Can anyone tell me where I would find the 12V air compressor on my coach?

Hi all!

I am still new here and have posted a couple of questions and now I am at the point where I believe I am about to purchase a Newell.  Specifically coach #227.  I am putting a deposit down on it this week and was curious if anyone had any information on this coach, or, in the alternative, any information specific to a 1990 Newell that I should no about?  By this I mean in regards to something from that time period.  For example is there’s one thing I should  know about the heat or furnace, brakes, or any other system being used at that time.

Any info would be appreciated.  I would say that I am aware of the 8v92 engine and was inquiring to other systems or equipment used on that specific coach or on one from the early 90’s.  Any history on the coach would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

My name is John Hart, I am a small business owner from North Carolina.  Several years ago I found myself constantly frustrated by wasted time sitting at dumb traffic signals.  I remember thinking, how can we have men on the moon, an international space station, and cars that drive themselves, yet here I sit at an empty intersection waiting on a stupid light to give me the go-ahead because it couldn't see me coming? Countless times I've been in a line of cars at a left turn light, me and 1 or 2 other cars didn't make it through. Then I had to wait for the light to cycle all the way through all the other lanes and come back to me, when if it would have waited a couple extra seconds the turning lane would have cleared. How many of us have been stopped by a traffic signal that was giving a green light to nobody, because the car that triggered the signal is already gone... It turned right on red? Wouldn't it be great if you were approaching an empty intersection in your big heavy Newell and before you even took your foot off the accelerator it gave you a green light because the signal realized there was no cross traffic. You get the idea. 

I researched the topic and found that over a dozen patents had tried to make traffic lights better, but all were based on cameras, and none had been implemented. Nobody had patented a system using Lidar, ultrasonic and other sensors like autonomous cars use to "see" in 3-D.  I run a screen printing and embroidery company so I understand the differences between vector images and raster (bitmaps) along with their computational burdens.  So I set out to design a system of long distance detection (from a mile away, in every direction, including hills, valleys and curves). A system that could identify differing vehicles and anticipate what decisions needed to be made in order to maximize flow through any given intersection in real time. After a few years of work with an electrical engineer friend who specializes in visual recognition software and hardware. we were awarded a patent.  I was so excited. I was going to change the world. I was going to save millions of tons of CO2 emissions and help national productivity. OK, that last one may be a stretch, but it's staggering how much time Americans waste sitting at dumb traffic lights.  My dream is to create a system that piggybacks on existing infrastructure and anticipates the constantly changing needs of traffic flow and adjusts on the fly.  A system that autonomously anticipates how to maximize the flow of traffic through an intersection, instead of reacting after a car rolls over a loop of wire in the road.  
That was 3 years ago...

I've contacted every player that I can find in the traffic light industry.  I don't have the money to fund a start-up but I'm more than willing to sell, license or help develop my system. But all of my e-mails and inquiries have been met with deafening silence.  All of the companies currently in the traffic signal industry are already making money and don't want their industry disrupted, or don't want the legislative trouble to implement a new type of system. Sports teams are using vector based imaging to track pitches, basketball teams use it to capture shooting percentages, several car companies use it for autonomous driving.  Yet every day millions of people waste their lives sitting at intersections because a traffic signal has no way to make decisions concerning flow maximization.  All the technology needed to revolutionize the industry already exists, yet we're forced for now to run over loops of wire buried in the ground.

My question to the Gurus is how I should proceed?  Does the idea simply need exposure through articles or trade publications, if so how do I attract technical writers (none so far will return my emails)?  I don't have the resources to build out prototypes.  I don't think it would behoove me to display at trade shows without one.  I've contacted all those I can find through internet searches as well as several technology freelance writers, but to no avail. 

We've all heard the old Ralph Waldo Emerson adage that if you build a better mouse trap the world will beat a path to your door.  If only it were that easy. All over the world there are ideas that could change our lives for the better, but the world cannot beat a path to something that it doesn't know exists.  Any advice on how to get exposure and how to get the conversation started will be appreciated. Somebody please help me... Daddy needs a Newell

Good Morning,

Kristi and I have been running silent for a several weeks as we had been working with Newell to trade our two coaches in on one they had for sale, #744. Newell has been addressing a few items on 744, we’ll post pics when we get it home. 

