Private bath 86,000 miles

I have a 1987 coach with 8V92. 

Which Bendix compressor does this engine come with? Mine has been replaced in 2008 with a remanufactured unit and the factory tag is nowhere to be found. 

I suspect it is a Trueflow 700 or 750 but have no reference point or information.

I plan to replace my compressor, dryer, and regulator all in one shot.  I'm upgrading from the CR Brakemaster to the Modern AD9 type.



Thanks

This coach initially looked interesting (though we were really looking for a curb side dining/street kitchen).  But I reached out to see what this coach is all about...  https://www.motorhomesoftexas.com/Pre-ow...4?ref=list

Initially, the pictures weren't too bad (coach just arrived - slides in) https://photos.app.goo.gl/nnNpiNuTFAgccsJL9

I had some questions: 

2. Exterior Electric Cord Reel – Am I correct that the power reel isn’t working, and the cord is just thrown into the compartment?
   
3. Generator – Now I realize that the generator isn’t nose mounted.  Can’t figure out which side the radiator & fan are for the generator (hoping street size/less noise & dust).  And where is the generator itself mounted?
   
4. Does the tag axial also run Michelin 365’s, or are they 315s?
   
5. Kitchen Silverleaf Display – It seemed to be displaying an unidentified fault.  Do you know what the fault was?
   
6. Dining table – just want to confirm that a rectangular table is actually there.  It didn’t show in a picture, but I did see a small circular table next to the fridge.  Counting on an extendable table for the booth (which I assume has additional cushions somewhere for seating?
   
7. Glass Display Case – area the glasses all missing?
   
8. Exterior Windows – Are any foggy or have creeping seals?  Is the master/behind the bed the only one on the coach that opens, besides the small driver window?
   
9. Shower Door – Is the securing latch missing/broken?  (Noticed it was taped in place).
   
10. Front Salon – Assume that’s some sort of fridge under the TV in the desk area?
    

To which Ben @ MOT responded:

1. The cord reel is currently broken, not sure why or how, was like that when it arrived. I’m sure that can be dealt with by the owner though.
   
2. The fan and radiator are located on the road (drivers) side of the coach. I believe it was the second bay door from the front….i can update that set of photos to show you that.
   
3. I will get back to you on this one…….
   
4. Same here, I will get back to you on this one. I do not know what the fault was at the time…..i will check that though.
   
5. I will verify this info when I get the rest for you.
   
6. Yes sir, ALL the glasses were missing from the display….not certain if they were stored, or just discarded…..i will verify this for you as well.
   
7. I didn’t notice any foggy windows or creeping seals, however, I will investigate this for you.
   
8. Yes sir, the latch is broken or missing, no worries, I can take care of that as well….
   
9. Yes sir, that is a beverage fridge…..cans, bottles, etc…..i will get a better photo of that as well.
   

I need to open it up and take photos with the slides open…..i snapped all these photos as soon as it pulled into the lot.
Everything was still is a bit of a tizzy.
I will try to have answers for all of this today for you.
Ben
 
Well, he took additional pictures with slides open, and it was painful to see the condition of this coach.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/r8Dm6HWsCDYWH3F6A  And if the pictures aren't painful enough, his responses make me wonder how many thousands would it take to put this coach right?  His additional responses:

   I snapped a bunch more photos that i as a buyer would absolutely want to see. Pretty sure that these will answer most of your questions.

3) 385/65/22.5
4) i will need service to figure this one out.
5) only table i could find is the round one.
7) multiple windows are fogged...couldn't see with shades down, but easy with them raised.
8) shower door track appears bent/broken
I discovered several other issues while investigating the 1st set of questions. The photographs will likely speak for themselves.
Please Don't misunderstand me, this is a beautiful coach, however, it needs some t.l.c.
If you wish for me to continue after you view these photos, i will certainly start on your second set of questions.
I had this completed yesterday for you, however, i had a noon appointment show up at approx 430 yesterday......5 hours late

Questions for the Guru's - 

Have you ever seen a dining table cum booth set up like this?
What could cause all those exterior issues (rust?)
Virtually every window needs replacing - never seen that before!  Cost?
How do you break a ceiling?
The three faults on the Silverleaf - any way to figure out of their minor...or major?
Any idea of it's history?

This coach certainly wasn't a garage queen....almost wonder if it was given to a son for frat party use!   
  

The starting capacitor for the middle basement Duo Therm a/c unit has finally given up. 35 years is a good run. It does look original and unmolested. I thought it prudent to replace the start and run capacitors at the same time, although the run capacitor meters out just fine. Both replacement capacitors are smaller than original, although the run capacitor is 1/3  the size of original, but has the same spec 370 volt 5 uf or mf. Is it because the originals were made in America and the are Chinesium? Am I missing something? I have not installed these yet because of these questions.

My Newell had around a dozen speakers in it when I bought it. They were high-end , made by ADS. (Similar to Braun or Focal). About half of them needed new cones etc. Since I am a DIY kind of guy I bought the components and learned how to recone them myself. I have since re-foamed JBL monitor speakers successfully. If your coach's speakers are not working, buzzing etc. they may be repairable. I will offer advice and could possibly re-cone them for you for the cost of materials. If you would rather replace I might be interested in your non-operating speakers.

 Good Morning,  My coach number is 1403 a 2010 model with 64,000 miles, It has a 2008 cat c-15 acert 625 hp in it. Newell recomends anywhere between 15-60,000 miles to inspect/adjust valves,injectors and jake brake. My question is does anybody know if this is really necessary to have this service performed? i have contacted Cat several times nobody seems to have the time or answer and Newell says to contact Cat. I have not had a lick of trouble with engine to date!! Also to gain access to engine i would have to tear out tile in rear bath .  Any thoughts out there.

I’d like to thank everyone involved in making the “Official No Rally, Rally a huge success!!!  My personal experience was more than I anticipated!  I’m extremely happy that me and Sarah made the decision to attend!  We gained A LOT of friends and knowledge of the Newell!  This group is World Class and we’re very happy to be a part of this group!  I would personally like to thank.....Richard, John, Roger, Rudy, Steve, Michael, and the imposter Keith “Juice“ Jones for their involvement in my coach repairs!!!  We cannot thank you enough!!!  You’re all Rock Stars...give yourselves a pat on the back  :D

Was sort of surprised to see this on Primier's site.  Does anyone know the history of this coach?  Looks well priced.
