After much research I've decided to purchase a used Newell but haven't decided which model years to limit my search to.  I know the years major model design and driveline changes were made.  And I toured the factory, I was very impressed.

However, can anyone tell which model or year they started using an aluminum skin and internal aluminum framing?  Or if they've always been built that way?

I ask because I've seen so many other fiberglass clad coaches have problems with delamination, and I want to avoid that potential problem later on.

hi all,

so here is the question.......

how long does your slide seal stay inflated if there is not a compressor on.  i had assumed that it should be for weeks or more.  

i keep my coach with air in it all the time.  in my shop i have shop air on or if i am traveling one of the compressors is on.  so i never noticed how fast it would deflate before until i had the coach without air on it for a while.  

my rear slide seal will deflate in 18-24 hours

i was at richards and we tested his front seal that had been recently replaced by newell and it went down in about 24 hours.  

i was at steve magowns and his slide seal went down overnight.  

comments?

Hello All,
I'm wondering if there is a list of coach numbers or dates that used a particular engine version. Specifically, what years did Newell use the DD 8V92 MUI, DDECI, DDECII, DDECIII, etc. I believe 1984 was the first year Newell used the 8V92, and 1994 the 60 series engine saw it's debut, but I could be off. Anybody got the numbers?
Thanks,
Rob Murdock

Here's another subject that's probably been addressed before - although I did look pretty diligently for existing threads.    

The black monster that hovers over the driver and co-pilot appears to have dropped from its original position.    About 1" low on the left; 1/2" or less on the right.   Randy at Newell Service confirmed that this is an issue and gave me basic directions to shore up the unit before reattaching it to the plywood interior walls.    I'd be grateful for any other Guru tips and techniques before I tackle this.

Hello,

My wife and I have owned a 08 Winnebago Journey for one year. We’re ready to step up to a good used Newell. 

We will have numerous questions and hope to find the answers on your forum. 

I have no doubt that we will be able to transition to this class of coach with the help of the experienced however we’ve realized our first shortcoming. 

We rent a covered storage stall for our Winnebago and a Newell will also fit BUT... at this time we don’t have access to a indoor storage facility that would have power and heat.

We live in Arkansas and it can get below freezing for long periods of time. Does anyone store their coach in the elements and if so what procedures do you use to winterize it and maintain the batteries?

I’m not satisfied that not being able to have it powered up and indoors is a deal breaker but I certainly don’t want to jeopardize a investment like this. 

All advice will be appreciated.
JK
