I have found another Newell I'm interested in buying and am putting 701 up for sale. Its a 2004 quad slide, full raised roof ,murphy bed, steer tag, bath and a half . The coach also is a spiderwire coach and has a basement entertainment center that includes a grill fridge and tv on a Joey bed. It also has a custom buitl hitch that is capable of over 50k in towing.

The coach has the darker wood interior which is EXTREMELY rare in these years model.

All systems on the coach are in working order , the only exception is I have new ice maker on order. The coach has been serviced almost by Newell exclusively for its life.

Many other neat features are on this coach. I'm asking 325k Pm me for any additional info.

Imagine our surprise yesterday when we where driving through town and saw a Newell Classic at the tire shop we use. It was well after the noon closing time for Saturday. The shop owner Kieth Brown had remained open to fix a leaking valve stem on inside dual for them. They said the coach had been donated by a gentleman from South Carolina. Their son is riding a bicycle across America for a Children With Cancer Charity. I did get a pic of vin sticker but due to my poor photography skills it was blurred from glare. Very nice folks and I told them they would be welcome here at the forum. on a side note Michael, I have contact info if you would like to get in touch with them directly to get vin info etc.

I just had Newell put in a new mattress in my coach hoping it would be better than the old one. Unfortunately, it is way too firm for me. And I like firm mattresses! But this is beyond firm. Puts my arm asleep when I sleep on my side. The old mattress was the same way.

We've tried putting extra padding on top but that does not work well, sheets don't fit, slides around, drapes over sides, etc. plus bed is still not comfy.

Does any one feel the same way? What did you do to remedy the problem?

Does any one know where I could get a custom shaped (rounded corners) spring mattress?

Thanks gurus!

I just read in the Oct. Family Motor Coaching Magazine that Michelin has expanded their Advantage program to include BF Goodrich and Uniroyal. I am running BF Goodrich on my tag and will more than likely on my drive axial when I need them. I prefer Michelin on the steer. This program also includes light truck and Passenger car tires also. I understand that BF Goodrich and Uniroyal are owned by Michelin.

Has any one had one of their hinged door skin delaminate from the aluminum frame?

Thanks in advance for the info which is being used to evaluate a common Newell problem and its cause.

I am taking a stand . We should not allow Oliver's to sell. They are an integral part of our community and I just think we as fellow gurus should not stand for this. I am here by proposing we take up a collection to encourage him to continue as a Newell owner. I think a token gesture of 1$ from each of us would show him how much we will miss them. So I'm offering my dollar first Smile then I think we buy a cashiers check and mail it to them so they can put it on the wall of their new home and realize we care. It could become the NewellGuru plaque.

It is with mixed emotions that we will be selling our 1998 45’ 2 slide coach #486. Mileage ~108,000
We have enjoyed this coach immensely and have had many great adventures traveling since we bought it from Motorhomes of Texas in March of last year.
However we are building a house in a retirement community in southeast Louisiana in order to spend our winters close to family. We should move in next month. We still plan to travel in the summer but we’ll just do it differently. Actually we’re thinking of buying a cabin in Colorado and spent this summer looking at different areas.
So after I have some maintenance work done we’ll drive it back home and empty it out. After that we’ll bring it back to MOT. They suggested to price it at $129,000 but if anyone is interested before I bring it there on consignment please contact me for a pre-consignment discount, 985-four13-47one7. MOT also suggested to remove the Lithium (LiFePO4) battery system and they will install new batteries for the buyer. I will plan to do that and sell the LiFePO4 system separately after the coach sells.
Of course if someone buys before it goes to MOT I will include various extras, spare parts, etc. I’ll completely empty it once it goes to MOT.
We have lived full-time in it since March, 2013. As such this is not a fixer-upper or a project coach. This is a very livable and comfortable coach.
And I will continue to be active on the forum.

What does the alternator do on the generator. Being it is a generator, and the bus has numerous batteries including a generator on the engine itself, I am confused as to what that little alternator really does if anything. Can anyone shed light on this?Huh
