We currently tow 4 down a VW Beetle and a Traverse (when we carry our Cricket).  We have thought about enclosed trailers.  A long time ago we had a dolly to Tow our BMW but that was always a pain when we got to a place to just stay the night and had to take car off, unhook and then put the dolly somewhere. 

My question on trailers has been the laws.  We have a 40 footer now and will move up to a 45 footer.  Adding 28 or 30 feet surpasses some of the State laws.  Had a friend once bringing his race car on a stacker and Toy Hauler and was stopped due to length.  It was a few years back, has it changed now?

Quad Slide 2020P,  front entry, bath and a half with 8,000 miles, listed on NewellCoachSales.com

Could use some direction. Under my sofa in our 95 newell we have a 12 volt heat exchanger that has 6 outlets for the front heat source. Markings on it has Aurura 6933 mudan. It is leaking antifreeze and the 12 volt motor has seen its days. Any one have a link that you could share with me so I could order a complete new unit. Mike #372

The coach was stored in Mexico for five months and I tried yesterday to take it to Arizona, but the transmission would not go into gear.  Newell advise me to start generator and hold the retract switch a few seconds longer.  That worked to get me going, but it happened again half way out of Mexico.  This time nothing worked, so another call the Newell.  Advise was to switch on the transmission override switch located in the bay under the drivers seat.  This worked so that I could continue my travels and find the problem another day.  It is so important he have factory's help when stuck on the road, especially out of the country.

I have a vacu-maid central vac and a truck heater up for grabs. These are all from a 1983 Classic and appear to be in good condition but untested. (furnace is gone)

All,
Curious about the part/s that you carry in the coach for emergency situations. Do you carry belts, hoses, filters, and/or other items? Advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi there
I purchased this last year in Indianapolis at Campers World - I saw pictures of this coach in the old forum list by year directory - when I bought this coach "great deal" they said it was a 35 foot unit. when I got the Michigan title setup - the serial number and information on the coach was 30 foot. From watching the conversations on this site and measuring the coach the body size is 32 foot. 
I'm hoping to discover any past information on this unit if anyone knows.
It is a short one - serial 3000RE1030D 6J

I've attached the old owners pictures, I think they were dated 2006 if that helps. Also added the serial plate and the info CW had listed when we bought it.

I look at all the pictures of the other coaches in this age range - most are quite a bit bigger. Like for underneath storage we have very little. I kind of like the shorter unit though. I'm sure it weighs less - well maybe a little  

The previous owner put in an International 9.0 Diesel V8 to replace the triple nickel - the reviews on the engine are poor online, however a couple of schooly bus owners have good things to say about it. I guess I'm going to hope for the best but put aside the money to have it replaced if needed. The thing starts up great and purrs away, so I'm hopeful to get a couple of year's out of it. Any diesel options out there that weigh less and could give me 200hp? 

I'm having fun going through the coach and fixing the needed items. Body and paint will start once the weather is improved her in Michigan. It's getting close now.
My big job now is getting the wood replaced by the windows leaking, no weep holes on the outside of a few of the windows. Thanks to some information from all you guru's I'll be doing the glass replacement on a couple and doing the felt on most.
Does anyone know where I can pick up a close to match for the Formica used on the wall's? It looks like Walnut to me. I will probably be covering some with a nice textured wall paper to lighten things up for my wife. That being said I'd still like to get everything as close to original as I can and make sure I can change it back if she changes her mind.

The water leaks have also led to my new floor project - leaning toward sold bamboo flooring. should this be glued in place or glues together to keep it full floating? Any help or comments is appreciated. Or should I go with the fake/plastic wood options for weight? they also look nice to me.

I can't wait to get it out on the road, however I have many items that need attention first. My paint project is going to be tough. I'm going to be taking it down all the way to the aluminum, I have a lot of peeling and small area all over the place with corrosion, and as others have done I'll be removing all the lower items and tanks and will be re-doing and re-sealing most items.

What is suggested for the propane heaters. I think I have three or four. I've seen some hydro based heaters that look interesting. Something diesel based with a electric element for when you're hooked up to shore power. My electric heaters also seem to work pretty well when attached. Anyone done anything with updating these systems?

Again - thanks to all you guru's - it helps to have a great forum with people that have a lot of past experience on these!!

I've got a few year's of work to go before I can retire, this stuff always takes longer then you think. That's my experience anyway.

