Ppmy coach (1995..385) has a relay that powers 2 wires 
Both are orange with white stripe. One wire powers AC compressor 
And I have no idea what the other wire powers... BUT it’s pulling about 28 amps
It doesn’t go the fan motors. With this wire unhooked everything seems to work
But with it on the relay something is pulling a lot of amps. Something is amiss

Anyone have any thoughts....

Hello Gurus,
I'm still looking for "my" coach, and I've been rather enamored with this coach that has been for sale in Montana all summer.
All of the ads are currently expired, but the seller tells me it's still available.
Originally listed at $65K, I believe it was last listed for $45K.
Is anyone here familiar with this unit? Any info would be appreciated.
The seller tells me they got it in Illinois if that helps.
All I have to show you is this attached      photo, 
and an old partial ad listing.

Thanks for any and all info.

While at newell # 390 was pulled in to alignment pit and the passenger side hcv was dumping air.When air dropped below 90 psi leaking or exhausting stopped.Replaced hcv with one I had on board that Richard suggested I carry with me.Same result.Newell folks are not fans of this hcv so a Newell plastic bodied one was installed.Same result.After much head scratching cussing and discussion Mike a service writer came to the rescue.He observed the problem for about 10 minutes and proclaimed the driver side rear up solenoid needed to be replaced.This was on a Thursday about 4:30 pm.I had a motorcycle race I was competing in the following day 2 hours away.Needless to say I am having visions of not making the race and staying in God's country 3 more days at minimum.My understanding of the air system told me that Mike's idea was not the answer.I was wrong( as usual).The solenoid fixed the problem.I still do not understand that.Big props to the staff at Newell for staying 45 minutes after 5:00 pm on payday to get me on my way.I meet Bill( Bikestuff) and Mike( LandYachts) while I was there.Nice guys.Enjoyed the wisdom you shared with me.

Kudos to Clint Johnson for this one.  He found an almost identical replacement at AutoZone.  They work and look just like the originals once they are installed.

Autozone Duralast part number 19812.

The only difference is the mounting holes are slightly closer together.   And there is only one #1 terminal.  Clint overcame the terminal difference by pig tailing his wires together.  I overcame this difference by using a terminal doubler like these.

Right now AutoZone is offering free shipping.  I had them shipped directly and received them in 5 days.

OK Gurus

We have an older unit 395. I’ve spent 2-3 days working on the dash heater/AC fans
The fans quit on our way home from Houston. There was no power at dash switch.
At the suggestion of a guru I ran a hot  wire to switch, fans ran on high only.
I found a bad relay (been hot 30 amp) and replaced it with a 40 amp and nothing worked.
I again used the hot wire to switch. The fans came on, I removed wire and the fans still
Work (only on high speed
Does anyone have any ideas what’s going on? I have called Newell, but most everyone
Who helped build my coach have retired. Glenn was stumped

I have used words I used back in my Army days

Wow, how time flies!
Sorry for the short notice, but here goes . . .

I am hosting a "non rally" at Palmetto Cove RV park in Cleveland SC on October 12th to 15th

Friday night -- Spaghetti, bread & salad provided -- desert pumpkin pie & ice cream

Saturday morning  --  omelets in a bag

Saturday lunch  --  on your own

Saturday night  -- BBQ & beans -- bring your favorite sides or desert

Sunday morning  --  Coffee, juice & doughnuts

The Cove now accepts reservations, so make them as soon as you can & tell them you are with the bus-nuts.
http://www.palmettocove.com/index.html

All sites are full hookup with lots of 50 amp sites available.

There is no rally fee, you just pay for your campsite and contribute as you like - donation, side dishes, fellowship. . . . .

There will be Airstream trailers & motor homes there, a few converted buses, some sticks & staples & at least 1 classic Newell in attendance.

Hope to see more Newells there !

I just received an email from Brian Pitts that #1533 has just been traded in. It is not listed on their website yet. 

Price will be $1,495,000. 

It is a quad slide, front entry, with the Cummin ISX 600 HP engine and the Allison 6 speed tranny. It has Travertine tile flooring throughout. I am attaching a few photos from back in Feb of 2015 when it was first offered by Newell.

This is a dumb question. Isn't a seal just like an inner tube on a bike? Assuming the hole is located where one can get to it, couldn't you patch it just like tube?

Hi all! 
My wife and I are looking to purchase a 2002 Quad slide Newell. Assuming that the current owners have maintained their Newell, what should I be on the look out when considering the purchase? 
The coach has 148k miles and they are the second owners.
