A couple of days ago, it rained. Rained all day. Hard.

So I was stuck in the coach, and had some idle time to complete the install of led lights in place of the halogen. I remember Forest saying he couldn't get his hand in to change them in the sconces. I am talking about the black lacquer sconces common to many years of Newells.

I found a way.

First remove the sconce from the wall. There are two visible screws at the top, and on screw hidden underneath the reading light at the bottom. The reading light has to be removed to get to this screw. Once loose from the wall you will see that the halogen light inside the globe of the sconce is the same halogen fixture used throughout the coach. Although I carefully removed the halogen bulb using needle nose and a small rag, there was no way I was getting the led puck back in through the hole.

So, I took a pick with a right angle bend on the end and carefully pried the puck fixture out of the hole. It was not screwed in, but pressed in. I could generate enough slack in the cord to pull the entire fixture out through the access hole. Install led. Reinstall puck. Voila.

Just in case you get crazy on a rainy day.

Per Karl Blade:

Quote:In the next few weeks, Newell will break ground on construction of a new, 65,000 square foot manufacturing building that will integrate all the steps of our production process except for paint within the single new structure. This is the most significant facilities improvement by far in our 47 year history.

Quote:The new manufacturing facility will be an extension of the chassis shop we built about ten years ago on the north side of our property.

It's a 90 or 91 # 270 or 271. The ad says both. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111505856628

Just purchased our first Newell #748, from Panterra in Holland, Michigan. Rex, Joyce, Randy, and Mike are really great to deal with. We have owned Foretravels for the past 17 years, so know we have a learning curve ahead of us. Would appreciate any and all suggestions/help to shorten the curve. Especially interested in startup/shutdown checklistsq[/align], or any information about this specific coach. Looking forward to hearing from you gurus.

On my 95 mid entry retracable steps there is a light attached to the underside. I have no power to it now as the steps are in the open position and is daylight at this time. What activates the light.

When we were going to WV back about 3 weeks ago we had a wheel stud break on passenger side front wheel. I am now trying to find the part number to get this fixed and replaced. Does anyone have a part number or any information on a 96?

Second part of my question is does anyone have the part number for the door locks and a supplier to get them? We have 2 of the locks that have came out and can't find them. So I have 2 bays that won't lock. It is the key lock that goes in each bay.

Thanks for your help!!
Pam
