ALOHA!

IF anyone has an idea of barging their MH to Hawaii, forget it. There are no places where you have the luxuries of even the poorest RV park on the mainland. There are no 50 amps.......in fact there are NO amp services, no bath houses, no concrete parking, no water.......and I could go on, but you get the idea by now.

My domicile is here....lucky me......but I always have to put my coach in storage when I travel back here. I ship my car (toad) if I'm going to be a while, but I am anxious to always get back to my MH. After retiring, I decided to go on the road, and having driven for approximately 20 years, off and on with my brother and his family, it was time for me to get my own MH. If I was only smart enough to buy a newell in the beginning, I would not feel so burnt out trying to fix everything that could....and did.....go wrong with the 7 coaches prior to my wish to buy a Newell.

Turning my retirement to Travel Writing and Photography, and a lone female with my co-pilot dog, Thad, I went from one end of the country to the other, several times. Even went from Victoria, Canada to Montreal one time, and noticed the cleanliness and friendship found on that trip.

Now, for all the folks who are thinking of selling their beloved Newell, I am looking for an older model in the mid to high ninties, has been well taken care of, and not exhorbintly expensive. Additionally, if my luck would hold out, I need a real co-pilot who has a voice rather than a snore, and is familiar with the Newell personality. If you are available, I would like to speak with you. Fortunately, I have never had an accident, just been accosted with these niddly mechanical problems!
For any communication with me, please email me at: [email protected]. I will anxiously look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

A hui hou,

Windows 10 is available now, if you have a machine running Windows 7 or 8 it's a free upgrade. My wife's laptop was running Windows 8.1 which I never liked, updated it to Windows 10 yesterday and like it a lot better.

Gang,

This is only a drill.  If it had been an actual emergency, I would have called Tom, Steve, Forest, etc.  I am posting this under the category: Well, thats a new one (at least to me).

I left Auburn this morning on the way to Newell to get my toasted AC fixed.  When I was pulling onto interstate, I hit a bump and my generator just quit.  Hmmm. I thought.  

Hit the switch to turn the generator back on.  It started and I got the Generator light and a couple of minutes later the 120 and 240 lights came on and my house ACs came on.  Its HOT in Alabama right now.

A few minutes down the road, the ACs quit again.  I looked at lights and all were dark.  Except the generator gauges.  They were lit up.

Did another restart and again it ran for a minute and quit.

At this point, I had a lot of different indications.  The generator light would come one, but the transfer switch would not kick on.  Sometimes the generator switch would not light up on start.  (Its hard to tell if the generator is running while going down the interstate).  So I cannot tell you if it was running or not.

I was debating the actions I should take.  1)  I could stop and jam the transfer switch in case it is failing.  2)  I could call Newell support  3)  I could pull into rest stop and wait till night to continue the trip.  4) I could call Tom since he had a generator problem where it would quit while driving.  (If I remember correctly).  

As I pulled into the truck stop to get fuel with sweat running down my face, it suddenly dawned on me what the problem was.  

Any guesses?

Cheers,
bill

Anyone ever use one of these?

Yup we are considering a stay in the north east this year and if so will have to winterize the coach. I will be using the solar system including the batteries to provide power to the house we might be staying in so don't need to disconnect the batteries.
I figure so far the only thing I need to consider is the water system which I plan on flushing and replacing with rv anti freeze and pump through both water pumps and through the entire water system including toilet faucets and sink drains. Also plan on flushing out the holding tank and put a few gallons of anti freeze in it just to keep the gate valve wet. 
Plan on putting the tires on wood planks and draining the air system and treating the fuel and keep a full tank. 
Also prepping for mice.

Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Hi Ya'll, 
 Just got home from Alaska and was having some issues with my entry door, it only holds on the first click, I have to pull it closed and use the deadbolt to hold it closed all the way. I haven't taken it apart yet, just wondered if anyone ever had any issues with theirs? Is it a ford part? I haven't called Newell yet they may have one?

Fellow Gurus, after receiving a minor change to my orders it appears I am not going back to Japan. That being said I am preparing to list the Big Pink Bus, "Tom's girl" in the near future as boys are off to University and Heather is back to Japan and I am living in the bus down here in Altus OK. The bus has 10 new air bugs 3 new RH valves, new 6 packs front and rear, 3 roof iar co152,300 miles on the DD 8V92 two stroke that purrs like a kitten and roars up grades pulling my 20 foot car-hauler. Interior was remodeled by the Guru himself and it is really puuurty for a classic coach. If you know of anyone that is looking for a great classic this is the one. They can email me or join the group and IM me...I have more pics than Baskin Robbins...I hate to give her up but think it is the right thing to do since she needs to be enjoyed...I have lived in her for the past 6 months and have loved every minute...

Hi,

I have a question about my AGM life-line glass matt batteries. Yesterday i went down to pick up my coach from

having the HWH system fixed & all my coach batteries were dead. When i open the compartment all the battery

cases had been cracked open at the seams. The batteries are going on 4 years old. Does anyone know what would

cause this? Coach is plugged into 120vac 20amp outlet about 5 or 6 months a year.

Replacement cost $676.95 each plus labor (186lb ea). Sure would like to know what caused this.

down & out again.....

Mark
