Photos have not been posted yet but it is white with wine and hunter green accents. Interior is bleached oak laminate.

I bought a coach.net membership last year when I bought my 1994 newell and luckily have not need it until this weekend. We got stuck in the sand in I.p. Magee. Park in port aransas, Texas. I tried to dig it out the first time and made it about 4 ft. Before it sank again.
It was only a few in. From the body after that so I called coach.net.
They were very nice on the phone and called a wrecker for me.
It took the wrecker about 3 hours to arrive but I had informed them that I was is no hurry as I was safe in my camping spot.
A huge wrecker showed up and pulled it out with no problem. It was definitely a positive experience.
I have stayed in this park since I had my 1st mh, a 1971 22 ft. Winnebago with a 318 dodge engine about 30 years ago and never even thought about getting stuck.
I will be more careful next time I pull into a new spot I have never parked in before.

Ok everyone, I'm taking one trip up to TableRock Friday pulling my stacker a rzr and 2 cars. Drive one car back home and pull the boat up with my SUV.. My issue is who all is going riding. And how do I get my rzr from the camp ground to where we ride. I don't wan to have to take the coach to the trailhead but I guess I can. If so I can put 3-4 rzrs in the stacker. Ideas?

Fess Up ! Neighbor

   

Have the two burner induction under the cover OEM on the 1996.

Looking for Guru ideas on what replacement options/ ideas you'll might have.

Thanks

I figured I would share some pics of the local parade I had my classic Newell in. It was a popular entry. The kids especially like the horns!!

Hello all !!!
My name is Jeff, I'm very excited about this group and fortunate to have found it.
I currently own an 1988 BB Wonderlodge xxv silver edition, anivercery addition. We have a lot of fun with her ! There seems to be a lot of similarities among these two brands of coaches. We just like too have fun where ever we go, and whoever were with! This life is a one shot deal, we should make it the best way we can! !!!!!!!! Thanks for letting me join you're group, and I hope to be able to help when I can.

Just looked at googlemaps and you can see our coach where we park at Cindy's family place. Kinda cool.

I wanted to upgrade the headlights on 512 like I had done on 390. However, the ECE code headlights to replace the Ford pickup truck lights were no longer available. So, I had a wild dream and decided to remodel the front cap to look more like the later models.

Newell uses a 90 mm Hella sealed unit. You can source those from Rallylights.com. I decided to go whole hog and install the bixenon. Translated into English this means I used HID lighting for the low and high beam.

Step one was to cut out the out headlights and the recessed fiberglass that surrounded the lights. That is picture one.     Pictures two is a shot of prefabbing some flexible fiberglass sheeting to give me something to start filling the hole.     I simply put wax paper down on a smooth surface, wet some fiberglass cloth with resin, and waited for it to cure.

I needed some round tubes to act as the recesses for the round units. So I found appropriate sized pipe or tubing, waxed the outside of the pipe, and wrapped it with resin saturated cloth. When that cured I had fiberglass tubing to make the recesses for the lights and new round blinkers.    

I have added a few pics that show building the layers of fiberglas in place to fill in the hole. By the way the fiberglass on the front cap is 3/4 inch thick in this section. That's a lot of fiberglass. Two days worth :-).    

After the glass was almost flush with the rest of the surface, I used bondo to bring it up to the right surface height. Then primer and paint. I used a single stage PPG paint instead of clear. I didn't know how blending a clear would look with the Imron paint which is not clear coated. I took a piece of the fiberglass I cut out to the paint store and they used their computer system to match the color.            

The final picture is of the finished product.     If you remember, I said I installed the single unit low high HID. I didn't think a single unit would look right, so I found a pair of used 90 mm low beam Hellas on Fleabay for 50 bucks. They are installed for aesthetics right now. I may get energetic and wire them just to flash as courtesy for the truckers.

And the finish is a laugh at my expense. It's a lot of work to mask the entire front of the coach to prepare for painting. And it's a lot of trouble to paint. After I painted it, I could see a ripple in the fiberglass on both sides where the old met the new. I could see it or feel it until the surface was glossy. So, I sanded it all down, fixed the ripple, primered and painted again. It's the Entrekin way. Do it twice, or three times till you get it right.
