Hello. My name is Sam Shroyer. From Muncie Indiana. Month ago I purchased this  coach in Columbus IN. Drove her home . Once made it back the skeletons come.. just little overwhelming lol. Looking forward to making her ready for a small trip. But. The  shiny 92 has water in the  exhaust . Looks like its coming down from the turbo. And has a ground problem that shuts down  generator ..Been cleaning all connections . Trying to make sense of the converter charger .

we are in sunny (at last) TEXAS helping. We departed KY Sunday afternoon and the trip
Took 3 days. Everywhere we turned we faced closed roads. The folks at MOT allowed
Us stay on their lot overnight ( good people)

Clean up is moving on, but at a slow pace

Many groups have made the trip to assist. Feeding this many volunteers is a big job
We went a a local pizza place to pick up lunch and people were carrying out 20-30
Pies at a time. Wait times were 60-70 minutes 

The smell of molding furniture and carpet seeps though the air.
The biles of debris grows as you watch
Just hauling it away will be a huge undertaking 

 But Houston will rebuild

We returned from Newell today after some work and I noticed the engine running from 180° to 200° on the way home in 92°+ ambient
pulling our 2009 Dodge pickup. What concerned me was the transmission temps edging the 220° mark. The radiator sight glass is more than half full.

Is this about normal, or should I begin checking and worrying? We were running at 65 mph.

Thanks!

Hi all.  I have been lurking on this forum and the Foretravel forum for several months now. The wife and I are just a few years from hopefully retirement and hoping to do some traveling. For my 60th birthday present to me we rented a 40 foot pusher, loaded the bikes in the trailer and headed from Michigan to Sturgis for 2 weeks. We have been in tents and trailers but as we thought the motor home is a great way to go. Now just making the finances work and then finding the right coach. I will try to soak up some more of your collective knowledge. Mike

Hello everyone,

This may be a long shot, but we're looking for a newer Newell, 2013 and up, where we would take over the payments. If a Newell owner is interested, please let's know.

I picked up my 2018 Newell about 4 weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it!!!!  This is my first Newell, and also my first motor coach :Smile!

I'm learning all of the systems and doing pretty good but, I tried to fill one of the tires on the tag axle today using the air hose from the engine compartment.  There wasn't enough air pressure even though I had the engine running and I pumped the brakes to make sure the compressors were running.  I looked for a valve to turn on but couldn't find anything.

Can anyone shed some light on how to use this?

Thanks,

Gregory Miller

hi all,

my coach is a 2002 and has the tag and drive wheel brakes activated when the emergency air brake is applied.  bill johnson and i were talking and figure they did that from late 90's till 2004 sometime.  

what it causes on mine is a lot of rear axle groaning, popping and when i leveling the coach i have to take the e brake on and off several times.  when i release the e brake the coach will lurch and change level.  in talking to newell, it is a known problem.

it is most annoying.  so my question is this.....is there any reason i couldnt disconnect the air e brake from the tag wheels and just have it on the drives like i believe alot of the coaches have done?

any thoughts?

tom
