All,
My name is Reese Cantrell and we live in East Texas. My wife and I do not a Newell, but we are looking. I have lurked on this board for a few years, but recently talked with Chappell Jordan and Richard Entrekin and they suggested that I join. We have a friend that has an 06 43' Newell and they are very happy with their coach. My wife and I have owned a 2003 Country Coach Intrigue, 2004 Foretravel U320, and a 2012 Foretravel IH 45. Up till now the Country Coach was our favorite coach. I have talked with Brian Pitts numerous times since 2007 and looked at Newell's on other websites besides the Newell site. We have been to Miami on three occasions.
Initially interested in the 2004 - 05 models to purchase, but have moved to the 06 - 08 models. What I like about the Newell Coach is the steerable tag axle, four slides, half bath, Valid slides, flat floors, rear bath, 20KW generators, and other features. The 24 hour service number with a live person is a tremendous feature to offer to their customer base. We always broke down after the service department closed. We saw both of our Foretravels being towed in the middle of the night. I have called the Newell service department and asked them questions about the coaches we were interested in and they have always been happy to be of assistance. That is good service. I have stated on the Foretravel forum and other boards that Newell is the best engineered, manufactured, and quality customer service in the motorhome industry. When we owned the IH 45 I had people ask me opinion about the IH 45 and I told them to go buy a Newell or Prevost. I told them they would be happier and less frustrated. 
Unfortunately I am not mechanically incline. When the coach has a problem I take it to mechanic for repairs. I can recognize a problem, possibility diagnosis the problem, but not repair the problem. I will probably ask more questions then provide answers on this board.
Thanks,
Reese

Hello Gurus,

I have a chassis battery that has been "boiling" when hooked up to shore power. It's sister battery on the other side of the chassis is doing well, as are the two house batteries. Am I correct in assuming I have a problem with the battery? If so I understand I should replace both chassis batteries? They are charged by a Progressive Dynamics PD9270, which looks to be a recent install.

BTW, this was Todd Flickema's coach. If you read  this Todd, am I correct that the Progressive Dynamics is fairly new? {It' 57 degrees here today. We are freezing  )

Happy new year to all.

We are new owners and several of our ceiling mounted Anthony Gallo speakers are buzzing. I've tried to unscrew one and it gets loose but the wires seem to bind up. I don't want to ruin something. Anyone know the proper way to remove them? Thanks Randy

Hi, we are extremely happy to buy our first Newell! We didn't expect to ever get a coach like this.
I've been reading this forum for years, but now have a reason to join. I look forward to learn from you all. Randy

            Hi does anyone know what the American/Foreign rocker switch is for in the engine bay electric panel, its located in the elect box at the rear of the coach, accessed through the rear and on the right side as you look at the coach from the back.
I have enclosed a picture to try and help,
Thanks
Rob

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. It's been a good year.
