Had the light since I bought it last week and bugged me....
The slides came in fine, the top pins locked but the light was still on....So on the hunt.

First off the Dextron fluid level was  2 quarts low and filled it to dipstick level with slides closed.
The i started looking around at alignment, hydraulic system, solenoids, wires......to finally get on top of the slides where the pin holes are.
I am ordering a new slideout awning from Zip-Dee and wanted to make sure all looks good on top...then what do I find ? A bunch of crap, dirt, seeds, junk filling the holes about one inch or so...the pins would not go in fully with all that junk in there.

Air hose, screwdriver to clean the hole good and scrape all the junk, both clean 10 min later.
Now looked at the bedroom slide top holes. Expected less because there was good awning on top of the bedroom slide..but....still a lot of junk in the holes.

Went inside, merged both batteries, started the engine, put the slides in one at the time....no more LEVEL warning light....go figure

Check them holes folks.....

I have a 1984 coach and need to add power steering fluid and need to locate the reservoir. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello all,

Wondering if the 2 SCS basement AC units we have in the 2000 Newell are heat pumps as well or just AC .....
If I move the switch from Cool to heat on the thermostats will the units function as heat pumps or the Heat position is for Aquahot heat exchangers ?
Thanks

Ok so my question , on my 88 with a 8v92 , i guess im trying  to figure out which transmission I have. I can feel it Shift 4 times while driving but at 65 mph I'm running 1800 RPMs does that sound right.
 My next question is on the dash I have an override switch and I have no idea what it overrides can anybody help me. THANKS AARON

When I bought my coach, noticed boost was down, [about 18 psi max] so when I changed the air cleaner, looked at the compressor wheel and found several good nicks in the blades. Ordered a new higher flow one from ss60 and installed. Old exhaust pipe from turbo to muffler heat shield was in bad shape, so scrapped it, {I am still itching from the fiberglass!] Used 100 ft of 4 inch titanium heat wrap to replace it. Decided to get rid of the 55 gallon muffler, so bought a aero 5050 lx resonator and installed. Only problem is, it is a little longer than the old muffler so will have to modify it to use the side exhaust or find a flattened out tip to go straight out the back. 
Big difference! Cannot really make a before and after comparison, but now boost pegs at 30 + at full throttle at 1500 rpm and stays there till next shift.  Very happy with new power. Have to practice judicious use of the jake, as it has quite a bark at high rpm.
Only one change that bothers me, at 70 mph on the flats, 95 f. ambient, cac temp out was about 125 to 130 f., now it seem to run about 140 to 150. This seem high to me. Anyone seeing similar temps? or know where to get 5 inch to flattened out 4 by 6, or something close, exhaust tip?
Thanks,  Jim

Hello all and Happy Independence Day !!

Our new to us, 2000 Newell #551 is in need of some repairs.
Would appreciate some feedback and answers. Thanks in advance.

The previous owner did not have the key that locks the bay doors that open with a push latch. Any way to get a key or key code from Newell or is there an alternate way to do it ? I believe the same key would arm the alarm on the passenger side second door and open the small door on the upper left rear corner above the radiator (currently locked)...need to find a solution.

Anybody have experience with Apex AGM 8D batteries ?

Mid bath sink is pitted and discolored really bad- anyway to clean that gold or have to change it ?

Losing the bedroom slide seal as the air in the coach is depleted and the 110V compressor is not turned on. Is there a check valve that may be defective or the electrovalve is supposed to keep things inflated.....maybe the seal is leaking ?

More later...small bites....
Thank you

Newell has a beautiful 2016 #1535 for sale. This is a new listing at $1,449,000. It is a mid-entry coach, bath and a half, with custom limestone flooring in the front and hardwood flooring in the bedroom. Very interesting couch with a pull out extension to make it an L sofa. 

Just purchased a replacement thermostat for the up front a/c from the mother ship. I think I would like to get the old one repaired, so I would have a spare. I read a post some where on where they sent the old one and had it repaired, but I can't find the thread. Does anyone have info on where to send it and cost. My old one was stuck on and wouldn't shut off when it reached the set temp. My wife thinks 55 degrees is to cold to sleep by.

Hoping that someone has had the same problem and got it figured out.
I am about to leave newell after they had tried to fix the problem for a day and a half. 
My front ac unit was only putting out 61 degree air but would run.
Newell determined that I needed a new compressor so went ahead with that which also included a new drier and capacitor.
So after the new install of compressor the unit started and got cold but within a few minutes the fan would quit then the compressor would overheat and shut down. So went inside to the electrical box by the condenser and found a capacitor that looked like it blew up, the top had pushed up and oil had leaked out, so that was replaced and same problem exist.
Then the fellow checked out the thermostat and that checked out ok. He was not very familiar with all the stuff inside the box so after a day and a half and now Newell has closed for the 4th we decided to call it quits. We don't want to hang around for 5 days 
and need to get back to our trip. figuring we were going to get a large bill for basically nothing we were told there was no charge.
We were happy with that but we now have no ac on the front of the unit. 
Remember the AC unit was working ok but blowing only blowing 60 degree and now the problem is the fan on the compressor unit comes on for a few minutes then shuts off which allows the compressor to over heat and shut down.

Any help would be appreciated. Happy fourth.

Brad
