I have been using this tool for about a year now, with very satisfying results. It has always sold for $139.99 everywhere on the web. Amazon now has it for sale for $99.99. First time I have seen it discounted.

Found out today that I will be headed back to the states for a "career broadening" assignment at Altus, AFB Oklahoma. I am already plotting my course for driving down from Green Bay (where I store the coach now" to Oklahoma in late January. I will take my time and hopefully plot a course with 50amp hookups along the way as my Gennie has to have work done when I get to OK. I'll be making the trip solo as the boys and Heather will stay behind in Japan and finish H.S. I'm going to live in the coach while at Altus so I am definitely going to get a better working knowledge of all the systems. The family will join me for the summer and Will is off to the University of Wisconsin Green Bay in the fall so at least I will not be lonely. Hope you all have a Happy Holiday Season and are Healthy and Safe!

We just took a trip to the lake mead area it was a great trip on the way home I discovered I had no turn signals or 4 way flashers can't find any fuse blown do any of you guys have any ideas? Our coach is 1981 coach #3 every thing else works normal
Thanks, Graham

Hi everyone! This looks like a great place to be if you have, or want to have, a Newell. My husband and I are in the early stages of planning for our retirement and full time RV'ing is on the short list. Well, it's really the only thing on my list, but I still haven't completely convinced him. I started out thinking small, but over the course of several months of research including lurking on this board and LCL, I have decided that a used Newell is my first choice. I hope to start out by snowbirding by myself for a couple of seasons, then go to full time when my husband is ready to retire. We live in southern New Jersey - not the greatest place to be if you are shopping for a luxury RV. I've never actually been in a Newell or a Prevost and I don't think they will be represented at the NJ show in Edison next month. I was hoping that a sympathetic owner on this board who lives nearby might be willing to give us a tour of their coach. We are not planning to buy in the immediate future. Probably not until my son graduates college in 18. But I'm a compulsive planner and so I'm beginning my research now.
I'm hoping by 2018 my dream coach will be within reach financially. Happy Trails,
Patty
Also Ricky (my skeptical husband), and Molly (our golden retriever).

I'm having trouble with the gas spring brackets coming loose or bending
on the bay doors. I was looking at pictures of a 1990 and it has a larger plate between the door and the spring bracket, anybody know the
dimensions of these? Or any other ideas would be great.

We travel somewhere in the country each year with our 4 daughters.

We bought our Newell at an auction sale in 2006 not having a clue what it was, but what a treasure to have.

Almost every place we have traveled, there has been somebody that has stopped to talk about Newell's.

In the summer of 2013, we took a trip to the Ozarks and stopped in Miami, Oklahoma to tour the Newell factory and were very impressed.

This forum provides a lot of information and am looking to do some remodeling, as the inside of our Newell is all original.

I lost the second stage compressor in my rear unit. It wasn't locked, but it was pulling 14 amps and blowing the breaker. The windings were showing some continuity to ground also. The other side pulled about 7 amps on the bench.

Tom helped me find a replacement compressor, a LG QK164CBL from AC Parts Distibutors in Florida. It was 320 USD. I post this because this is a direct drop in for the Matushita that was the OEM. I had to do a little copper tubing fettling to get the diameters to match up. My high side was an unusual 5/16 tube.

Anyway, there is a neat tool that has stepped diameters on it that you can use to expand tubing to make a male female joint. It's common in the plumbing section of HD.

I wanted to post this picture, because I remember John Clark of Newell customer service fame laughing at my digital fish scale that I use for weighing in charges. By the way, according to the literature the system holds 32 oz of R22 per loop.

    You have to look carefully to see the scale. Bad photography on my part.

I was happy the new compressor was pulling around 7 amps when I put power to it.

The real test will have to wait till warmer weather. I'll know then if I have to adjust the charge.
