I do not own a Coach but really like the older Newells and Blue Birds.  Recently found this site and have enjoyed reading the posts and have learned a lot about Newells.  Thanks to the owner of this thread and to those of you who share your questions, ideas and solutions.  Obviously owning an older coach will bring about some things that need to be repaired and/or maintained.  The knowledge posted on your site is very helpful.  I am close to retirement and planning to buy my first coach in the next year or so.  Currently I like the early to mid 2000's.  Thank you for allowing me to be a participant on this site.  Kind Regards,  Ken

Folks, I do engineered wood in coaches. If you want some LVT, I have up doing that product a year ago. Mannington Adura was the best material for that, however.

We replaced our tag axle airbags last year and now we want to replace the rear axle and front axle bags.

Does anyone have a record of the bag numbers for a 1997 Newell 45 foot coach?

Thanks

Cindy

I am looking for a con met cm99-500d filter. It seems that con met now only deals in hubs and brake drums. Does anybody have a source or cross reference number. Thanks in advance.

I need to plug into a 20 amp GFI plug, but when I do the plug faults.  I have adjusted the inverter down to 15 amps.  I have shut every thing off, but it still faults.  Sometimes it will stay on for a short period & my electrical monitoring gauges shows a draw of 7 amps.  Is there something in my vintage coach that keeps us from using a GFI protected circuit?  Is there a work around?  I only want to run the battery charger and the refrigerator.  

I called Newell & they had never been asked the question and knew of nothing in the coach that would prevent using a GFI protected circuit.

After replacing the generator back into the coach one of the water hoses rubbed cracked and was leaking coolant. Replaced the hose and then had an air lock..the way we finally got it to release was to Crack the butterfly valve on top of the thermostat housing. Let the water level in the reservoir drop then top it back off and crack the valve again. Repeat approximately 20 times until water flowed from butterfly valve.

Thank you newell for the assist.

On our latest trip we experienced some issues with our toilet. The bowl will not hold water which I assume is a gasket issue and we now have no water to the toilet. After researching several posts on this site I am convinced the toilet has never operated as it should. My question is where should I start to correct these issues.

I have always been a gearhead. Here is my list of top ten favorites. Design and performance are my considerations.

1963 Corvette split window, especially with the factory sidepipes!!
1977-79 Pontiac TransAm
1947-54 Chevrolet AD trucks, I currently have a '52 panel that I'm street rodding. Hope to have it done someday.
Any Diamond T pick-up
1970 Oldsmobile 442
1967 Pontiac GTO
1965 Chevrolet Impala 2 door "fastback"
1940 Ford
1970 Hemi Cuda
1957 Chevrolet Nomad wagon.
Some Jeeps

There are others that I like as well. I have been blessed to own a couple of these over the years. (I never owned a '63 split window  B-(  .

Wondering what length this Newell is ? I know it's a 1989 coach. Many problems with a 40 in state parks [amoff][/amoff]
