Hi everyone. I'm working on my 1983 Newell. Heating is done and now I'm moving onto the AC. This is a 40' RV with 3 mini air conditioners, one in front, one under the kitchen table, and one in the rear closet. Back one works, but the middle two need work. They dont seem to have any data plates but are rated 1-1.5 ton according to my father who is a HVAC guy. Split system. Capillary tube's. We're trying to find out what type of refrigerant these systems would have used without having to purchase an analyzer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I went to the dark side with the 2007 Prevost Legendary XLII below a couple of months ago.  It has been amazing to have been a part of this group for the last 4+ years, making new friends and learning about 458 and 653.  653 went off to it's new home today with a lovely couple that will I'm sure announce themselves soon in this group.  While I changed brands I won't be going anywhere anytime soon as to me this group is about way more than just owning a Newell.

While cruising at around 63 mph display shows 6 6 meaning in 6th gear. all of a sudden it downshifts and shows 5 5.  can someone explain.  after a minute or so goes back to 6 6.
in economy mode on cruise control. never touched the transmission console.

Didn’t see where this was addressed directly, but could’ve missed it. Ordered new rear bags, passenger side for my 99. My old bags had large 1” (?) ports with a 40 degree or so angled fitting.  

As mentioned in other posts, Newell is shipping the newer bags with a much smaller port. They offer a fitting kit to step up to the larger fitting on the hoses. 

The drive axle bags are fed by a single hose that Ys to feed both bags. The Y is very short and made to comfortably fit that angled fitting. Not sure if this is common. 

With the new vertical fitting assortment, the hoses are too short. 

Wondering if anyone had a school solution already that didn’t take 10 adapters to make work?

Hello All! We recently purchased an 09 coach (1288) and are just starting our familiarity with systems, issues, etc. I know Newell can be a great resource, but I also know there are others out there that own Newells that are proud of their units and like talking to other owners. I'm hoping to connect with someone who either owns a coach similar to our year range, or has worked on our year range intimately enough to know the ins and outs. As common with a new purchase, we have already built up a laundry list of items that need addressing. And, while I do enjoy a good troubleshooting challenge, it sure makes a lot of sense to have more knowledge on the subject. I am mechanically inclined and like working on my own stuff, so I'm hoping to find someone similar who has maintained their coach themselves and knows the ins and outs. Alternatively, I would love the chat with owners who maybe don't do their own mechanical work but understand the systems in their entirety. There's a lot of info on these forums, so I'm hopeful I can come back here when troubleshooting something specific, but I suppose I'm just looking to talk with some people (on the phone, if possible) that can just get me up to speed on the systems so when a problem does arrive I have a better high-level understanding on the overall systems.

Long-term I hope to meet some of you as we (my wife and 9 month old daughter!) are out traveling across the country, but in the meantime this is my attempt to start making connections!

My air dryer is leaking out of this port.  
1.  Is this part on here serviceable if so what is it called??
2.  What is the model of the dryer??  I’ve read maybe wabco1200??
3.  The aux compressor will kick on and off and the leak isn’t horrible but it is audible.  You think it’s ok to take my shakedown trip this weekend??

Started up fine, decided not to hook up toad in exit lane of RV park. drove a mile away to empty restaurant parking lot to hook up. Turned off engine. after hooking up, turned key on and a few clicks and everything went out. Batteries fine, fuse on battery negative fine. No 12 volts on the main terminal in the back. Disconnect switch in the on position. Hard time getting 12v at starter connection so I took apart and cleaned cable ends. still no power. tested continuity across disconnect switch and results were not consistent. took terminals off and found black crust. Cleaned and put back and issue resolved-  corroded cables on cutoff switch which is a ground connection.

Does anyone know how to turn off the Vorad smart cruise and just run a standard cruise control?

So I was perusing my Xantrex inverter manual and noticed that it has the ability to set the AC output voltage from 108v all the way up to 125v. The question is, when inverting from a nominal 12V battery source is there any benefit to selecting from those AC output voltages? 110v (the older standard) vs. 120V (the new math) Most appliuances should work either way, but is there any benefit one over the other from the battery and inverter standpoint.


Things that make me go ...Hmmmmm.

Greetings. It has been a long time since I have posted. Life gets in the way. But now, I have a question. We have a 1995 coach with a Detroit Series 60 engine. We need a CAC. Does anyone have an older Newell that they part out?
Any ideas?
