Hey Guru's

I was in a Starbucks today when the coffee girl, my brother admonished me they’re called “Barista’s” wow, sorry all to pieces... Anyway, the BARISTA said “hi Mr. something-or other, I thought you were out in your motorhome”?

So as soon as I got my coffer I zeroed in on him, mentioned I heard the girl, oops Barista, say he his a motorhome and would he mind if I joined him? From that ensued a conversation of about an hour and a half's on about everything imaginable about RVing.

SO far I have found RVer's very friendly and that is some very good news!

He told me he current owns a 43’ Forrest River Charleston and has a center bath he’s not too happy about and not too happy with the all-over quality. I remember Richard telling me that he had a motorhome and didn’t realize how noisy it was until he drove a Newell.

He said he only buys new and is looking for a 45 footer that he can buy for around $500,000.00. He’s looking at American Eagle, Entegra Cornerstone, Newmar Essex and Tiffin Zephyr.

I thought about you guys and the amount of things you know and couldn’t help but think? If you guys were buying new and your budget was a half million bucks........ What would you buy in a new coach?

Folks, I drove two hours to look this coach over a month ago. We are not ready for our first Newell this year, but I believe someone could purchase this coach for somewhat less. The records and such are in good shape, as is the coach, I felt. Impressive example of the year, in pretty nice shape.

I have just inherited my late father's 1981 37 ft Newell Coach. The old thing is in pretty rough shape cosmetically, but seems mechanically sound. It had been sitting on my dad's lot for the last 6 years only being cranked up intermittently, but had not been started in the last 2 years. I got it running and have driven it. I would only get up to about 10mph. I've determined that the fuel filters were stopped up and will be replacing them today. I've checked for water in the fuel/ water separators and they checked out free of water. I also opened the main tank sump drain, and no water there. It has about a little less than half a tank of diesel in the main and about a half tank in the aux. tank. The fuel is about the color of tea and probably 6 or 7 years old. Since i found no water, I'm thinking I can just add some good anti-gelling fuel treatment/cleaner and after changing the filters, use this fuel. Does anyone have any experience with using old fuel like this. Also, it has a 4 cylinder generator motor. Does anyone know what kind of engine this is? The main engine is a Detroit 6V92? or something like that. Any help or guidance here is much appreciated.

Heading to the factory tomorrow for some minor stuff and to get the transfer box replaced. Anyone have any requests?

Anyone one replace their clear OEM ones?
What about just lens and body gasket?
Thanks,

When I return to Arizona in September, my Detroit 60 should have almost 15,000 since last full service and 200 hours on the generator. When last serviced, synthetic oil and all filters were changed as well as new synthetic transmission fluid and filters. Air and fuel filters are on an as needed basis, but I am wondering if the hydraulic and air dryer filters need to be changed on the same schedule as the oil and coolant filters. I will service the AquaHot and generator myself when I get home. Also, have I missed a filter?

Robin and I are very excited to pick up our coach on November 11th in Miami # 1528.
The process has been easy and the people are very responsive and easy to work with. Amber has been great and worked well with Robin in April when we spent 3 days there picking everything out that you do in 9 months when building a house.
We put in a fireplace which was a good challenge for them, but we are sure it will be great.
Yesterday, we met Doug Matz who is parked right around the corner from us at Hearthside Grove in Petoskey, MI.
What a beautiful coach they have.
Really looking forward to traveling the country in a Newell and getting to meet other Newellites.

Saw this on WOG.

I emailed him for a list of what Newell parts he has. If he responds I'll post it here.

I have been doing some research on propane boost to a Diesel engine. The pickup I am looking at is modified and in doing some research it seems to add 2-3 miles per gallon to your fuel milage because you burn 99% of the diesel instead of just over 8o%... Engine gurus. Any one considered doing it to the coach?

Front Driver Side (right below the driver) on a 2002 is a round Marker Light. Appears to be a LED, maybe sealed. How does it come out.. does it screw out? Where do I get replacement. It's marked Truck Lite, SAE P2PC97. Can't find this on the internet at all. Any ideas?
