I would like information to help me find a replacement rear bumper for my 1986 Newell.
Mine got bent and no one seems to want to try to straighten it.

I wonder if anyone can help me with this

Thanks

Donnell Cameron
1986 Keele Coach

75 Newell Coach> Rare classic> 34' diesel pusher.  3208 CAT, new transmission, gas generator, 120 gal fresh water tank, 200gal diesel fuel tank, 60gal gas tank (for generator) 100 gal holding tank, double bed, fold out couch, parquet flooring, excellent maintenance.

Found a potential disaster waiting to happen.  I notice that my coach batteries (Interstate 8D) where cooking on shore power in the float charge mode.  Went back into the settings on the Heart Interface Link 2000 and found the battery amp hour setting set to an abnormaly high number (don't remember the number).  The batteries had a marking of "CCA 1400" with no AMP hour markins.  The battery manufacturing spec is a 270 AMP hour rating.  Given two parallel strings I changed the setting to 540 amp hour capacity.  The batteries are now charging as they are supposed to be charged.      NOTE;  Just realized what I wrote, this setting is incorrect.  I can't have two parallel strings as that would be 24 volts.  If the battery installation was done correctly there should be six 12v batteries in parallel given me 1620 amp hours @ 12v.  I will have to go back and check the layout to verify.  

What I suspect happened, someone changed the AMP hour setting (recent battery install) to some number based on the CCA rating which resulted in the charger thinking we had a huge battery bank.  If this setup had continued unabated I would be buying new batteries before long.

New to Newell Gurus. been starting to look at early 90s Newell 42 footers no slides. Anyone have any advice what to look for . numbers in the low 200s 227 is one I have seen for sale. thanks very much Steve

So I am wondering about my fuel water separators. I have the clear plastic drain bowls on the bottom which are black so I have been trying to loosen them for cleaning and after soaking with penetrating oil for weeks I now have them both loose. But so it now dawns on me, now what? If I drop the bowls for cleaning does the fuel come gushing out? And what is inside the large black housing the bowls are attached to? Also what are the odds that they would need new o rings? Anyone replace these units with newer versions and if so what are they. 

Thanks
Brad

This is a totally self-indulgent post/thread, but here goes:

As my coach education continues, I'm heading to West Palm Beach, next week, for the Prevost Expo (I'll be there Tuesday through Thursday). If there are any Gurus in that vicinity or even somewhat on the driving route from WPB to Philadelphia who wouldn't mind showing off your coach for a couple hours to a wannabe, I'd love to connect. I'm willing to add a total of 6 hours drive time to my trip, so you can't be in Texas, but it doesn't need to be the I-95 corridor, for sure.

Feel free to PM me if you prefer...thanks.

Not a for sale but maybe someone knows of a coach that isn't actively for sale but was or could be.  We are looking for an early steering tag, mid-door coach.  We have a 96 45' Newell for sale that I'll be putting up on RV Trader shortly.

Hi everyone;  we have been enjoying our 36 ft Holiday Rambler   f or 3 years now and have decided to go full time. We have been looking  at early nineties 42 footers,  Can anyone tell me when the transition to Wide 102 bodies came about and what models etc to look for.  And which to steer clear of if any.  Thanks very much Steve and Janet

This is kind of an odd case.  This ad showed sold several weeks ago.  The coach showed up at Rayford Crossing RV Resort.  I spoke with the new owners who said they had just purchased at MOT.  The coach now shows back for sale at MOT.

I have had a problem with oil venting from the air dryer discharge since day one of owning the 86 coach . It has the original CR Brakemaster air / dryer heat exchanger . Originally the discharge was routed into the muffler via a copper tube . I replaced the exhaust system from the turbo down pipe , muffler ,etc, and didn't want to go back into the muffler with the discharge , so I plumbed the discharge into a PVC catch tank using steel braid hose . This has helped , but it still lubricates the bumper , trailer , etc . 
  I am aware that the compressor is likely in need of replacement / rebuild , but it will be hard for me to get it out  so I would like to cover all the bases first . I have read posts about replacing the old air dryer with an AD -9 unit and solving  this issue . I have seen this on other sites as well . I started the engine Sunday and noted that from zero psi on the supply side , 90psi brake , to the point of the low air light going off was just under four minutes . I am wondering how this compares to other classics , and has anyone upgraded successfully to the AD-9 ?
Thanks ,
Chris
