Gents, I am holed up back at our rally site from last year...Elkhorn ridge, SD. I fueled up at Pilot in Rapid City and after pulling out noticed the coach behaving awkwardly on the road so I stopped and checked and the right front side was riding high and the L/R was very low... Called Roadside assistance and they said 6 hrs...called Newell and Tommy said have him bring a 8 1/4 inch block of wood to put in place once he removed the airbag...after two hours Roadside service call me and say he won't make it today so I start the coach up and somehow am able to get a little bit of air in the bag so that it is just over the wheel well and I make I limp it to Spearfish. Am off to arrange a truck mechanic to change all airbags. I'm hoping we can get this taken care of in the next day or so but I'm sure it will depend on availability of part etc.

Dave and Marjories Full Time Newell travels

Last year we traveled 16,000 miles in our Newell! From Hilton Head Island SC to Yellowstone, to Glacier, to Vancouver, all the way down to San Diego to Fort Myers Beach Florida.

This year we have gone from Ft Myers Beach, to Quebec City, to Yellowstone, to Lake Louis/Banff and are now in Newport Or. 7,000 miles so far. Planning on 6,000 more miles this year, San Fran, South Tahoe, Utah, Vegas, and Palm Springs.

I take lots of pics and our favorite thing to do is look for wildlife which we have seen EVERYWHERE. I think there are a few Newell Guru members that I am friends with already.
Thanks,
Dave

Forum: Discussion around Coach Insurance
- No Replies

Hi Folks,

Do you know anyplace on the web where you can go to find out the higher/lower states for coach insurance or vehicle insurance in general? And maybe even where you can drill down to counties and/or cities within the state?

I realize that will not give you an idea of the cost of a policy for a specific coach, but it would at least be a guide. We know that San Francisco, CA will be more than Billings, MT. I just thought it would be nice to have some ideas without having to go to an insurance company for a quote.

• Do insurance companies charge less for the periods when you're not on the road when your parked in a park?
• How much more do you pay (by %) for a full timer driving 8/10,000 per year. Versus being on the road for the same amount of miles over 6 months and the rest in a stick house?

Thanks guys,

Harry

Some of you already know I flew down to missouri a couple of weeks back and drove my new repowered 76 back up to Grande Prairie Alberta. We installed a 330 hp 8.3 cummins turbo diesel inline 6 and a allison MD3060 world trans. 98 vintage (the last year of the mechanical 8.3 engines and the best injector pumps that came out) It was a 2400 mile trip, the coach ran awsome and great on fuel.
It started out not to great, I had a connecting flight from Denver to Springfield that got cancelled so I ended up staying in the airport overnight, (not fun!!) The airline wanted to fly me to Chicago then back to springfield for later that day. I checked flights and they had one flying to Tulsa early that morning and my friend Mike, ( also the mechanic that did all the work to the coach) agreed to pick me up there as his place is not too far from there anyway. Well it turned out my bags ended up flying to Springfield so we had to drive there and pick them up.
What a royal pita!!
With all that behind me we spent a half a day getting the 76 ready for the road, I was up for two days with no sleep by this time. The next morning I set out for Sioux falls SD, about an 8 hr trip, I stopped a few times to check on things (leaks etc.) It was all good and dry. One mirror had a loose set screw and that was it. I cruised at about 70-75 mph all the way there and met up with Todd Flickema and we checked out each others coaches for a couple of hours, he brought us pulled pork that was delicious, thanks again Todd. He did a real nice job on his 84 and it was a fun time meeting.
The next day I set out for Billings Montana that was another 8 hrs or so, same thing 70-75 mph until middle afternoon the temp started to climb up a bit more than usual (200-205) so I slowed down to 60-65. I had no idea how hot it was outside because I had the roof airs on the whole trip. I past a sign about 1h before Billings and it was 96 deg and it was getting close to sundown.
The next morning I started out for the border, it was quite windy that day so I was back up to 70-75 again temps stayed around 180. I got to the border mid afternoon expecting the import process to take a couple of hours.
I took my paperwork into the us side where they stamp the title for export, that took all of about 5 mins, went to my broker with that and within 10 mins they had my paperwork ready for the canada side for import. Took the paper work into them and took a seat for a few minutes.
Not even 10 mins the called me up and handed me my imports papers and said with a smile, have a nice day!!
From there I drove just past Calgary and stayed in the small town of Dimsdale just south of Reddeer Ab. Travelling through Calgary was very busy because stampede week was in full swing.
From Dimsdale I was passing through Edmonton that morning so I called up my buddy Ed Dezz ( he bought my 87 Newell from me last year) pic below. Had lunch with him and of course discussed our coaches quite a bit.
From there I arrived home at about 5 that afternoon.
Other than my flight it was a great trip and this 76 Newell is a very comfortable coach to drive and runs awsome.
It does need cosmetic work but mechanically its great.

How hard is it to find the filter?
I have a Fleetguard FS1247 on it now and it's pretty stopped up. So much so that I had a lukewarm shower. The Aquahot wasn't keeping up the temp. and the exhaust had a slight black smoke. The electric element is working fine.
Any auto part stores like Napa, Autozone, etc. carry this?

Left a week ago Friday for Grand Canyon. Going great till 3 hours from flagstaff stacker trailer blows the airline and the air suspension on it deflates and we have to pull over . As we are fixing that with a new hose, the generator overheats , the blower fan has gone out, limp the last 3 hours to Williams az with no ac , outside temp 101.. Get to williams sat night plug in, goto Grand Canyon Sunday. Run to electrical supply place Monday morn in flagstaff find a motor come back and replace it. Runs great generator cool leave williams for Zion national park via Las Vegas. As we are driving thru Vegas the generator overheats again. Find a grainger in Vegas pull into their parking lot at 4 pm. The auxiliary cooling fan that blows air over the generator is out too. Replace it. Get to Zion river rv resort at 9 pm. Pull into site, none of the slides will deploy . Call valid 24 hours out line , trouble shoot it hit a release valve and they all work.

Leave Zion Thursday drive to silverton colorado. Get halfway up severe grade and coach won't pull the 20k plus load (Mazda mx-5 and hammer and rzr) unload cars drive them in seperate. Coach now makes it easily. Get to silverton and put out slides and number 3 floor won't come up. Call valid again they do a "force" and it comes up.

Well Ill be home tomorrow. Trip was great but thought I'd share my issues.. Lol
