hi all,

i know some of you have put in or have coaches that have a ford vacuum pump that sucks the air out of the slide seal so it wont get caught.  

could someone please put up an electrical and air schematic for me on how it is installed?

i need to do it and dont want to have to figure it out on my own.   yea richard, i know a long time ago i took pictures of yours....somewhere...

I'm looking for info and advice on towing my 1972 Buick Electra Limited behind our 1974 Newell.  I looked into hauling it on a trailer but I would need a heavy tandem axle trailer.  I think it would look much cooler running down the road behind the Newell any way. 

Any suggestions on towing setups?  Any advice or suggestions would also be appreciated. The Buick is set up from the factory to be towed.  It is in the owners manual anyway. 

I tried to attach a picture of a Buick like mine so you can see what I'm talking about. 

Thanks!

hello gurus,  

darlene and i host an annual BBQ for friends and family that will be taking place on Saturday Evening, April 29th at our place in Wittmann, AZ.

if any of you are in the area and are interested in attending, please contact me at [email protected]

no cost and only thing we ask is if you have any lightly used clothing to bring as we gather clothing to donate to a local charity thrift store that serves our little community.  

normally i have full hookups available if you are in your coach, but i will not have any avail for this. there is parking for coaches, but with no hookups.  

we hope some of you can come.   

tom and darlene

Hello all, I have a couple glide-out questions from a newbies perspective that I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on. First, I've heard mention frequently that one should check the seal to make sure it's not sticking to the glide before retracting the glide.  This is easily done on the vertical sides and the horizontal bottom, but how about the horizontal top of the slide? Or is the most potential for sticking on the vertical sides, as opposed to the horizontals on the top and bottom.?  Second question, looking at the bottoms of all of my glides, they have metal tracks that they slide in on, it appears. What should I lube them with? Thank you all in advance!

My microphor has never worked on the 12V air compressor alone. Today I was trying to sequence the events to determine what to repair. So I turned on 12V comp. and let it run til it shut off. ( probably 7-10 minutes). I flush the toilet and it "stalls out" after the flap in the bowl has closed. It sits there leaking air and gurgling as the 12V comp. runs, eventually the bowl flap appears to leak as the air pressure is lost. Air pressure at the regulator is 5-6#.  If I go to the air pressure regulator and shut the air off to the toilet the compressor eventually tops off the tank and shuts off. Then if I open the air pressure regulator, as the air pressure reaches around 25# I can hear air hissing in the system and then as the pressure builds to 38-39# I hear a small thump in the toilet and everything seals up normally. I have tried this procedure with a starting air pressure of 40# as well as 45#.
I rebuilt the toilet last summer and overall performance improved. It works fine using the engine or 120V air comp. It acts as though there is not enough air volume/pressure to complete a flush even though the 12V compressor kicks on almost immediately.

Hi All..........we just purchased our first Newell, coach #599. Picked it up in OKC, drove directly home to Michigan because of time constraints, dealt with rain and high winds (30+ mph gusts) all the way.  But it drove great!

Got home 7pm last night, still raining, only to realize that our garage door was 5 inches too low.  ugh!  Bled the air bags and rolled in very slowly, cleared the highpoint a/c unit with one inch to spare. 

Shut the garage door to start exploring the interior; slides 1 and 2 went out just fine, slide 3 won't go out (it worked fine in pre-purchase testing).  Called Newell 911, and still working with them currently to fix the situation. 

Overall, kind of a rough start to our first Newell experience, but I still think we're going to like it lots.

Hi all.....I just purchased #599, a 2001 triple slide w/ DD Series 60, working my way home from OKC to Michigan. I stopped at Newell Coach today, got a little "Newell 101" from Randy. SO many controls to learn. Randy told me it was ok to run down the road with the "Detroit Engine Pre heat" switch in the on position, as it would act as "motor aid" water heater. When doing just that today, after about 5 hours of driving, a red "pre heat" light came on in the "warning lights" section of the instrum panel. What does this mean?  Thanks in advance! Bryan
