We have decided to sell our coach. It is a 1987 40', 102" wide, #139. For pictures and an info sheet, email to [email protected]

This is a stupid question, and I should have asked in more detail when I was at the mothership. For those converting to the 365 tires and wider rims, some front hubs have to have smaller diameter wheel studs. The expression newell uses to justify 2000 extra dollars is that the studs have to be machined.


Does anyone know exactly what they do? Do they press them out and turn them down? Do they have some threading die and do them still on the hub? This is a mystery to me.

I am wondering why the studs can't be pressed out of the hub just like you would do if one were broken, and replaced with the smaller one?

If I am going to lay a rubber coin floor over plywood floor in a trailer which adhesive would you all recommend to put down first? I'm thinking of doing a little trailer improvement this summer and I am a rank amateur when it comes to DIY...Your opinions and experience are greatly appreciated!

Leaving tomorrow to look at the stacker.. Also gonna visit my dad for a day.. Anyone have any advise on anything to look for? It has a generator, ac, and solar panels.. It also has an air ride suspension and has a lift gate as opposed to an internal lift.. Just had Newell add air to the back of the coach to power the suspension and the brakes on the trailer..comments welcome.

Well,
Its our second season here in Indio at MCC Coutry Club with some over 40 Newells parked on good day!!! that is why they called Newell Valley!

Art Festival ( second largest in US coming up this weekend )

So far at out club we had :
Golf Cart Christmas Parade with some over 100 Golf Carts decorated in all colors!

Tennis Tournaments two of them.
Pro / Am Golf Tournament include PGA pros and our 90 members

Car Show , where we closed one section of street and many members brought all kinds of classic cars , live music with plenty good time and food!

Motorcycle 200 miles Rally starting from MCC up to Mecca-Joshua Tree and back to the club, lots of members own motorcycles.
Mardi Gras festival at the club with many members and their carts got all dressed up!! it was fun time with good food and music!

This club is amazing one with so much to do here and so many great restaurants around Palm Desert and of course if you in to golf , we have 120 golf courses hereto play!
Planing on spending 4-5 months here each year between Montana home.
We will be on the road two yaers in June and be heading back to our home in Florence , MT
Please let us know if you live or traveling by Montana , we would love to meet you!

I was looking at the roster earlier and had a thought that I would like to share.
There really is no Chapter in FMCA that is attractive to me. I would like to propose that we start a Chapter for the FMCA Members that would include Older Newells, Blue Birds, and possibly Prevosts!
Could be some work but.....................................

    Gang,

Many of us keep detailed travel records of the places we go, the prices and amount of fuel we use and the maintenance stuff we do to our coaches. I wanted to share something that I have done for the past year or so.

I got a map and attached it to a cork board. Whenever I park the bus overnight at a new location, I add a pin. (I skip the wally world stops).

I reminds me that I need to get my bus further away from my home base. I put special colored pins for our mecca in Miami and for my home base in Auburn, Alabama.

Thought you guys would like to see. Also, if you have other ideas please feel free to share!

Cheers,
bill