One of the things I can report on was installing RoadKing Shocks all around. I did get a chance to drive it after the install... all I can say is fabulous!! Well worth the investment.

Last week Kristi and I started talking about what tow vehicle we’d look for. I wanted versatility and thought a Jeep Wrangler would be fun. To my surprise she agreed. We looked around town and of course on the Internet. I stumbled across a one owner 2014 Sport with 41500 miles. It had just came in so I contacted the dealer. After a few text exchanges I made a fair offer. 

Last Thursday I jumped in my 2002 C5 Corvette, drove to Tulsa, and was back home before dinner with our new tow Jeep... I will miss the Corvette but I’m sure the Jeep will provide us with more adventure for manny years to come... and of course I can zip around town in it.... Most importantly... Kristi Love’s it!

I’m going with the M&G brake system on the Jeep and the Demco Excali-Bar II tow bar setup. Jeep makes a wiring harness that hooks directly into the Jeep’s electrical system and operates the taillights. I also ordered new taillights with amber turn signals to match the Newell. 

Any advice on towing is always welcomed... this will be our first time. 

Can’t wait to get 744 home and move forward. 

Take care, JK 

   

   

Anyone know the part number or cross-reference for the small (I think they are 90 lbs) springs that hold up the upper overhead console doors across the front of the coach?  The number I have is from Austin Hardware (1-800-821-3520) AVSE400V-PS90 30 0974 
I’ll call them if I have to but was hoping to get it from Amazon...
Length extended: 11.5”
length collapsed: approx. 7.5” (not sure where the collapsed measurement is taken)
Length of stroke: approx. 4.75”
I think from the numbers that this is a 90 lbs spring... or PS90 may refer to the end pieces...
Orr and Orr had the following which is close: https://truck-hardware.orrorr.com/item/g.../h-9501-90

1 air bag got hole. I need to replace all 8 along with ride height valves.  need part number for 2 front which are Firestone, 4 drive which are Goodyear, 2 tag which are Firestone and suggestion on where to purchase. I think they are all what came on the coach #689 a 2004. I have got a track day next weekend and need to get fixed by this Thursday if possible. Thanks for your help

I am currently at Walmart in Amarillo Texas. Just today noticed a pulsing in the braking at a slow speed around 30 mph when coming off the highway. My brakes have always been in great shape and work ok at high speeds. The only different thing done in the last couple days is I spray lubed the what I believe are the control arm bushings because they were squeaking. One other thing to add is i have always had a hammer like sound come from the right front wheel area. This has been checked out extensively by 3 different places over the years even removing the shock and taking it for a ride, still same noise. I now wonder if by lubing the bushing if perhaps that could have somehow quickened the control arm bushing problem if in-fact there may be a problem there. Just guessing at this point. I don't remember anyone looking at the control arm bushings but they may have. The noise is a concerning noise but seeing as no one has been able to find the problem I figure I wouldn't worry about it. So There is my challenge for our trip back to New England. Tomorrow we will be stopping in Miami Ok for the pm so could have Newell look at it Monday.

we have never stayed where it was cold and run the aquahot for extended periods of time for heating.  

we are in cove fort, utah serving as missionaries for our church until october of this year.  if any of you travel on I-15 in southern utah, stop by and see us.  the fort is about a mile off of the freeway and sees 80,000 visitors each year.  

we have had the coach here for a week now.  several nites it has been in the 25 degree range.  we kept the aquahot on electric and the aquahot temp would get down into the 190 degree range, but still keep the coach warm and toasty.  when we get up, the temp is over 200 and soon around 220's.  no problem taking showers without putting it into diesel mode.  

very happy on how well it is working.  more snow coming this week and mid 20's temps.  

i did a full aquahot service before we left arizona, but not sure i will need to use it much in diesel mode other than to fire it up once a month or so.  

thanks for all the advice from rudy.
