Forum: Discussion around Coach Insurance
- Replies (15)

I tried to search for an answer but came up short. I am insured with National Interstate which includes Coach-Net Gold Roadside Package for $89 per year. I recently need the services of a large wrecker and was told that the policy only provides for two hours of service. The two hours was sufficient, but begs the question of what coverage do I have if I need a "low boy" tow for a great distance.

A friend of mine has had good service with a Good Sam Road Protection Policy. I would appreciate advise on which company is the best and provides the most coverage. I expect to pay more than for my present poor policy.

Sustained flood damage, water level was to the bay doors at least the level of the bay door actuators. Several issues listed but obviously water would have been up in the suspension wiring and potentially in the engine wiring systems. Bode air door doesn't work, minor scratches on exterior.

Auctioning off but asking price of $907,000 is way crazy for a 2008 with flood damage.

The circuit board in my ATS bit the dust. The only purpose for the board is provide a delay when cranking the gennie. I have bypassed the board so we do have gennie power. But the producer of the box, Todd Engineering is long out of business.

What is Newell using these days for ATS? The reason I ask is that I have only found so far 50 amp transfer switches rated for 70 amps on the neutral leg. Or they state for up to 12kw generator. Do any of you know of a ATS rated for higher?

I just want to see what my options are before either sending the board for repair or replacing the ATS.

Thanks!

I'd heard rumors of it, always dismissed as pure fiction. But lo & behold it's true! Newell has built coaches measuring 47' in length.

They're never advertised as such...and because it's a coach we're considering, it's causing a high degree of anxiety on my part. (Can I legally register it ~ or even drive it in California...or other states? Will there be issues fitting in camping or storage spaces?)

I've attached the official sheet I just received. Am I courting disaster?

I need your advice (and collective knowledge).

After lots of education, looking, measuring I think we've found a Newell that has the "bones" we're looking for (well, almost). It #685, a 2004, 4 slide 1.5 bath that the original owner is selling. It's got almost 93K on it, but looks to have been lovingly maintained and mechanically upgraded (365 upgrade ~ maybe anti-sway bar). It has a steering tag (critical for me), and DD special 60 with no EGR...which I'm not sure about (lots of hill climbing, is 500hp/1650 torgue enough?). I was hoping for a 600 Cummins, but my guy swears these are better.

This coach has more windows than I've ever seen in a coach ~ and almost all of them open! (Not a huge AC fan when the weather is nice). He even has the opening parts on the top, so seated you have an unobstructed view ~ which I really like.

The owner just finished a major TV upgrade and did a tremendous job.

While we like the granite entry, the "crop circles" carpeting and many of the wall furnishings make it dated. This will be a "four season" coach, and we were hoping to have full heated wood planks that would work with the existing granite...but not sure if this can be done after the fact. With the 365 series upgrade, it sounds like we have lots of CCC (waiting for the actual weigh figures to come in).

We're both pretty handy on interior finishing....would doing our own floor and redoing a lot of the phantom wall treatments be something a "lay person" with moderate experience (and a wife who can sew up a storm) tackle? The booth cushions would be a breeze, but I'm not familiar how Newells are "screwed together" so blind disassembly is always nerve wracking.

We'd love to replace the kitchen counter with granite and an induction cook top and better sink set up to provide more counter space...but we've never heard of anyone doing that.

Are we insane? Here's a link, so you can see for yourself. http://www.rvt.com/Newell-Mid-Entry-Quad...64-UX69938

Good cranking voltage, full fuel tank, new filters (changed after problem started) It tries to start and in fact actually ran a few times but lost rpm after a few seconds and stopped. I think it's a fuel problem but not sure on how to trouble shoot it. It's a 1999 coach with a Kohler 20K unit.
