Greetings. It has been a long time since I have posted. Life gets in the way. But now, I have a question. We have a 1995 coach with a Detroit Series 60 engine. We need a CAC. Does anyone have an older Newell that they part out?
Any ideas?
   

Hello all! 

I just thought I would post this to see if anyone has a person they could suggest to inspect a Newell Coach I am looking at. 

Checking local first and if that doesn't work will move to flying one in. 


This forum is such a great resource of information! 

Thanks in advance for any help you cound give!

Does my coach have the SB series brakes on it or the SN series brakes??

I have a front caliper hanging up, i'm taking it to my local truck repair place but I want to give them as much info as I can.  Part numbers would be great

I'm going to have them service the front and tag.

Coach 1997 #454

Spotted in Sun Lakes, Arizona, 1978 Newell.  Owner just rebuilt the engine in his garage and is installing it.

We are heading back to Newfoundland this summer because we fell in love with it last summer.  The people are the nicest we have ever encountered and the boondocking accommodations along the shores and cliffs are remarkable. Where else are you welcomed and encouraged to stay for free in the most beautiful spots on the island?  Most spots include trashcans and picnic tables.  If anyone is in the area we would love to meet up!  We travel with 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs, Wynnie and Lola, and they love the hikes, cool air, and fresh seafood of Newfoundland.  This will be our first summer adventure with Mickey, our new to us coach.

Hi guys, we have been experiencing this more and more often, time to fix. Does anyone know where we can get the door open and door lock mechanisms mounted on the wall behind the control board as you enter the coach? As long as someone's on the inside we remove the panel, reach in and flip the left rocker one position. The right rocker locks and unlocks the door, that does not work either. So we would like to replace both but not sure where to get them. Pic attached!

Thanks, as always!

Hi all.  My wife and I decided to semi retire so we bought a very nice 2005 to try the life style change. We enjoyed our time in 738 so much we decided to purchase 1604 which was the first Newell that we had ever been in and made us fall in love with there product. Thanks to Newell for keeping high standards for over 60 years!  The Hough’s

Hi guys - we have been searching for a low side air leak for a long time and we finally found one (of course there may be others ...) - but this one is coming from the hall door valve itself. We have one on order - but my question - is there a manual shutoff valve for the hall and bath doors? I have a pneumatic diagram from a 2014 that shows emergency valves, but we have a 2003 and I cannot find anything obvious. Would like to shut both off and see if the 12v compressor will come on less often (comes on about every five minutes now ...)

Thanks very much!

Dave

Trying to identify this Stamford generator’s Isuzu engine model. It’s a 10Kw with an Isuzu 3-Cyl installed in an early 80s Newell. I believe there were only a couple options: 3AA1, 3AB1, 3AD1. Looking to perform a service and need to buy the correct parts. Any assistant would be appreciated.

The brakes used on the Prevost in the BGM video are the very same as used on late nineties Newell tag axles. I recognized them from the work I did some years ago replacing seals and bearings. In the video you will see critical items to inspect, and you will learn about lubrication of the slide pins to prevent sticking.
