I need to get something to cover up the A/C exhaust under the coach.  There is a vent about 12" wide (guessing) and about 2 inches tall that leads to the main tunnel under the coach where the cooling ducts are located (you can see it if you are brave enough to stick your head in under the stair wells.  This is the perfect spot for the mice to enter the coach and I am thinking I could add some 1/4" or so chicken wire to the front of it.  My main concern is with getting under the coach but that is a different thread...

If you can take a look at it for me please PM.

When Clark convinced me two years ago to join this forum, I told him that I would post photo's of our solar system.
I finally uploaded the solar pics as well as more coach photos:

Over the weekend I was in need of roadside assistance for a trailer issue.  While blue sky got me someone, it got me thinking. How about a section titled service providers. It can be broken down by state. Where when we find someone who does a good job they we can post there info. Then a link to any reviews. 

Jz motors was excepti0nal and beyond reasonable in the Oklahoma city area..

This appears to be #174, the 17th Newell coach built in the 1988 model year. Asking $39,900

I have had a bad air leak for over five weeks. Took the coach to Holland Motor Homes in Michigan. They worked on it all day and consulted with Newell a couple of times, but nothing has shown up.
The coach when plugged in to shore power with 120 V AC Compressor on, seems to lose about 20 psi in about 1 minute and 50 seconds. The last advice from Newell was to put an additional 20 PSI pressure using shop air. When the techs did this it slowed down the leak substantially, but still didn't find any leaks!

Any clues or insight any one can offer??

As of the date of this post, you won't see any Newell information in my newly launched Motorhome section of www.GadgetGuru.com. But trust me when I say that will be changing within the next week. Hopefully you'll enjoy my first batch of Newell-related videos. 

Until then, I have a series posted where I documented my adventures of learning to drive a motorhome, a video of the 2017 Foretravel IH-45 show coach and some editorials on subjects such as Motorhome Surround Sound.

Hi All, 

I hope I'm placing this thread in the correct location and if I messed up, I hope the Friendly Admin will correct my mistake!

Okay, here's the scoop...

I'm on a quest to buy my first coach. Since I've only dreamed of owning one, I've never driven one. So, I thought it was a good idea to seek locations that would provide driving lessons before I made a commitment. I figured by learning to drive, I could escalate the process and if nothing else, learn if I could feel comfortable behind the wheel. Yes, I've had lessons both at Motorhomes of Texas (wonderful pre-owned dealership) and with Glenn at Newell. I've documented my adventure and I'll save that for a future post. 

Okay, call me crazy, but one concept I was considering was buying my last coach first and going all in and designing what I would consider to be my dream coach. So, of course, I had to travel to Miami, OK to meet my new Best Friends!

So, I'm getting close to pulling the trigger and am considering a bunk floor plan. The bunk will be a hip-height, easy entry level and more of a compartment than a bunk. Below, the areas will be split vertically and I'm working with Newell to create a Doggie Relief Area where "Lucy The Dog" can have a place to...uh...relieve herself should the urge hit at 3am. Newell is working on designing this area that will feature perforated artificial turf with a drainage system below as well as a built-in spray head to keep it clean. Yeah, we'll pick up the poop and dispose of that properly, but the "pee" will be washed down the drain. 

So, I'll ask my question bluntly: 

If we thoroughly flush this area multiple times per day, is this just a stupid idea? And, what's your thoughts about going all in with a 2017 Newell as your first coach? Yeah, I've been called eccentric and worse many times before...so you won't be the first!

Hey, they thought Frank Lloyd Wright was a bit crazy too, but he designed homes that are still standing today!

Honest input greatly appreciated!

   






Anyone know how to use the transmission rocker switch?
