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

I have extra tickets to the NASCAR race at Talladega, AL.  I also have a camping spot with our group which includes a pass for a tow vehicle.  The campground opens Tuesday morning May 2nd.  I have three grandstand tickets for Friday, Saturday & Sunday May 5, 6 & 7th.  The grandstand seats are with our group & are three rows from the top of the OV Tower.  You see the whole track!  Richard & Rhonda bought our tickets last time we had some available & I believe they will vouch for the fact that the tickets are top notch.  email me if you have any questions.

Tickets are being sold at a discount:
Camp site-$100
Grandstand tickets are $125 per set(3 days one person)  3 sets available.

While on the way to Memphis I noticed that the longer I drove on a continuous basis the more my steering deteriorated. the steering column in the area of the tilt mechanism would start squeaking and the steering would increasingly have an initial stickiness when I made a steering input. It became a matter of the steering inputs being stick, move, oversteer, stop, stick, move, oversteer in the opposite direction and stop, repeated endlessly. The problem wasn't severe, it just made precision difficult. The problem disappeared for several hours when I applied some Teflon spray through the various gaps in the column covers near the tilt mechanism. Since I arrived in Memphis I've sprayed while lithium grease through the same openings hoping for a longer term solution. BTW, the steering improvement was wonderful. I had not realized the concentration that I had been investing as a result of the stickiness.

Now that I've eliminated the leak in the step slide I'm down to the air compressor running about once per 20 hours more or less. Now I have an interesting leak down situation. All three needles (2 brake and 1 supply) drop in unison. So, either there remains a leak in the systems from the supply tank and bot check valves on the two brake tanks are back flowing at the identical rate, or there are equal leaks in each of the two brake systems, or there is some common place where the two brake systems somehow come together and a single leak could effect all the pressures equally. None of these three explanations seems plausible. It's a puzzle that I'll be noodling on for a while it seems.Given the leakage rate it's not like this is an urgent problem. Actually, if it was just the leakage rate I wouldn't be bothered. What bothers me is I can't figure out how the leakage pattern is possible. I hate being stumped, it's one of my several mental obsessions.

Any thoughts?

the central vacuum cleaner on my Newell sends 120V to the micro switch where the hose plugs in. Is there a way to make that a low voltage circuit? I'm thinking of using a relay. I'm wondering if there is a relay available that's also reduces the voltage in the signal wire?

We are the proud new owners of coach 414. Originally ordered by the Blakes "Lot A Burger" Family here in New Mexico.

how do i determine the tongue weight of hitch on my coach #748?
