We own #512 a 1999 coach.  We have a backup camera and are looking to add more.  Looking for suggestions and ideas for what others have done.

I am having a heck of a time finding a replacement for the Trans relay. It’s stamped with 150-65 150-905 12V date code is 8914. Pins 1-> 2 reads 0.02 ohms, and when it was plugged in, all spades were reading 13.4v to ground. Any idea on where to find a cross where I don’t have to rewire/remap the circuit?

I’m about to pull one of the “non-essential “ relays to get to town to dump and get propane.         

Hi all. Fluid level checked and at the correct level, no discoloration and or burnt smell. Ihave not found a manual specific to this particular transmission. I di find SM1317EN. Nothing there about upshift failure. Is this controlled by mechanical linkage from the injection rack? Or another means.
What are general upshift blocking issues on this transmission? Rhank you All.

I have identified a coach near Columbus Ohio and am looking for someone with Newell experience to inspect it for me.  Figuring that's not going to be easy and hopeful that someone might know someone, even if I have to have them travel.

Thanks,

Mark

My DW and I are experienced rver's having owned many towable RV's up to and including our current 40ft fifthwheel which we tow with a Powerstroke F250 pickup. Never owned a motorhome before but are looking at a professionally restored 1986 wide body Classic. It was purchased out of California and brought back to the midwest in 2022 and underwent a complete professional restoration at the same shop that restored a Prevost conversion bus owned by the sellers employer. It is advertised in the Pre-owned Newell's for sale FB group with a complete list of repairs and upgrades. Given it spent the first 37 years of it's existence in California I don't expect to find any significant rust on the chassis. I have restored classic 60's cars from California I know the value of being rust free. I am a electro-mechanical technician by trade myself so wrenching on something is second nature to me. Now my question. Besides generator, transmission and engine oil analysis and inspecting belts, hoses, air dryer and airlines and looking for leaks what should I be looking for mechanically on this engine. I am aware of the importance of a clean radiator to the health of the motor but how can I judge the health of the radiator itself beyond a visual inspection.
And yes we love the high end classic coaches style.
If we end up with this coach I am sure I will be drinking from a fire hose for quite a while. Thanks for any and all replies.

I need to access my heater core as it is leaking and I think the valve for the ac to heat is not working. 
What is the process for removing the dash please?

Getting ready to drive down from Alaska to spend 6 months down at Shaw AFB- so I was on my roof doing some preventive maintenence and cleaning on my rooftop air conditioners when I noticed the real slide seal was spliting down the seam on a 2 foot section on top of the slide. It still holds air but is bubbling out of its outter casing. I know I am lucky that its the rear slide so I can over retract the slide in the coach to replace the seal. I have ordered the required splice kit and seal from Newell today - about $1600 minus shipping to Alaska and it should be here within a week. I am pretty familiar with bypassing the the limit switches on the rear slide and have already bypassed the slide pins due to previous hydraulic leaks. I have been reading and will follow the procedures from others who have preformed this repair in the past seems to be about a 2 day job. Any pieces of advice from the gurus- I would love to hear them! The only major concern I have is that it seems the seal didnt last very long - previous owner had it done at Organ Motorcoach in 2016, however I belive it was not done correctly since it had a good 6 inch gap on the bottom of the slide where it looks as though they cut the seal too short but installed it anyway allowing air and water to enter if I didnt manually seal the gap everytime. I just don't want to perform this repair again in just 10 years if I can prevent it. I was pressuring it at 25 psi - too high maybe?

I have 2 more leftover puck lights that look new.
Just so you are aware, if you can't see it, Newell notches the sides so the wires can be passed.
   

They're yours if you just pay for the shipping.

Hi guys, my water bay had been leaking for some time, slowly getting worse and soaking the display board. I have found the leak and stopped it (thanks Tom!) however the board does not display any information. The board is now in my hands and all the components measure good but I cannot get a consistent read on the two switches (fresh water level, waste water level.)

The switches have part number 0030-201 on them, but I cannot find the right switch anywhere. Does anyone know where these might be available? 

   

Thanks!

Dave
