Since I bought the '98 coach my VMSPC has been having problems. Some of the gauges will either lock up or go to zero while driving. I've had Silverleaf tech guy on the phone before trying to see where the problem is to no avail. While driving from the rally the lockups and zeros got worse, especially when I needed the coolant temperature. So I sent it back to them to check out. They said it was one of the first 25 usb models and did a software update and it appears to be working correctly now. They have it on a bench test this weekend and will ship it back on Monday. So hopefully it will work like it should.

Got a little mouse in the basement. I surprised him the other day when I opened the door. So I put out 2 glue traps with peanut butter. He evidently really likes peanut butter because the little rascal ate it off of both glue traps and left plenty of skid marks on the glue. So Cindy went to wally world and could only find these newfangled traps. Apparently the mouse goes into a door and around the inside to eat the peanut butter, the cheapo plastic spring is supposed to slam the door shut and trap him inside then you throw the whole thing away. Well the mouse apparently suffers from claustrophobia because he popped the top off of the "no mess, no view, humane" trap and escaped! Right now I just want the little bugger gone so I'm going look for a victor trap. So what if he suffers? He's a darn rodent!

Hi everyone, was a poster on the LCL site for two years and finally decided to sign up for this site. Wondered where everyone went? LOL. For those who do not know us, we are Dave and Marjorie formally from Hilton Head Island, SC but now wherever the wheels take us. Yes, retired and full timers 365 days a year! We are on our 16th month full timing and have traveled over 25,000 miles in our Newell all around the country during that time.

We purchased coach #423 from Dick Brooks' daughter and son in law in Oct 2012. Dick was the original owner and was a famous Nascar Driver winning Talladega, but retired long before he built this one. He was also a famous MRN announcer known as "Brooksie". This was his 3rd Newell. He owned over 13 car dealerships and 6 Hilton Garden Inn hotels, as well as a few yachts and really knew his Newells.

The coach was a time capsule with most everything original when we purchased it. It had 65k miles. We have changed that, putting in over $30,000 updating everything from to complete interior remodel, to new tires, batteries and many engine, chassis and house components.

From what we have researched and learned from Karl Blade when we were at Newell for service, this was the first true Bath and 1/2 bath ever made! He believed there were two others after ours with no slides and that's it.

Been so traveling, really haven't had much time for the site, but now we are sitting for a month in Newport, Oregon relaxing, taking a vacation from our vacation so will catch up. Will be happy to post pics of everything we have done once I figure out how.

The nearest "official' AquaHot service facility to my home base in Harrisburg, PA is 144 miles away in Grasonville, MD. The next closest is in a Pittsburgh suburb.
Does anyone know of a good AquaHot dude in central PA or perhaps northern MD? He or she wouldn't necessarily be 'certified,' just good at what they do.
The best one I use in Florida is at Eagle's Pride, a part of Great Outdoor in Titusville.
Thanks gang!

What is the best position to extend your awning?
Is it strongest if fully extended or strongest if out only a few feet?
It seems to move up or down more with the wind if fully extended.

Hi Guys,

I saw this 2003 45’ Newell and saw something I’ve not seen before and have included an attachment. Thats the generator right? I’ve never seen one in front of a coach before, wouldn’t it generate a lot of noise into the coach?

I've included the address for the website as well.

What do you guys think of this coach?

Hi Folks!
Debbie and I were driving from Bismarck N.D. south on Hwy. 212 in South Dakota just above Sturgis, SD, trying to beat all the craziness that will occur there in a couple weeks, when we came to this little town, population 675! As they used to say on the Old TV show, Hee Haw, YaaaHooo!
Had to stop and block some traffic to take a picture for everyone to see our beautiful coaches' actually have a town named after them!

I have a portable freezer located in one of the bays below. I lost 120v power and everything spoiled. Power to the commode room, and both bays down below are out. My manual states that there is a CIF in both the galley and commode closet, but I cannot find them. Power to the galley is OK. Help please.

Hi guys,

I’m sorry for using the “P” word on Newell Guru, if you will allow me this one dispensation I’ll not use such language again!

I’ve known about Prevost for years, I had two good friends in Amway who had them and they were very nice coaches for sure.

Newell I’ve known a couple months and the more I know the more I know Newell is the coach for me and my wife! One main difference I know is that Newell is built from the ground up by Newell engineers. Prevost is a bus chassis (like Bluebird) converted to a Motorhome by companies like Marathon.

That is about what I know and would appreciate you good folks filling in the voids.

Thanks again,

Harry