Hello, we plan on purchasing either a Newell or Prevost within the next couple of years.  I've researched both quite extensively and lean more towards the Newells.  Been to the shows and always ask the questions which handles better, which are more reliable, easier to maintain, ease of towing for repair, caging brakes, disconnecting drives, tandems, etc.  Working on house fixtures, wiring, plumbing and all the things that go with Luxury Coaches.  Of course it has always been talking with sales folks.  Each always has biases towards their Coaches, one thing has always been don't drive either unless your planning to purchase. 

Currently own a CC Affinity for the last 8 years and love it but will be moving up and tired of having a Coach that is no longer manufactured.  Replacement parts get harder to find and replace.  Not new to having an RV (Repair Vehicle), first was a 1971 Champion, didn't even have a house battery or water pump, all wood and was like driving a sail.  Have been through the gambit of replacing and fixing things, some of it a labor of love. 

All suggestions and thoughts will be welcomed, love the site and enjoy reading the posts.  Hopefully one day will have a Newell in our signature. 

Thanks!

here are the documents for wiring and reprogramming the keyless entry.  it is on my 2002 newell

Well good afternoon to anyone who is interested in the journey of my coach.
I purchased 1218 back in December last year near Salt Lake City with the intention of bringing her back to the UK.
The purchase went smoothly and i flew back home to plan the trip.
I had a agent drive the coach the 2300 miles to Baltimore for shipping which also went ok. It had to come through some nasty weather and snow but made it to the docks. Once in the docks the power steering failed as the drive cog on the power steering shaft sheered off but at least she had made the big trip ok!
Fortunately the driver who took it to Baltimore managed to arrange a replacement pump and a mechanic to replace it so finally it could drive onto the ship. 
I have to say though a fee of $50 per day to allow the Mechanic into the port to replace the part was a little harsh!
She arrived into Southampton Three weeks later having visited Jacksonville before the trip across the pond, The ship then passed through the English channel and went into Zeebrugge in the Netherlands first and then on to Bremerhaven in Germany before finally coming back through the English channel and into Southampton. All the way through this trip i was tracking the ship in anticipation of its arrival. You can imagine the frustration watching the ship pass through the English channel and past Southampton on its way to Zeebrugge and Bremerhaven knowing it would be another week before it docked in the UK.
But the day arrived in late January and the call came that she was on the dock and had cleared customs, At last!!
I went down to collect her and found her looking rather sad on the dock, she obviously has a air leak as she's was sat down on one side with a fairly decent list to the port side! either that or she was getting her land legs back after Three weeks at sea, Im guessing its a air leak!
With the duties paid and a slip of paper in my hand that released her from customs i went to fire her up with a fair degree of excitement and nerves! will she start?
Well i turned on all the batteries and she fired up straight away, hit the travel button on the jacks and she soon levelled up and off we went.
Well i can tell you a 47foot Newell on UK roads is a big bit of kit and she draws a lot of attention and i have to say the price of fuel over here makes it a scary trip to the pumps! its £1200 to fill her up or just under $1500! 
But all that said she is now back home and undergoing a electrical conversion to 240volts on the ring mains and hook up through a transformer so she can be used over here.
Part of this job is easy due to the very good labelling on the fuse boxes and the fact that some 110v items which have to remain 110v like the fridge, A/C, water pump, microwave etc are on separate rings to the plug sockets,
So we can bring in 240v through a step down transformer to 110v then use a step up transformer on the power socket ring mains, a fairly straight forward job to be honest.
A difficulty has occurred though in that in the States the electric supply is at 60hz and in the UK and Europe we operate at 50hz and the Silverleaf system has identified that the power is at the wrong cycles so won't allow it to enter, very clever! So now i am having a 20kva transformer built with a frequency converter built in, (this is normally used for marine or aviation purposes) and we will be installing this in the next couple of weeks.  
So there we are, 1218 is in the UK and will be visiting the race tracks of Europe in the not to distant future. With this coach spending its life in the USA traveling around in the Nascar Championship with Jimmie Johnson and now over here about to visit the race tracks of Europe it could end up visiting most of the race tracks in the world! She just needs a trip to the Middle East to make up a full set!
Anyway, happy travels and i will update how things go over here and I'm sure as before i will be asking for advise with little problems along the way!
cheers
Rob
