Does anyone have any operating checklists they would be willing to share? Being new to coach ownership I would find them valuable. I come from an aviation background so I am thinking something similar to what pilots use. Before engine start, before takeoff, after landing, etc. 
After gathering some info from this site I made one for myself that I placed by each slide controller. This is for the older hwh slides from the late 90's

SLIDE OPERATION CHECKLIST
1. Parking Brake - Set
2. Transmission - Neutral
3. Check For Outside Clearance
4. Compartment Doors - Closed 
5. Furniture/Rugs - Clear
6. Engine - ON
7. Engine Speed - High Idle
8. Suspension - Travel Mode
9. Slide Control - Operate - Never stop mid cycle 

Any suggestions or otherwise would be appreciated

Thank you

Looking forward to absorbing everything this community has to offer. From what I've seen, you all are the real manual for these coaches.
Glad to be here.

I was about 15 mintues from Sturgis (my destination) yesterday.  After about a 5 hour drive.  Temps were around 80.

Smoke alarm in the bedroom started going off.  Pulled over immediately and some smoke was coming out from behind the drivers side tag.

Long story short.  I think i have an exhaust leak, causing the exhaust blanketing on fire.  Or almost on fire anyway.  What is the best way to get this either
A.  Blanketing off so I can get the pipe repaired while still hooked up
B.  Remove the pipe including the blanketing so I can repair the pipe and reinstall

I'll be here for a couple days and need to get this wrapped up before the next leg of my trip.  I'll attach pictures in the next post

Does anyone have pictures of the rear engine compartment starter panel. Have a melted relay that controls the hydolic fan and electric fuel pump. we have Coach 386 with detroit 60.The picture below is what was in there that was a replacement of original and not sure were to get that or what what is.

Hello MotorCoach connoisseur's.... My name is Randy Elliott. I purchased Coach 636 2002 Newell Motor Coach. I have a small dealership in Hot Springs, Arkansas, buying and selling luxury coaches, started as a hobby. This is my personal coach though. My family and I are really enjoying it. We've placed one of the pneumatic slide seals and have two more to do. I have a list about a mile long with things I plan on doing to it. And at list about a half mile long that I've already done. Even though I have several RV techs, I really enjoy working on my own coach myself. So far I haven't let anybody else work on it yet. I'm currently repairing one of the toilets. The hopper is broken on it. I'm putting a water leak on the ventilator. Just had a compressor go out on one of my heat pumps. So now I'm thinking about upgrading it to a mini split. I attempted to temporarily patch my slide seals until I could replace them, without any success. Of course each time it was in a Walmart parking lot. I love my bus though. I had purchased my coach from one of our customers, Chris, if anybody knows him. Does anybody here have any history or information on my coach by chance? If so if you can reach out to me, that would be awesome. I'd love to hear anything that anybody knows or has seen my coach anywhere. 

Hi, my compressor in the front of the coach is running and running.  Feel a leak around the filter, I ordered a new one.  Unplugged it because it won't stop.  When I do, my other compressor turns on and won't stop.  The coach airs up fine.  Will go to Travel mode, will level in auto mode.  It just started doing this today.  Any advice is appreciated.  it is a 2004 coach, Valid system.  Air is coming out of the bottom of that nozzle non stop.  Can feel with finger. I uploaded a picture of that and also the other compressor that is running.

Hi, new here.  New owner of coach 685!

My Total Vision rear view monitor which is about 11" wide quit today.  I took it apart & found a burnt power plug.  I destroyed the receptacle, cut the plug off & soldered the wires to the board.  All is good now, it works great!

I am interested in understanding what you are actually sold your prized Newell's for ?  Yes, I'm in the market to buy a well cared for example.

I've seen well cared for mid 90's have recently sold for sub $40k.

Is the market softening ? 

input appreciated.

My compressors will not kick on when running just the generator. Works fine when either the engine is running or plugged in to shore power. Any thoughts on what it could be?
