I wish any Newell I was interested was near Newell's HQ...

But they never seem to be.  So, if we were interested in a coach, I would want to have an inspector who is very (VERY) familiar with Newells to conduct the inspection.  But how?  

Most of the coaches are in CA, but they have popped up in other areas.  A doubt a seller would let me tie  up a coach for very long to get someone in to inspect.  

Suggestions???

Hi all!  I am new to the forum even though I joined a while ago as I’ve only made one post and and have been lurking and learning since.  Here’s my dilemma.  I am just about ready to purchase my first coach, it will be a used coach. I have narrowed my choices down and although never thought I would find a Newell that I can afford or want, I have.  My first possibility is a 1990 Newell with low miles, under 70kmiles.  It’s 42 ft long and was stored indoors until last year.

The other choice is a 1999 foretravel u320.  42 ft with a tag axle.  Inside has been renovated with new floors, rug, and furniture.  Also has new parts like new a/c units up top and new airbags all around.  Has about 150k miles, outside shows wear comensurate with miles and with being in the weather but seems to be in good shape and maintained.

I know there are many variables but I would appreciate opinions on which would be a better coach (I realize they may be biased).  

Thanks

On a 7 or eight year old build sheet Newell has an Air Cam option.  Is that a 360 birds eye view driving camera or what?  See attached snip.  Thanks,

Here's the manual for #663.  I scanned it at a resolution such that it should be a searchable document.

There doesn't seem to be many plans here, thought I would contribute to the cause.

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

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
