LI was lowering the price and accidentally deleted my post, my apologies for the mix up!
[attachment=6927]Selling my 1989 Newell 40’ Motor Home, Coach #184.  $39,500
105K Miles, Detroit 8V92 Allison Auto
12.5 Kohler genset with Yanmar Diesel engine 
8 new (5k miles) Uniroyal tires
New bus batteries last year, house batteries are good, not sure of the age 
Runs and drives and generates great. 
3 basement airs that work great
Electric floor heaters work great, only one of the lp has heaters work.
Main floors updated
New size correct Fridge last year
New microwave last year 
Two burner gas and two burner electric cook top, works great

Lots more info available to serious buyers, I’d prefer a call, if you message me your phone number I’ll call you and talk all you want. 

I’m the third owner and have owned the bus for two years and would gladly drive this anywhere in the country, on one tank of fuel I might add (303 gallon main tank and 100 gallon auxiliary tank). It is 30 years old and isn’t perfect, the paint looks good, but on the drivers side clear coat is coming off as well as a bit on the front and a bit on the back. 

Mechanically it’s a very sound coach and is ready to use.
I can text you all the pictures you’d like.

385 is at Newell for its annual check up
Any Gurus around?????

It's time to write the check for new tires. Currently 2012 date code on our tires. We prefer to go with Michelin, although we have had no problems with the Goodyears on the coach now.  11R24.5 is our size. Any suggestions on where to purchase, or opinions in general on this topic?

Regards,

Guy

   
I had several de-laminated sections of laminate that needed attention.  From another project, I have used this Roo Glue formulated for Melamine & Vinyl.  Thought i would try it out on the Newell's laminate.  It has the right consistency as it will get into the deep recesses, with the aid of an artist brush, but still not run everywhere.

Not sure what the deal is with this one. It is priced like a 2008 but the photos are of #470, a 1998. It is a single slide, with the front cap that was replaced with the 'smiley' front cap after 1999. Note: #470 is 42' 6" not 45'. The original red carpet has been replaced with wood flooring in the salon (note #470 had the carpet replaced with wood flooring), the round glass display case at the end of the kitchen counter has been removed. Mileage (86,000) would be consistent with #470 which had 74,377 miles in 2015. The inverter should be a 2.5kw rather than a 25kw. The headlights have been changed out from the standard Ford headlights.

Here is a couple of photos of #470 from a couple of years ago compared with the coach in the ad.

Looking for advice on protecting the towed vehicle.  Came back from Arizona with our new car and had 10K repair damage due to rocks ad gravel.  Using a Blue Ox system and need advice regarding experience of others.  Apparently, the exhaust position of our 2015 Newell precludes the use of the "tow defender" sling system.

Gurus,

On the way back home from the most recent dog show my coach would not crank.  Turn the key to accessory and then on to start and nothing.   I have new batteries and battery voltage was fine.  I went to rear of the coach and used the rear start switch and engine fired up fine.  I made it home using the remote switch.  

I started troubleshooting when I realized that the transmission controller did not light up when the switch was in “accessory”.   I tried putting a new relay in the DDEC IGN ST position.  No change.  Newell suggested looking at the wiring behind the ignition switch.  It looked fine.

Looking at the diagram on the 12V distribution panel under the dash, I realized that there was a second Ignition relay....   “IGN ST”

Pulling that relay, I realized that the “load” pair of blades were darker and looked like they had been hot.  I replaced the relay and everything works. (The cracked case was me taking it apart to see if there was anything interesting on the inside)

Lesson’s learned...
1.  On my coach, there are at least two relays that turn on with the key.  If you turn the key and all the dash lights don’t light up...you might want to look at those relays.
2.  If your dash lights up and you still don’t start, look at this thread. Coach wont start thread.  Newer coaches have a starter relay that is similar (but different) from the merge solenoid.  Here is where I got mine.  Cole Hersee starter relay  
3.  What is that ST and DT stuff on the diagram?  Well duh...it is Single Throw (ST) and Double Throw (DT).  Do yourself a favor and have a couple of each one as a spare.  They are available at the parts store, but those may not be high quality.
4.  Depending on your coach, the transmission may get confused and not think it was in neutral and prevent the start.  See this Thread

Thanks to The Gurus, @"Richard" , and Newell Service for their help!

Cheers,
Bill
