Anyone know about this coach?
A friend was wondering If I knew anything about it.
http://www2.svherald.com/classifieds/tra...s_campers/

On my 99, what is the fuel tank capacity? Also I have not been able to find my fresh water or waste water capacity in the manuels I received with the coach. Chappell

This applies to Newells from the early 90s through about 2004. This will not apply to anyone who has replaced their taillights with LEDs. This is for those that are still using the original red Truck-Lite #07081 bus lights in the taillight and stop light positions. These are sealed beams. No bulb to replace, must replace entire light.

I had a taillight burn out. I removed it and did a continuity check on the three connectors. One position is marked "ground", one marked "minor" and one marked "major". To my surprise there are two filaments in each sealed beam--one for the taillight and one for the stop light. I was able to take the one with the burnt out taillight filament and exchange it with the one in the stop light position. They now both work without replacing the sealed beam.

Hope this helps someone.....................

My outside temp. gage on the dash has stopped working and I was wandering how to get to it. I removed the 4 screws holding all the gages but doesn't seem to want to come out. My tranmission gage stopped working and had it replaced. This gage is beside it and was working before before I had the other gage replaced. So I hope it is just a loose connection. Thanks for any help. Chappell

Brenda and I headed north in texas on Hwy 281. Going thru Jacksboro, around a curve- saw an early Newell parked- for a while.

Today I purchased diesel for $3.669. Regular unleaded gasoline was $3.859. Been a long time since diesel was that much cheaper than gasoline!

another chapter in the search for air leaks. my supply air would drain overnight if the compressor was not left on. wednesday i was out in the garage working and i heard a strange noise. i didnt pay much attention to it. then i heard the compressor come on and again, not unusual. but it ran and ran and ran. so i went and looked and it was only getting up to 70psi. so i shut it off and didnt have time to deal with it till thursday.

i aired it up with the engine thursday morning and as soon as i turned it off i could watch the supply air drain down about 10 psi a minute. i knew i had a castastrophic leak. i was pretty bummed. i put my leak detector headset on and walked around and didnt hear any leaks. inside and out. so then i called my personal newell mechanic (steve bare) and he talked me off the ledge.

he said what i knew but didnt really think about it. to air up the coach using a separate air compressor. i only have a small pancake compressor in my garage so i put it in an outdoor storage room in the back yard and ran a long air hose to the coach. i had previously made an adapter to put in the air chuck port in the engine bay. (a 1/4" ball valve with male air connectors on each side) and hooked up the compressor. it would only get to 80psi. steve said the next thing was to open up each bay one at a time and listen in them. what i discovered is that the leak detector will not hear leaks inside a compartment unless the door is open. a lesson in leak detecting.

as soon as i opened the passenger side aquahot bay i didnt need no leak detector. the manifold for the holding tank air valve was blowing air out a ton.

i have never used that dump valve so for now, i took the manifold out and capped off the line. it will be on my list for the fall.

i kept going so i found another small leak i could have only found with the leak detector. (i am becoming more sold on it than i was before). the petcock on the bottom of the small air tank in the genny blower bay was leaking. so i replaced it as well.

i aired it up to 100psi last nite and turned the compressor off inside. it dropped obout 30-35 psi in about 12 hours. i consider that to be pretty good from where i started from.

now i just have to find the leak on the drivers side airbag circuit.

Anyone going to FMCA rally prior to Spearfish?

I spotted my 90 leaving the front of my house with her bill, her new owner and len his buddy who flew down from colorado to help bill drive up to colorado.

they are really great guys and we had a great time from the time i picked them up at the airport last nite. they got the newell overview and this morning we went for a long drive to practice. he did great

the picture is of Bill and Len right before they left this morning and the guy waving is bill in the passenger seat. Len was starting the drive.

a little sad to see her leave the house for the last time but happy to have made new friends.
