Manitoba again 
Vin#: 1N9406X8X310011652  corrected  vin number for 2003 Newell

Manitoba calling again, Good day all. Does any one have any information on this coach.
1162 - 2003 40 ft Newell Panterra Coach
 Previous owners - ETC.
Thanks Rick

I guess I'm just not doing enough entertaining.    The crystal cabinet will be replaced by a bookshelf.    The set of glasses appears to be complete and original with no damage.    Mirrored shelves, racks and cabinet doors included.

Please make an offer or just give it a good home.    Can deliver/pickup in Phoenix or western Colorado.

       

Hi all 

We've been RVing for about 30 years on and off with motor homes from about 24' up to a 43 Winnebago that we sold 4 or 5 years ago, we thought we were done traveling around.

A couple years ago we bough a 30' class c winnie to see if we wanted to get back into traveling. We are enjoying it again but 30 foot is just too small.

I started looking around at something in the 36 foot range with a diesel but haven't found the right one. A good friend of mine is on his 4th Prevost and has been trying to convince me to move up to a "real" coach. I've made several trips with him in his coach to race our cars and it is very nice. 

So here is why I'm here, I found this 40' Newell in Michigan and it looks pretty good to me, I've spent a fair amount of time on the phone with the dealer (Rex at Penterra) and my buddy with the Prevost has spoken to Rex also. I'm flying up Wednesday (from sunny Florida) to see it, and if is what they say it is I think I'll take the leap into a bigger coach.

Here is a link to the listing, it is coach number 652. Do any of you know anything about it or the dealer?

Thanks in advance

Sitting here in North Carolina reviewing the past years travels. Everything from a scary boil over on Baker Grade on the west side of Las Vegas in the Summer, ( it is amazing how fast you go from a manageable engine temp to oh-oh) , to an easy pull up through east bound  70 to Denver and 11,000 ft altitude, engine temp holding at 185 F,  with the ambient air being i 30 F. After the Baker Grade overheat, I put 1000 miles on the coach and sent oil samples to Blackstone. Everything came back great.

I understand the the 8V92 was never designed to be cooled in the manner that the Classics do,with the radiator being cooled with hot air being pushed out of the engine compartment through the radiator. I never took a reading, but even with hi temp wraps on the exhaust system, I am assuming that the temp of the air cooling the radiator is well over ambient  air temp.

Have any Gurus every toyed with the idea of forcing air in the  vents on the side of the coach, via a fan similar to a fan used on newer coaches? Would this assist the radiator fan, or just send air in one side of the engine compartment and out the other?

We never replaced the inverter/charger as we got it to work just fine for the last year or so.
We bought 6 new AGM 8D batteries (since we don’t boondock much) when the engine work was being done.  
I’m at Tom’s place in Wittman and we noticed the batteries were slowly dying after sitting for a while.  I had the batteries merged while sitting still (like normal).  The ‘charge’ button was pushed on the Heart Freedom 25 Combi inverter panel.  The battery bank went down to about 11volts (I didn’t take pictures of the panel so cannot remember the exact voltage or amps).  
I finally built a mount (sort of) like Tom’s for the inverter and it came out pretty well - now the inverter stays on the wall and doesn’t move around (will test this on I-10 soon!).  
The inverter seems to switch fine and powers the microwave even with low house batteries.
The engine batteries are currently being charged with a very nice (Thanks Tom!) battery charger today and I will switch to the house batteries to charge them later today. 
The PROBLEM is the charger in the inverter does not look like it is working as we have consistently lost volts/amps in both battery banks since the banks were merged.
I was/am getting both an E-10 and E-13 error “I found a loose but on the coach battery side and after tightening it I get an E-13 error which the manual says “battery voltage sense leads open”battery voltage sense leads open and a reference to “violet wire on inverter remote panel”.  I pulled the panel off but was unsure how to test the wire. 
I have done a ‘hard reset’ - disconnected all the batteries, unplugged the shore power, waited 30 minutes and reconnected batteries (first!) then plugged in the shore power and nothing changed.
I’m starting to think the F2 (charger) fuse may be blown inside and found some instructions (just now) on how to check that using the power wires to check continuity.  
I checked all the battery fuses I could find and got continuity across them (once Tom showed me how to use my meter correctly! - I learn then I forget again).  I left the wires attached to the fuses and probably need to do this test again especially with the fuse nearest the inverter (that will be fun). 
I think the nearest Xantrex service center is in CA :-(  They will probably tell me I need a new inverter, which I probably do need...

Found this on Govplanet looks like blowers for an 8V92.....
