Forum: Help, I need help ASAP
- Replies (26)

I just got off the phone with Bill & his mechanic. They are in need of any one who has an understanding of the leveling & travel systems on a '90 Newell. It is pre HWH. It appears that the leveling & travel systems are fighting amongst each other. Both systems seem to be activated at the same time. As the travel solenoid tries to add air, the dump valve is exhausting air. The front & rear are working the opposite--On the front the LF goes too high & on the rear the RR goes too high. Any of you classic owners that can help?

I believe this coach belongs to one of the Gurus and is in great shape. One of my favorite floor-plans..

There is a thread just below this one called “Know anything about this Newell?”

It referenced a 2002 Newell for sale at Lazydays in Tampa. The thread goes on to say “I believe this is a discussion of that coach from Nov of 2013. http://newellgurus.com/Thread-2002-for-sale

The thread discusses this coach and some folks here on the forum even put bids in on it without success. Folks here on the forum also said the coach is not worth more than $100,000.00 and its listed for $230,799.00 hence my question.

Those who said the coach is worth $100,000.00 are guys who know something about what they’re talking about. So how can a coach worth $100,000.00 still have a price of $230,799.00?

Don’t misunderstand me, I understand you get what the traffic will bare and a dealer wants to get as much as they can. But dealers also have all these units floor-planned and costs them a bundle just sitting on the lot. By all indication this unit has been there awhile.

Why do you think Lazydays still has the coach sitting there for $230,799.00? Is it maybe because all potential buyers don’t talk to you guys and its buyer beware?

Thanks guys,

Harry

and a few other gurus.
The other morning I had a warm shower. Should have been piping hot but wasn't. As it usually happens we were heading in the truck to Salt Lake City that morning for a couple days. I called Rudy and he gave me a few things to check but since we were leaving I didn't have time.
Just got back and first thing checked the coolant level. It was low, could just feel it when I stuck my index finger in the tank, and the overflow tank was almost empty. Called Rudy in a panic thinking I had a busted tank. Rudy assured me that is a fairly common problem and to fill the tank with coolant or distilled water and turn it on. Tomorrow I'll replace the radiator cap and hose and clamps.
This is the kind of help that makes this forum so valuable!

Hi Guys,

I'm just curious about something. I understand that Newell builds around 28 coaches a year. Do you have any idea how many coaches some of the better Class A's make each year?

Coaches like American Eagle, Entegra Cornerstone or Newmar Essex?

Is it also true that Foretravel is the only other coach that, like Newell, builds their own chassis? Any have an idea of how many they build?

Thank you one and all,

Harry

Forum: Suggestions

In order to highlight the need of a fellow Guru who is dealing with an emergency, breakdown and/or need for urgent help I am suggesting that a new section be placed at the top of the forum. This would allow a fellow Guru to request assistance in an emergency and be instantly recognized by others coming to the site. This way some one doesn't miss the opportunity to help some one just because it is posted in an area that the person is not interested in. Highlighting this area in red, instead of the forum blue would add to the quick notification. Under the caption could be a statement like this:

This topic is for urgent help, breakdown or emergencies while traveling. Do not make any other posts in this topic, it will be deleted or moved.

Gents, I am holed up back at our rally site from last year...Elkhorn ridge, SD. I fueled up at Pilot in Rapid City and after pulling out noticed the coach behaving awkwardly on the road so I stopped and checked and the right front side was riding high and the L/R was very low... Called Roadside assistance and they said 6 hrs...called Newell and Tommy said have him bring a 8 1/4 inch block of wood to put in place once he removed the airbag...after two hours Roadside service call me and say he won't make it today so I start the coach up and somehow am able to get a little bit of air in the bag so that it is just over the wheel well and I make I limp it to Spearfish. Am off to arrange a truck mechanic to change all airbags. I'm hoping we can get this taken care of in the next day or so but I'm sure it will depend on availability of part etc.

Hi everyone. Feel free to "friend us" if you have Facebook. My page is public so anyone can do it. Just hit "request friend" and your in.

Dave and Marjories Full Time Newell travels

Last year we traveled 16,000 miles in our Newell! From Hilton Head Island SC to Yellowstone, to Glacier, to Vancouver, all the way down to San Diego to Fort Myers Beach Florida.

This year we have gone from Ft Myers Beach, to Quebec City, to Yellowstone, to Lake Louis/Banff and are now in Newport Or. 7,000 miles so far. Planning on 6,000 more miles this year, San Fran, South Tahoe, Utah, Vegas, and Palm Springs.

I take lots of pics and our favorite thing to do is look for wildlife which we have seen EVERYWHERE. I think there are a few Newell Guru members that I am friends with already.
Thanks,
Dave
