Well took 701 for the maiden voyage last week. Worked great had a few minor things they fixed immediately when I got back. As they were washing getting ready to leave they noticed bubbling coming from one of the seals. They immediately pulled the slide fixed the seal and sent me on the way.

Well we are at lake Ouachita and I just noticed another seal has a small leak. Newell said have it here Monday morning and we can fix it.. So love the dedication and attention to detail they provide!

   

We began our search for a bunk coach in Oct 2012 looking at Prevost conversions as we had a 2002 and a 2010 at the the time. We met Brian Pitts at the Tampa show in Jan of 2013 and learned of a bunk coach being built on spec 1480 for the Daytona race. We received photos and had several conversations with him. We were pleased to see Newell had a bunk style coach as a standard offering so it would not be an anomaly if we had one of them. Our search of the Prevost found very few if any have been made and 4 slides was out on a Provost design as well as at least 500k more. It took a bit of time for me to get reprogrammed about Prevost being the best, the ultimate, ect. We finally had a chance to look at and drive 1480 in August and decided that would be great for us only to learn the following day it was sold. At this point we had drank the Newell cool aid. In September we came agreement to have a coach built. We were at camp Newell dropping off our coach and beginning the process of having 1517 built the end of October. It took about 3.5 days to pick out the design and finishes. Always wanted to build one but was not planning it so soon.

The coach start date was January 6th and Newell started on that day. It is a very exciting and daunting process. The folks at Newell have been awesome to work with and every time we ask something the answers have been sure we can do that.

Anyone ever change the output shaft speed sending unit?

howdy all,

we are having a family get together in southern alberta and today i went to the Ag Expo with my brotherinlaw. not being a farmer, it was quite a fascinating thing to see. tractors with 8 tires that are 7 foot tall each, tractors you can almost walk underneath and some BIG diesel engines.

lots of interesting displays. i even got some ideas on how to seal the floor in my new shop. there were vendors there selling floor sealers for animal barns.

after getting up here from sunny phoenix, i am reminded why i dont like the dirty snow, ice and freezing temperatures.

So, is there more differences between how tires get treated and how long they last than differences between brands and how long they last?

I get to replace the drive and tag axle tires. Is what brand not as important as proper air pressure, rotating etc? Not so interested in 'the best' brand as much as are there some brands you just needs to avoid?

Also, anyone running a lug pattern on drives? Just don't see a reason to, plus it would you more positions to rotate to.

thanks

OK Here is my problem: I've been sitting in Las Vegas since the last of Oct. with out a need to run my A/C, so the wind comes up today with a lot of dust, so we decided to close the rig up and run the A/C. Well we tried, but neither one would come on, so I started checking things on what I know (which is not very much). No. 1 the breakers in the big box in the closet, all OK. 2 I checked the little 3.o amp. fuses for the thermostats, both OK. 3 Went to Problem-Remedy for no cooling, I reset the thermostats, nothing. I even started the ginny up and that didn't make it work. My thinking is maybe the thermostat went bad, but what are the odds of both going at once. Any bright ideas on what my next thing to check might be?
Thanks for your help.
This is on unit 516, 1999. The A/C's are the SCS type

I had a little bit of a hunt to find the correct shock numbers for a 99 era coach with Ridewell rear and Dana IFS on the front.

Here they are:

Front Koni 90-1710SP3
Rear Koni 90-1868
Tag Gabriel 85000 Normal or 89436 Adjustable
