I am shopping for a Newell and found this on Facbook Marketplace.

It is a 1990 apparently ?  Not too far from me over the boarder in California.

Anyhoo, What detroit would it have back in 1990 ?

Hello everyone, this is Hutch.  I am from the UK and am looking for a Newell coach to purchase.  I am looking for a solid running project that I can upgrade and catch up on maintaining as I live aboard !!

I am reasonably handy and can certainly DIY most things.  I need to absorb as much knowledge about the Newell's altough after watching a few Youtubers it seems they are all very different due to bespoke designs.

Anyhoo, If you see me online, I am absorbing as much information as I can.  I have just watched the Youtube explanation of the Newell Air system in detail.

I have NOT purchased one yet, I want a Detroit Series 60.  There are a few on RV Trader, and budget is not going to stretch to anything mid naughties !!

Good morning

I’m new to the Newell family having bought my first one just a few months ago. I’m having issues with the televator (tv lift). The tv lift is an activated decor lift.  I was out camping and lost all power one evening, while the tv was up. After restoring power, the tv lift will not go back down. When I flip the switch to retract the tv it just makes a beeping sound. It seems like I may need to do a reset or reprogram the limits or something along those lines. Problem is I don’t have a manual in all my info. I’ve called activated decor and received a voicemail where I left a message. After no response I emailed their info email address and still have not received any response from them. It’s been about 10 days now. Does anyone on here have a manual or a procedure for setting limits or resetting the lift? I’ve read that there is a control box for these and there is a reset inside that box, but I don’t seem to see any type of box in the tv cabinet area. I have attached a photo of the remote control for the lift.

   
If anybody has some light covers like this that you would part with I am interested. I need several and would pay a fair price!!

                   
I spent my spare time over the winter updating 316.
I installed a Growatt 6k invertor/charger and an LG mini-split system. The pics show the condenser unit (24k BTU) in the bay that formerly held four of the six house batteries. It draws air up through the floor behind the unit. You can see the ducting next to the battery rack. The air is then exhausted out the side. The next bay houses the Growatt, the two Litime 8D size 24 volt Lithium batteries, two Victron 48/12 volt charge controllers that feed 12 volt to charge the two 8D AGM house batts and the engine start batts. The inside pics show the low-wall mounted unit(15k BTU) positioned just behind the driver seat and an upper wall unit(9k BTU) on the back wall in the rear bedroom. I have eight 450 watt solar panels that I plan to install ASAP.
All work was done by me in my shop with the help of a couple buddies who assisted with routing the refrigerant lines. I was quite challenged because much of the skills needed were learn as I go.... Trial and error!!!
I would like to thank Jack Houpe for helping me with most of the technical decisions, patiently explaining how things work, helping me correct my mistakes, and "talking me off the ledge" about midway through when the project seemed overwhelming!!

Hey gurus, What are the options when a windshield gets cracked or broken? 

Thanks!

I got off the horn with Valid a little earlier regarding the Pressure Switch Failure error resulting in the Curbside Salon Slide not cycling through(it would only drop the floor). I swapped pressure switches(SMC) from the rear slide to the front, and still got the error(even after cycling all power off/on). It turns out that all you need to do is Press and Release the Shift button once, then press and release the Slide/Select button once to reset the error. Some gurus may have known this already, but I was getting pretty anxious until Craig at Valid called me back. This may also work to reset other errors as well. I just kept laughing at how easy it was.

For the life of me, I can't find the 15.5" X 7" shoes for the front brakes. I may have to upgrade to the 16 1/2" drums and shoes and was wondering if anybody has done the switch? I'm primarily interested in what it cost, sourcing of parts and the degree of difficulty. I found a guy in Florida who will fabricate the linings and bond and rivet them to the shoes. The cost is $185 p/shoe X 4 plus $180 shipping each way. It is almost a thousand dollars to get the remanufactured shoes. I was thinking the upgrade may be a little more, but may be worth it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

i am considering a 2009 Newell #1280.  if anyone has any info and or history on it i would  appreciate feedback.  
thanks in advance.

I am looking at a 07 that had a leaking window. Coach was stored outside so it has some water damage in the slide where the window was. The board under the window has water damage (and mold) and I am sure there is water damage on the floor as well as carpet will need to be replaced and of course all the interior damaged wood. I am sure all of this can be repaired but a bit concerned. I am tossed buying it if the price is awesome or just not even getting involved. What are your thoughts? Is this something to walk away from or something to consider if the price is right? Any thought and comments are much appreciated.
