Ok, this may get me answers and it may not...lol No wait, I am sure it will.
We currently own an 07 American Eagle 45H, we are thinking about changing to either a Prevost or a Newell (both used). I have been doing a tone of research on Prevost but have virtually no experience on Newell.

When looking at cost of operation and maintenance, how does a Newell compare to my current coach?
We full time, so how is it to get service on a Newell or repairs if something breaks. I was always lead to believe that if you owned a Newell be prepared as they were an electrical nightmare and the issues with their flat floors would eat you up. I was also always lead to believe that in order to own a Newell you better know the way to OK, as that is where you will have to go for all types of repair. Remember, I have no idea.

Why would someone buy a Newell over a Prevost? Prevosts are designed as a commercial vehicle to haul passengers a million miles. Newell's are special built motorhomes.

Really looking for some real assistance, not trying to start a brand war anywhere about anything. Just trying to learn to see if a Newell might be a true consideration.

Attention anyone who has a side mount generator.. the exhaust must be disconnected from above the silencer.. from the underside of the coach..my coach had a bracket that had bees attached to the pan so you can't remove it without the disconnect.. this is located behind the generator.

on my passenger side dump, there is a air valve that actuates the dump valve when you move the electrical toggle switch which is leaking. Tomorrow I will go buy the fittings to cap it off, then maybe I can remove it to see what it is, but was hoping somebody might already know from the picture below.

The air line comes into the unit in the middle of 2 brass fittings that look like air bleed off valves. The lower one is leaking. Anyone familiar with this unit?

Hello all,

I recently aquired a 1968 Newell 30' from an estate auction in Anchorage, Alaska. I have plans to do a full renovation on it. From what I've learned it's one for the first Newell's manufactured and one of the earliest models still intact. 

I'll try to post pictures of its current condition and throughout the renovation.

Any advice or publications from around this year would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Stopped for fuel did a walk around and saw this... super lucky.. new tire in the morn..

i know that for a few years including mine, newell did something different with the emergency air brakes that causes the rear axles to bind up when leveling or un leveling.  

the first time i heard a loud air bang in the bedroom at nite i just about jumped through the roof.  

from what i have heard, they did it to give more e-brake power.  the result though is very gofy when you are leveling or retruning to ride height.  you have to take off the e-brake and the coach lurches side to side, then i put it back on quickly.  

i know i am not the only one that has this and that and it is not a problem.  

has anyone came up with a solution to it?  can you remove the ebrake from the tag?

thoughts?

How much material do I need to recover my booth dinette (I would assume this is a standard size) plus the extra cushions for when it slides out?

Does anyone know what this is?

It is mounted to the air tank over the tag axle. It has some wires going to it.

It is leaking air so I need to replace it. I don't know what to search for . . . .

Thanks in advance!

   

We arrived at Crossing Creeks RV Resort and Spa located in Blairsville, GA in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is a very nice resort very similar to Terra Bella with private lots, log cabins, top-notch amenities, and a beautiful view of the mountains. We are spending 2 months here because the power company installed fiber optical internet and TV to every site, and I can work over the Internet. Our lot is a pull-through double width and about 80' long with a view of the mountains out the fron windshield.  The park is only about half full, and so far we highly recommend.

The 10 hour trip from Destin, FL through Atlanta was good because the coach ran perfectly. Atlanta traffic and construction was another story, but we made it through unscathed :-)

We also learned that Good Sams gets a nice fuel discount at Flying J and Pilot stations. We are newbies so maybe you already knew that...

Folks, last year I installed some wood in an 06 4 slide Newell with rear bath. The bath has marble and had a few cracked pieces. I checked this out but didn't want to mess
with any tile. The client contacted his nephew who does tile work in homes. He came and it took 4 days to make the coach look like factory new. I was so impressed with his work, I put out a notice on my flooring forum about him. I have no clue what he charged, but getting someone to do tile in a coach is rare. He will be preforming the work on my property here in Texas. His name is Jacob Brown and phone number is 817-999-4522
