Ebay opening bid of $95,000 Reserve Not Met.

Black with silver and red stripes. Purchased 7 years ago by Alex Jones. 324,000 miles.  1 bedroom slide.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-Newell-45-...:rk:1:pf:1

darlene and i just got back from a month on the road visiting some of our newell friends.  we drove our car as the newell is about to get a new slide seal.

what an amazing month in visiting and staying with the entrekins, days, oliviers and steve magown.  all who let us stay in their homes and visit and have a ton of fun.  texas, north and south Louisiana and florida.  

we also stopped in and met in person mike meer in florida.  we ran out of time and would have loved to visited more of you.  

we recently bought a genesis g90 awd and this was its first big roadtrip.  did over 5000 miles.  today doing almost 700.  what an amazing road machine.  

it is so amazing the friends we have made and how so many of you are like family to us now

we are hoping many of you will stop by our place this winter in arizona.  we have two full hookup 50a spots.

The mechanic who is working on my 1987 8V92 (mechanical) said that the high temp shutdown switch is not working and asked if I could get a schematic of the wiring for this bus.  I laughed.  Does anyone know how the high temp shutdown is wired in Newells of this period?

Inficon Ultra Sonic Leak Detector 700-202-G1 To Help Find Those Pesky Air Leaks. Like New $200.

My coach is filled with Southco C3 latches of various pull strengths.

Most of male sides of the latches (called "grabbers," as I learned today) are a special "light duty" style that is thinner, presumably for clearance reasons.  But what this means is that we can't just buy regular C3 latch/grabber pairs on Amazon, because the replacement grabber is too thick and won't fit.

Has anyone sourced these light duty grabbers?

I'm working on hunting down options with Southco, and obviously I can pay Newell 5x for the same piece.  Just curious if anyone else already has a source for these, though.

All,
When I was at Newell last week I talked with an owner of a 2011. When his coach was in storage he would turn off the 110v air compressor and use an air compressor plugged into the Air In port at the rear of the coach. Today I tried to do the same thing but when the air compressor got to 100 PSI a very audible air leak occurred. The leak sounded as if it came from behind the tag axle on the passenger side of the coach. Once the air leak started the air pressure would drop below 90 PSI. We tried this three times with the same result. Is this the air dryer leaking? Any thought on the cause of the air leak.Thanks in advance.

Newell Coach 1242

I live in Calhoun Louisiana, when we bought our Newell I was told about a parts dealer near me, I have managed to lose his number. Could anyone help me find him?? Tia

Gurus,

When I bought my coach, I was advised to register it in Montana and save sales tax along with the tag costs.  It seemed shady to me and I am a bit of a rule follower, so I registered the coach in Alabama.

Today, I ran across a video that is from the Georgia Revenue guy talking about how he went about finding Georgia residents registering their exotic cars in Montana.

I have not verified the veracity of the video...but it seemed that this might be of interest to a least a few of the gurus.

We are now officially Newell classic hoarders.  We just bought coach #129 (1987, 37') in Maine and ran into a couple issues on our drive home to San Antonio.  BTW Michael, the engine is a silver 8V92 and it is mechanical, no DDEC.
As we were leaving a cramped RV park in Pennsylvania, I made a hard right turn and heard a POP and then no power steering and a few seconds later my wife informed me that there was red fluid on the ground under the coach.  The hydraulic line from the steering pump feeding the steering box had burst just over the rear air bag.  
We had the coach towed to a nearby diesel repair facility.  They said the hose burst where it apparently was rubbing on the frame and they repaired it.  We took it for a test drive and as we made a hard turn onto the shop driveway... POP again.  The same hose burst but this time up front just before the steering box.  They repaired that and then the same line burst again up front but not where the repair had been made.
They suspected that the steering pump had a relief valve that was not working and sent the pump to a "hydraulic specialist" who checked the pump over and said it looked fine but he could not see any type of pressure relief valve in the pump.  The plan is to replace all of the hydraulic hoses with true, crimped hydraulic hose (the existing appears to be a steel reinforced fabric hose) and in the process look for some type of relief valve in the system that isn't working.
I called Newell and spoke to 2 of the Jims there and they said they didn't know about an '87, but newer models have a distribution block after the pump.
Does anyone know if there is a relief valve somewhere in the steering system on '87s?  Any ideas why the hose all of the sudden is bursting over and over??  The previous owner had this coach in storage for at least a few months this summer and only drove it in the wintertime to go south.  He told us the only repair that he had done in the time he owned it (about 3 yrs) was to have the steering pump O-ring replaced because the pump was leaking a little.
