I am new to the forum. I have owned several gas RVs and am looking to upgrade to a DP. I have pretty much eliminated prevost in my investigation and settled on Newell or Foretravell. I'm limited on funds, so I'll be looking at older Rvs. I'be found that I can buy an older Newel for the same price range of a later model Foretravel. I'm looking for guidance to help in my decision making. Why would want to buy Newell over a later Foretravel? There is much I don't knowabout Newell, especially the chassis. All input would be appreciated.

I have changed out the front airbags (W01-358-9447). The main portion of the bags were OK except near the top and where they fold over at the bottom. The bottom is where the main weaknesses were. The right front bag had the rubber crumbling off if rubbed by hand. The others were cracked and checked at that location. 

There was a "BUMPER DATE" on the tag on the top with a -92 on it which may mean the bags were original to the coach. That is pretty darn good for a rubber part. The rear bags look good so they probaby have been replaced once.

IT took about 8 weeks to get the new bags, factory delay with the rubber sleeves was blamed. I plan to save a couple old bags in case someone is on the road and can't find a new one. Ordinarily, Truck Spring in Saginaw, MI stocks these. They had one in stock when I called to get 4.

We are just now finding out the scope of the data breach at Yahoo. Approximately 1/2 MILLION Yahoo accounts were hacked back in 2014. The breach includes email addresses, names, passwords, security questions, telephone numbers, and birthdays. If you have a Yahoo email account, or an account with Yahoo's other sites, such as Tumblr or Flickr, you need to take immediate action. Log into to your account and change your password, then change your security questions. If you use those passwords or security questions on ANY other account, it is advisable to change those also.

I'm looking at a 2016 Ford Edge SEL. Has anyone used one of these or know someone? Do they make a good tow car, etc. I plan on a Blue Ox system, all 4 wheels down, with the brakeing system. Any discussion will help.

Rhonda and I are finally in our Florida home. We have a 60 ft drive with full hookups. Stop by sometime.

Forest, Mel told me this morning that your 98 is coming back if you would like to own it again.  The owner who bought it had the inside completely redone.  Mel said he spent a lot of money on it.  I think you should jump on it, because we would like to have you back. He is trading it on the 06 Newell with the yellow stripe that MOT has now.  He is also having a lot done to it before he takes delivery.

well here we in NH 1700 miles from home in FL and the second radiator failure in as many years. Newell first replaced radiator with a new Atlas Sept. 2011, radiator failed Oct 2013 and Creative Coach replaced with a new Atlas radiator; now Sept 2016 radiator failure again. There must be a cause for this so the radiator lasts more than 24 months, Atlas disavows all responsibility, despite my insistence that regardless of warranty period the radiator should last ten years approx(the original radiator in our 1999 Newell was 12 years old when it failed). We monitor pH and change the coolant filter once a year. Same failure problems appears to be corrosion along the bottom of the radiator.
Need help from anyone out there with same experience or a knowledge base.
Thanks

My front AC does not operate. After checking for any obvious signs of damage, aside from dust, the only visible difference between the front and middle AC was that the front AC control module has some oil residue on the bottom plate and a few wires, which it appears to have discolored. I don't see where it originated from, but maybe it leaked from the black component secured under the metal strap seen in the attached picture.

So I have a new issue that seems to come and go with the time of day. When I start the engine, the 'Check Engine' and 'Stop Engine' light are on but go off, except sometimes they both come back on in less than 10 seconds and the engine will shut off accordingly. But then without touching anything, I can start it back up and it'll run fine.  
I was driving through Indiana last summer and had a similar issue that turned out to be caused by a bad coolant temp module. We had to spend the night on a deserted offramp, but fortunately the mobile mechanic, who showed up the next morning, happened to have a 'vintage' scanner that fit and could read the coaches error codes.  Mobile RV tech's with the appropriate scanner are a rare breed in my area, so I'm reaching out here.  
Thanks in advance for any help.
