I would like to thank all newell owners who have replied to my posts over the last six years. Owning a newell was a great experience and a learning curve. Thanks Tom, Steve and all the rest for the support when needed. Newell coach #372 has moved on to a very nice couple that has stayed in the province of Alberta Canada. Thanks again to everyone

So, the leak we encountered in the bedroom is definitely due to sealing around the window frame. I found 2 specific spots where I could cause water ingress with a hose. For the moment I've applied sealant externally but ultimately plan to remove the window frame and reinstall with a new round of butyl tape.

However the question now stands as to the existing damage. Here's a picture of where the water ingress point was under the corner of the window frame and where it ran down the wall. There is a bit of mold here obviously after pulling the wall paper off.

Any opinions on whether this can be treated or if we need to replace this section of plywood in the outer wall?

If replacement is necessary - how difficult a job is that? Will the foam layer in the wall get damaged by removing the plywood? I also worry that this particular sheet disappears behind the left bedroom wall. The stain stops before the wall but I worry replacement would require replacing the entire sheet, including what is behind the laminate wall.

The transfer switch has reared its head again. It won't engage the generator side. When I have pushed it down manually I got a polarity light above the dash.. how can the generator be a bad polarity? Wonder if it won't engage because it sees a polarity issue .? Or may be it thinks there is an issue..

I was at Motorhomes of Texas visiting and looking at two coaches.  This was a fresh one they got back on the lot and I took some pics and decided to post some of it here.  I believe they are looking for $220, but it is not listed yet.

Pics and a video walkthrough

Saw a nice Newell headed south on US 60 today in Surprise, AZ.  At quick glance it kind of looked like the Larry B. coach.

*Our sliding pantry door has started dragging on the bottom edge. I am thinking the hinges may have loosened causing it to sag or drop. Anyone messed with adjusting this type of sliding pantry? Pic below...

[]         []     My passenger side mirror had received some major trauma in the past. Ramco mirrors have replacement parts available. Somebody had glued a mirror in the housing and cut the wires to the adjustment motor. Originally it had two mirrors in the housing but I preferred one. I got new mirror glass, and ball mount sockets from Ramco. I had to fabricate a mount that attaches to the motor and applied Velcro. That is how they mount the glass now. I reattached the wires and now can adjust the mirror "on the fly!"

We recently sold our Newell #676 and had purchased new a Jun-Air OF 302 compressor as a spare.  No longer needing for our new coach, we are looking to sell this "new and still in the box" compressor.  We purchased in August of 2015.  Per the attached picture, the unit was manufactured in January 2012.

We are asking $500 plus shipping(unit weighs around 30-32 pounds).  Send me a PM and we can go from there.

Thanks for looking
