I have a 1996. Is this the rear access panel to my generator compartment?
We pull a new to us 2005 Continental enclosed 26 ft trailer for our car and toys and everything else that won't fit in the coach. We pulled it 10 thousand miles last year, and I think it's time to inspect and service the axles. Today we put new Goodyear Endurance Trailer tires on it, and sent the "China bomb" tires to the recycler .It has two Dexter 5000 pound axles, that have Dexter Ezlube grease systems. Being old school, I have always pulled brake drums, removed, inspected and cleaned bearings and hand packed them with fresh grease, installing a new seal . Any experience with this Ezlube system? Sounds to good to be true.
Thinking about buying a Winegard booster.
Anyone have any experience with this product?
I'm not a Newell owner yet, but keep gravitating towards them. My wife is from Chelsea, OK, which is about 50 miles SW of Miami so it would be disloyal of her to purchase one made elsewhere. At least that is what I keep telling her. We are in OK pretty frequently and would like to make a run down to Miami to visit their shop.
Our preferences lean more towards a mid-entry coach around 40ft in length but I do like the bath and half floorplan as well. Newell has a good looking 2011 model (1415) that is the mid-entry and bath and 1/2 but a little longer than we prefer. MOT has a 2005 40 footer as well but would need some remodeling. All about finding the right floor plan.
Glad I found this site that is specific to Newell. Definitely has helped me wade through a lot of valuable information.

Hi all,
I have been camping in Montana and have seen a tremendous increase in the leak down rate of the air system. I'm now getting just over 1.3 minutes of compressor off time and about 1.25 minutes on time. I had the system performing in excess of the 45 minute rate just last month. I am on my way to Vancouver B.C. and need a shop with a pit that can search out the leaks. I cannot get under the coach well enough to find the problem.
Spokane would be a good stop for me or the Seattle area.
Regards,
Mike
Just trying to figure out if a 2009 Newell with a GVWR of 63,302 and supposed Unloaded/Full Tank weight of $57,990 = a CCC of 5,312. If that is true, would this coach be able to pull a stacker-trailer?
Curious if these numbers look correct/typical
Front axial is actual 18,750 vs rated 21,000
Drive actual is 24,900 vs rated 28,840
Tag actual is 14,320 vs 18,260 rated
Just curious if this coach has enough weight capacity to pull one....
Any comments would be appreciated...
Dometic 320 toilet , bought new and installed a little over a year ago. Worked fine on three trips last year, but now the bowl won't hold water . Cleaned flush ball and seal , replaced seal , tried petroleum jelly . Still leaks . New seal was not from Dometic.
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

RVTrader has a Newell listed as a 1986 model but the listed VIN is correct and is a 1987 sequence number 22.

A big "hello" to all the gurus here! Even though we are new members, we have been reading these posts and threads for quite a while. We knew we wanted a good diesel pusher to do some serious travelling (leading to possible full-timing). After about two years of serious thinking, talking, looking, planning, shopping, examining, questioning, looking some more, etc., we knew there were only a few coaches that we would be considering. I am one of those who like to do a lot of research before making an important decision like this, and was extremely impressed with everything we found out (and experienced) about the Newells. Long story short, we found what we need AND want in Newell Coach #697.
She may be 15 years old, but still in great shape. Going to be taking her "home" to Newell for a few upgrades and modifications, then on to some fantastic adventures!
The knowledge and wisdom here from the Newell Gurus has been a huge help already, and looking forward to interacting with and getting to know many of you in the future!
