Hi all,  we had a great afternoon with Rudy and Carolyn. Lunch at the Monument INN near the Battleship Texas and got to visit with them at their place  two extremely nice people to spend time with. He didn't even have to work on my Aqua Hot 

I replaced all 3 blower motors when we first got coach in 2010.  Had to replace one of them the other day. Original motors are no longer available. First replacement was with VDO pm3477 motors.  They are a bit larger in dia than originals & the motor mount bands need to be modified by "flattening" out arc to accomodate the new motor.  When I went to get replacement, both NAPA & Carquest could not find VDO pm3477 in their warehouses.  I had trouble finding then on e-bay as well.  4 Seasons 35490 motors are interchangeable with the VDO pm3477.  I ordered a 4 Seasons 35490 at Autozone store & got it in Monday.  It and the old VDO were both labeled Unimotor 14490 hecho en Canada.

This heater is not putting out! It is mounted inline in the air duct downstream from the A/C evaporator. This is the heat source for the coach. When I check voltage with it "off" it shows approx. 40 volts at the control box and across the terminals of the element. When I turn it on the voltage goes up to 117 volts. I am trying to determine if it is the element or a controller. The element is not getting hot so I am suspecting it. I am confused by it showing the 40 volts. Can anybody help me determine the real cause of No heat?

All,
Any members of this board registering for the Newell Coach rally in New Orleans? The registration is open and the rally starts April 9, 2018.

If you haven't tried Stella Mare RV resort in Galveston, you should. very nice. large sites. all concrete. class A services..we are enjoying right now..close to downtown Galveston.

I have yet to turn on the aqua hot zones and this morning when I woke up the center zone pump was making a weird noise and was running. I verified none of the zones were on but it appears to have possibly burned up. Even with the aqua hot off it continued to pump.. I cut the wire to it and will investigate more this afternoon  in a bit

hi all,

i live in arizona in the hot desert.  we have not traveled in the newell so we have had to use the heaters.  we try to get away from the heat, not go to where it is cold.  

but....we are remodeling our cabin in the mountains of northern az at 7000 feet.  so we took the coach up there to use while the place is gutted.  tonite it will be 17 degrees.  i am nice and cozy in here now.  it will be here for a few weeks, having brought it up here last week.  will be interesting to see how much diesel the aquahot uses.  i only have a 20a connection here.  

btw, it was a 150 drive from our place to our cabin.  all uphill....got 5mpg.  ughh

I'm struggling with knowing what air bags I need. I am trying to avoid removing them until I have the replacements in hand. . . .
Does anyone have bag numbers for the front, drive, & tag for a 1987 ?

I would really appreciate any help!  

Thanks,
Kyle

We are looking at a 1990 Newell with an 8v92 and a 6 sp (I think) 135k miles. What issues should we be aware of? Has minimal water damage above entry door, crack in wall rear side of dinette. Some other minor things need attention, but nothing major. Also anyone know approx. hitch capacity of the coach? Kind of flying blind on this one. Has a combo diesel/propane water heat but I can't tell if it involves the ebgine coolant or not, but seems to work fine. Could use some help as to what to look for, Thanks in advance, Mark
