Hello everyone I have coach 469, a 1998 Newell, and I’m looking for information on tie-rods and drag links. My shop says they’re obsolete so having a hard time finding some. I’ve left messages at Newell, but waiting to hear back. Would anyone by chance happen to know a source where I could find these or even a part number? Thanks in advance, Joe

Once again I must show my Newell ignorance  
Is the radiator and electric fan in the front passenger compartment (next to the compressor and genny blower) an auxiliary cooling system for the generator? While I'm at it does anyone know where the air manifolds are for the HWH leveling system. I found 1 in the passenger side engine compartment but that is apparently for the tag axle. I am looking for the other 2 according to HWH.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Just picked up a 83 40' Newell Classic .Not sure what number it is but i did find the vin tag, weight and such just left of the entry door. This is my very first coach or any rv at that. Found it for sale in Miami OK. about 1 mile away from the factory and 1.5hr from my house. Im the 3rd owner. They took very very good care of this rig it has every service and repair record from 83 till now and gobs of documents The interior is in almost perfect shape cept for a few very minor things that i need to repair. It has 70+ cabinets inside so no shortage of storage lol. Outside and mechanically its about the same story. Put all new tires on it day i got it since they were from 1999 lol and did some normal mechanical maintenance and took it on a 500mile trip dry camped for 3 days and plugged up for 3 days. No major issues there even towed my 6klbs jeep jku with ease. Im very surprised with the build quality and shape this thing is in for being 35 years old i looked at some other coaches (non Newell) the were much much more than this and 20 years newer and they were not near the quality and shape of this Newell. It has a 6v92t and 5sp allison with 151k miles 12.5kw gen with 1600hrs on it. I still need to repair a few things that im having a hard time finding replacements for and of course ive already started upgrading a few items and also make it handle a little better. It is Labor of love for sure plus Im a electrician and mechanic by trade so it should be easy for me to take care of most items but this is a different beast. 
Glad to be apart of the Newell family

Tom McCloud & Bill Appel's old coach was featured in  May 2018 issue of MotorHome magazine. New owners are Ted & Laura Jenkins.

Hello all, my husband and I are new to this forum and excited to be here.  We have been introduced to a #505, 1999 Newell at MOT this morning and thinking seriously about becoming a Newell owner! Does anyone know this one? Can anyone give us the history on this #505?  Thanks.

Greetings all,

Now that things are mostly assembled, mostly working, and we are a few days away from becoming full time RVers again, I wanted to start a thread to document some of the electrical rejigging I have been undertaking in coach 1234, a.k.a. "the Enterprise."

I basically decided I wanted a new hobby for 2017 and 2018, so I started designing and procuring this system last summer.  It uses 96 LiFEPO4 (hereinafter "LFP") cells connected in six paralleled, sixteen-cell strings.  Each string has about 5kWh of energy storage, making a total pack of about 31kWh, or as I like to say to folks, "about half a Tesla."

Here are some of the cells on my test bench, getting balanced, prior to installation:

---

And here is a "string" of 16 cells getting prepped to go in the battery tray.



I had to remove and modify the tray to get about an extra inch of clearance on the lower trays, versus the Newell stock 8DLs we know and love.

Hey all,

I've almost completely replaced every bit of functionality on my Silverleaf house system ("TCS") now, except for the autofill.   There is another thread on autofill in this forum, but I skimmed it and didn't see discussion of what I am looking for, so I thought I'd start a fresh topic.

In looking at the schematic for the Silverleaf TM102, it has a "fill switch" input wire and a "fill valve" output wire documented.  My galley Silverleaf panel/computer has a menu option to engage the "auto fill", which fills the tank most of the way and then shuts off.

Does anyone know how Silverleaf interacts with these wires, and how these wires interact with the filling system downstream?  I know, I should go trace the wires and figure it out myself... but I thought I would accelerate the process here since I bet some of you know it by heart.

Thanks,

Ben

Finally got my shop air compressor hooked up.
Was very xcited to be able to air up the coach prior to starting engine.
Would be nice to be able to open the door.
Well not so fast!
Air hose connected but no air goes into coach?.
Is there a valve somewhere that I am not aware of??

After 15 years of motorhoming I finally got my dream coach.Newell 1267.
Looking forward to being part of the guru’s.
