions on a replacement toilet(s) for our Microphor Air Toilet LF210? We are looking to update to the current offering.... what is Newell currently using?

Thanks
Steve
