While at the Guru Rally my family hiked a mountain called Crow Peak. As we crossed Spearfish we spied this old coach off an alley with some other RV's and cars. I did not call on it because mine is enough work already but what year do you suppose it is?

   

This posting is to report my recent experience traversing the mountains in southern Oregon and northern California. My Silverleaf normally shows the engine water temperature at 188 degrees and the transmission a few degrees higher. Crossing these mountains, the engine reached 214 and the transmission 237, which seems very high. Interestingly, the transmission increased going down the mountain with the Jake on. My transmission manual states that there is not a problem when the temperature is less than 250, and this may be higher since I use synthetic. My engine manual does not state a maximum temperature, but I suspect it is around 220 or 225. I anyone knows the answer, please post.

Well, Gurus will know it first, My 2005 Newell Quad Slide #722 is going up for sale. I found a 2013 at Newell that I want, and I have to sell mine to swing it. As you know, I have my coach in excellent condition, spending 90K on it at Newell since I got it last year. I have been frustrated with it at times, but I found out that the problems with it was caused by myself, by not knowing the unit, as I should have. I am selling the Stacker I just had painted, with it, because I will buy a new one to be painted to match the new coach. Here is the write up on it:

For sale, 2005 Newell Quad-Slide, 60K miles, Well maintained with all the factory upgrades. This is the one everybody is looking for. It has the steerable tag axle, Awnings mounted on the roof, instead of the side. 500 HP Detroit Diesel with jake brake. Allison automatic 6 speed. ’05 is the Model where they made all of the changes that the new ones have. Front tires have been upgraded at Newell, along with the tags to 365’s (wider). All tires are new. New House Batteries (8), and new coach batteries(2) were replaced in January of this year. Newell ran it through their factory shop, and made every repair it needed this year. They installed the rear sway bar upgrade like the new ones have, making it handle like a sports car. It has Girard Patio Awnings, and 4 window awnings. 20 KW Power Tech Generator, new Inverter/battery charger, new transfer switch. Aqua Hot heat, four roof ducted roof airs. Dishwasher, new Microwave/convection oven. Sub Zero refrigerator, with 2 freezer drawers and ice-maker. 42” Plasma TV in salon, 42” Plasma TV in bedroom that rises out of foot of bed. In-motion Satellite TV antenna, new HD stationary TV antenna. Island Queen bed, shower in rear. Toilet in middle with dual entry. Air operated pocket door. Sofa with Hidabed in front cabin. Built-in central Vacuum System. Stacked Washer/Dryer, large closets, and plenty of drawers. Electric window shades. Matching Featherlite Stacker trailer with Hydraulic lift. I will have it listed for 549K for the pair. Let me know if anyone is interested..

I was at the Newell factory this week and since the question has come up in the past on the first Newell with slides, I did a little research. There was ONE 1996 model Newell with a slide. That was coach # 436. Unfortunately, 436 was totaled in a roll over accident.

The second Newell with a slide was coach #440, a 1997 model.

we are here at cherry hill campground in DC and there is a awesome Newell !! maybe in the morning we will be blessed with there appearance lol . this coach is a sweet 4 slide . markings on the real 7/11 ??

OK Guys, I am thinking about getting a RZR to take along to play with. I have noticed that some of you have them already. I need a little guidance on what to look for, and what to stay away from. Any suggestions?

hi all,

thinking my amana fridge might have bit the dust. compressor buzzes, then tries to start and doesnt. could be a bad start relay, but no one has one locally. my door panel controls dont work and the icemake/water inlet solenoid has been slowly leaking and is all corroded.

i bought a relay kit but of course after driving to calgary to get it and having jim ellis make me a platform to get it out.

clarke, forest and i took the fridge out and didnt get anywhere.

with 3 people it isnt too hard, but we didnt take it all the way out. just rolled it out on the platform and pulled it forward so we could get behind it.

so.. i know a number of you have replaced the fridge, what exact fridge did you put in? and how did you anchor it? the amana has wheels that screw down to push it up against the top brace over the fridge. i suspect newer ones dont have that.

responses quickly please.

i have not measure how easy to get it out the spiral staircase air door yet

tom

Where is the fridge plugin? Do I need to pull fridge out to get to the socket? Thanks

While traveling this weekend, I boondocked twice with unacceptable results. The first night, I only had the refrigerator, directv receiver and stereo amplifier on. The inverter shut down after five hours. The next night, I turned off the amplifiers, directv in sleep mode, and after seven hours the gauge showed 12.2 volts and shut down when I turned on the coffee maker. A Xantrex Link-Pro monitor I had installed independently showed the batteries to be at 90% of capacity when it shut down. I am not sure how old the batteries are, but I will put a load test on them later in the week. All cables are tight. Any suggestions?

To the group from Spearfish that went to Canada - please let us know what RV park you stayed and if you would recommend it - or if you recommend any other other parks in Calgary that you have stayed. THANK YOU!
