Just drove 10 hrs from south LA to Orlando to look at 383 that a dealer from Nashville has been trying to sell it for almost 2 yrs. Exterior was very nice as promised. Luckily for us, it rained a lot before we arrived and we were able to see all the leaks on the interior that we were not aware of. We had agreed on $61k before I drove there knowing that one basement air that would need a compressor. We passed on this one. It's on his website hannasales. Also was going to need tires and power awning work. Motor was rebuilt at some point also.

I would like to install a motorized awning to replace the 158" ZipDee awning.  Dometic, Carefree of CO, and ZipDee all use 12v power.  Before I give serious consideration, I have to find 12v at the awning location.  Does anyone have an idea of how to do this?

Did someone else post pictures of this coach recently?  I could have sworn it was on this forum that I saw pictures of this coach before it was painted.

Never mind.....I found it under "Introduce Yourself"!

Michael, I couldn't get the full VIN. Looks like a mid 90s, about a 22 footer.

   

Looking to help another Neweller with an Awning Purchase/Installation.
The 1st Question is what would have come as OEM on a 1995, I am guessing that it would be Zip Dee but what model? Manual??
Next I am wondering if I could beg a couple of pictures that would show mounting of the awning and brackets.

Now I am wondering about some of the other makes & models that others have used so that they can make an educated decision.

Thanks in advance!

I wonder if I could get some help from one of you who has the straight jack knife couch with three cushions. I am trying to estimate the coverage needed for a redo, and I need some detailed pictures of a couple of areas. I am trying to figure out where a couple of seams are on the leather couches. Mine have been redone in fabric, and I don't know if the seams in the fabric are the same as the original leather. 

Here is what I need. If you look straight at the back cushion, there are two vertical pleats. Is there a horizontal seam at the top of the pleat? 

Second on the seat cushion edges, how do the seams run? For example. A large piece could be used to wrap both directions in which the only seam would be the corner. Or separate pieces could be used for the sides. Could you take some pictures of the bottom cushion edges so I can see how Newell did it?

Thanks for your help. 

When I blow up the pictures that I see on line, they become too pixelated for me to see the seams.

Lots of inconsistencies with this one.  It is listed as a 40'.  There was only one 1997 shorter than 45' and that was #447 which is 43'6".  

The VIN that is listed is for an IC Corporation School Bus/City Transit Bus.  

They list a 317" wheelbase.  A 45'8" has a wheelbase of 319" center of front wheel to center of drive axle.

It has a rear lounge rather than a bedroom and the ad indicates that it does NOT have a shower.

Hydraulic levelers.

Newell has reduced the price of #1471, the 2013, 40'6" dual slide with front entry, rear bath to $950,000.  One of the few 'short' Newells with slides and the ZF suspension with steerable tag.

Contact Newell Sales.

Michael, have you ever put down the range of coach numbers for each year?  Such as 405-520 is 99.. I know that s not correct but you get the idea.

I just noticed there seems to be a lot more Newell's for sale now than any other time since I've been a member of Newell Guru.  Is that due to the winter months or it just happens to seem that way?

Thanks guys,

Harry
