I am looking for some new basement door latches for our classic.  I'm looking for the actual latch and the part in the picture below.  It holds the doors open, they tend o break.  I have two that work out of 9.  I think the actual door latch is a Ford part but can't find a part number on any of them.  

Would any other Classic owners know if these were original and where I might be able to find them? If there not original do you know what was?  Trying to keep everything as original as possible on the exterior.  

Ok, lights may be a exception to the original.  Has anyone replaced all their exterior lights with LED's?  Do you like the way it looks? 

Thanks,
Roy...

Just got my Glass Dash from SilverLeaf.  Dale from SL did a nice job in building the dash and wiring harness.
My friend and I installed it after 5 p.m. today.  Everything seems to go together and seemingly work fine.  The only stumbling block we ran into was connecting the three air sensors (pic. 1).  We don't know where they go. Called Dale, he couldn't help on the phone either. We found a possible position right above the  brake pedal (last two pics.) where there may connect.  Can anyone help or suggest who could help??

Hi Guru's , I have question about the circuit boards that are used in the basement Air Conditioning.  Mine has been working properly until yesterday., late in the afternoon the front section of the coach started to push out  warm air  ( no air conditioning) the other zones were just fine, nice cold air. I turn off the front for a few minutes , it started cold and than turned to warm again.  I called Newell and he said it might be a relay on the circuit board. I was told they don't make the board anymore, but, I read somewhere, that there is a place to get a new board now. 
   Does anyone have any info on this. Thanks again, John and Pat Hilditch, Dillon, Mt

Would someone please enlighten me on what Newell Build Numbers (if that's what they are called) relate to those Classic units built during '84 thru '89? I'm actively researching for a coach built during that times and believe that knowing more about these numbers will help in the "Coaches for Sale" threads.

As I have stated before if anyone knows of a Newell of that vintage that is for sale please pass on my contact information or call me.

Thank you,
Mike

I'm new to the Newell world and just started my research on purchasing one in the 84 to 89 year range. One thing I find disconcerting is that so many coaches with under one hundred thousand miles have had rebuilds on engines that should last "forever."  I surmise that an engine in a coach that is ten to fifteen or twenty years old or older and has under one hundred thousand miles on it must have just not been used enough. These same engines are designed to go close to a million miles.
What's up with that?  Huh

I have a 1989 Newell and need to install a brake controller in the coach.
I have never pulled a trailer with this coach but will be doing so on my next trip.
 
This coach has a 7 post terminal (round male) at the rear of the coach but does not have power to this unit as near as I can tell.
I will need to change the rear terminal to the flat blade spade type.

My immediate problem is to locate the wiring which I presume will be under the dash.

Any input will be appreciated.
