Hi Gurus.....I had 599 (2001) out last night, temps got down to mid 20’s. Drive home this morning, parked it back in the heated Toybox (garage) and all seemed well. Now a few hours later I notice air leaking out of the bottom of this unit, see picture. Any advice???

Hello all, this is NOT and emergency by any means, but just looking for any suggestions.  I am in FL to take my dad's Newell back home to TN for the summer.  I checked the fluids in the gen and all seems good.  It cranks fine but wont run.  It hasn't been ran since he parked it here in early December.  Any suggestions from the gurus?  The bus engine runs fine so there's no worries about getting home.  Thanks in advance for any help

Hello Fellow Owners,

Just bought coach S/N 698 from MHOT! Ride home to Michigan was smooth and uneventful. 

Looking forward to many years of road travels in this Coach of Coaches! 

My wife just retired after 35 yrs as a operating room nurse at the University of Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor Michigan. This coach was purchased for her so she can finally get off her feet! 

Currently I'm still working in my favorite hobby in aviation. I've been a Aircraft Technician for 44 years and still love the smell of Jet Fuel which is diesel with a few additives! 

Really glad this sight is here to help and hopefully contribute in the years to come!

  SCS Expansion Valve

I recently had to replace one of the compressors in a SCS basement unit. After compressor replacement, the unit did not function well, and the existing thermal expansion valve TXV was the suspected culprit. 

The original valve is obsolete and was a custom OE made for SCS. Lovely, now it's made of unobtanium.  

I ended up using a type of TXV that uses a Sporlan EQBODY 3812 OD STR, a QC2 168074 cartridge, and  KT NGA 43 Power Element. 

Huh?  The reason for so many part numbers it the valve I used  can be configured in many different ways. All that sounds like goobly gook, but your AC tech can use that info at the local AC supply place to get a replacement valve. 

What you are looking for is a one ton, internally equalized valve, sweat fittings for R 22. 

The above configuration worked great with the unit specified charge of 36 OZ of R22. It produced 10 degrees of supercool (perfect). 

I had to do a bit of plumbing work to fit it in the unit because the configuration of the inlet and outlet plus the size of the outlet is different than the original.

Went to an event while visiting Texas. It's called "First Monday" and is touted as the largest flee market in... Texas or USA or some other unvarifiable region. 
We paid to park way out in a field. As soon as we got out of the car I noticed a Newell all the way across the field. I couldn't help but walk out of my way to see it. It was a beautiful chocolate and khaki 2000i, I believe (still learning). There were also 2 beautiful Foretravels parked with them.

Just discovered this site and after perusing for only a few minutes, decided to join..we currently have coach 1491, our fourth ‘pusher’ and second Newell. We usually spend about six months in the coach each year. I do most of my own maintenance, including removing and reinstalling the radiator/inner cooler/hydraulic oil cooler. On our current coach. Happy to be ‘on board’.

my two slide coach with both on the drivers side always leans down on the drivers side when sitting 

the fuel tank is on the drivers side (batteries opposite it)
fridge on drivers side
pantry on drivers side
heavy dinette on drivers side
couch on drivers side
bed and nightstands with quartz tops on drivers side
water tank kinda straddled both sides
slides on drivers side
bathroom vanity on drivers side

sure seems like alot of weight is on that side.  i have never weighed side to side or each wheel.
