Hello to all, I just purchased coach #371 and I can't get the smile off of my face. I also own a 37' Vogue with a DD 6V92TA and will be selling it. My wife and I have had several rv's over the years and as we plan for retirement and spending several months per year in it we think this will fit our needs.

Having trouble just lately with my leveling system. I am attaching a couple of pics of my 6 packs that I have on coach number 372. They appear to be differant than most others. The solinod valves on mine are Smc product model numberNVK334. Does any one else have this product on their HWH units on thier coachs. WIth some research they appear to be around $30 usd each. Any way of checking with one or more of the 18 that could be faulty? mike

the flooding there is epic right now.  one of our gurus and moderators (Forest) lives in the middle of all of it.  His cell phone is not working but we talked via messenger this morning and he and cindy are fine and fortunately though the flooding is extremely close to them, they were spared.  He lives just outside of Baton Rouge.  

I know there are other friends near there and i hope all of you are ok.

I have been waiting for a new transfer switch to come in and while I was waiting I have hard wired the shore power cord directly to the coach bypassing the switch..  My battery charger does not appear to be working in this configuration. Is anyone aware of something in the transfer switch controls the battery charger also?

Okay, so on my 1991 Newell, last week I plugged in to shorepower and when I switched to shorepower inside I heard  chattering from the back. I replaced both contactors in the transfer box, but now when I plug to shore power, it'll blow the fuse in the transfer box as soon as I switch to shorepower inside the coach. And even the generator won't supply power now. Today, after searching, I decided to pull the washer out and what I discovered was where the braided SS hose that supplies hot water was touching the back of the machine, it had shorted out and burned through the SS onto the metal backing plate. It wasn't burned on the inside and nothing else on the washer was damaged. I followed the copper pipe and didn't see any obvious contact points, so any ideas what or where I might look?

Hello all,
 I've had my 91 Newell a little over a year and I agree Newell's are constructed very well. But when they have issues, even their small issues can be bigger than most issues other coaches have.  I've been fortunate to have owned a 93 and 94 Monaco, 98 Foretravel and Country Coach as well as 88 Elite, which I still own, so I'm no stranger to RV's. But this Newell is testing me. I currently have an electrical issue that is a head scratcher.  I'll move this to the electrical thread so as not to get off topic here. 
But I have lurked here on and off for the past year and have enjoyed and learned a few things by reading the different posts.

Good Morning fellow Gurus,

Barb and I have decided to change direct, i.e. alter our "life-style".  For the past 4 years we have traveled  the western U.S.  fulltime in our Newell.  We found a great rv community (SoCal) to spend our winters and have not traveled as much this past year.  Time to sell our Newell "home" and get something we can park on our lot (most likely a 5th wheel) and just use a Class C  to do shorter outings and summer trips.
  
I have read many of the previous posts discussing the pros and cons of private vs consignment sales. Many valid points both ways.  I have always followed the "For Sale" ads on the various web sites....just because.  Now that we have made a decision to sell, I find myself on the fence.  Naturally, I want the most for my coach but realize a private sale is more work.  I doubt a trade-in will net me more.

My questions: 
1.   How much is realistic to expect if I sell myself?  (what are normal consignment fees)  
2.   For those who have used the consignment  route - What are the things to look for / watch out for in 
      a consignment contract?

Thanks for any insight / experiences  that the gurus can offer.

i went out into the shop and the door wouldnt open.  the air pressure was all the way down.  then i heard the compressor try to start.  i felt it and it was very hot.  the head pressure either isnt releasing enough or the compressor is struggling.  

oh well, i needed something to do..
