Just finished servicing my aquahot and noticed that the hangar for the pipe the goes across to the driver's side and then up into the roof pip is broken. Har to tell what it looked like. Anyone know where to get one or even what it is?

It's about midway on the pipe span.

Thanks!

We still have the original AC units in the coach - whic AC (front or rear) would have the least amount of amperage draw please? We are in a storage bldg with 30-amp service and don’t want to blow the breaker…

Hi,

I am Tom McCloud and I started and own and operate the forum.   I wanted to thank all of you who have been part of it and the life of Darlene and I.  I talk to, text, email or chat with at least one of you almost every day and it is always a bright spot.  

When we started the group Darlene picked the motto of Friends Helping Friends and that could not be more true.  I cannot begin to tell you how many people have been helped by you.  From people who were injured and needed a friend, to people broken down to just those that needed to talk to someone.  Thank you.

I looked in my phone directory and i had over 120 saved contact numbers of newell friends.  and then there are the foretravel and other coach friends.  

I keep in touch with the newell factory management and they are appreciative of the help we give each other as well.

we have had so many of you stay at our home and we enjoy it a great deal.  i have been able to help alot of you and then in turn be helped in working on our amazing rigs as well.  

Darlene and I started NewellGurus in 2012 and the time has flown by.  I often get asked if folks can contribute to the operating costs and the answer is NO.  I have never and will never ask for a single cent from any of you.  Our son Scott handles the server work and I and my amazing fellow admins and moderators take care of the rest.  

I have often heard that NewellGurus is one of the most pleasant and nice forums people have used.  We watch closely and do not allow any contension or harsh words.  

You'all are amazing and we appreciate your friendship and support.

Thanks again

Tom

I'm looking at a coach that has a rear bath and the only way to access it when closed up is to crawl over the bed?  Is this normal?  Is there some kind of workaround?  Not a deal killer, but certainly inconvenient. 

Thx

Gregg

Hey, so I am pretty new to my coach but I think I have a rear air leak.  After leveling, I can hear it letting out air somewhere.  I will need to get this fixed, but in the meantime, how low to the ground can I be and still drive the coach safely?

I need to be able to drive the coach from St Louis to Pennsylvania to get it titled and registered and I can't wait here to get it repaired because shops can't fit me in until a month or more.  I want to make sure I can safety drive it.

I called Newell and the service tech told me some way to check to see if the height was ok, but I have no idea what he was talking about.  He said something about some tube or bar that you could measure 12 inches from the ground and that would be good, but I don't know what he is talking about as I don't see anything that looks like what he said.

Any help would be appreciated.

Headhunter no longer offers the Mark5 pump rebate

Good morning I am the owner of #751
I have 4 roof AC units. When all slides are extended while parked AC is adequate. However when traveling with 8-10 guests the cabin heats up. Most of the vents are compromised when the slides are all retracted? Has anyone experienced this? Probably. Does anyone have a solution for this situation? Thank you

Any other Hams here? I just received my FCC license. KK7VAW. I am going to apply for the General next. We have a contract on our house so all hobbies will be halted for quite a while. Of course that doesn't stop me from looking at what radio to get for the bench

I have read many threads about air bags for a 96. The number1r11 066 is from what im finding obsolete or hard to find. I am looking for a locally sourced alternative. I read somewhere about using a 1r12?  Ive also seen reference to  to different  inlet sizes but i haven't found availability for any!  If anyone has CURRENT numbers or sources for all the bags on a 96 please list them. Id really appreciate it.

Hello All,

Been retired for sometime now and my wife just retired last month. So, we are now on the hunt (been researching Newell for about 9 months now)

Don't get me wrong - older Country Coach, Monaco and Beavers are nice but - come on now - A Newell  

Last month we completed a tour at Newell in OK. Thanks was icing on the cake - what great people (felt like family) 

We are looking for at least a 2 slide coach that has been well maintained - age and milage not important but how it was cared for is.

The Kicker is we have about a 100K budget / may be able to move that up a bit for the right coach.

Thanks for all your help and the great information this site has/ is giving me for my research!

Best,

Gary
