This diagram only applies to HWH slides. I know it says Prevost, but this is the diagram for a Newell, single ram slide, commonly used in the bedroom.

This diagram only applies to HWH slides. I know it says Prevost, but this is the diagram for a Newell, drop floor slide, like is commonly used in the salon.

Can you add a "slides" subject line to the Documentation section as I have some pdf files for HWH slides I would like to post?

During my stay at the Newell factory, I had several conversations with service personnel who were familiar with the Gurus. I heard nothing but positive comments concerning us and what we are doing. But I also heard a common reminder that I feel is important to pass on and reinforce. If you are working on a particular year & model production car, you will encounter exactly the same car, every time. When working on Newells we must remember that "no two Newells are the same". My coach, #531 and Russ White's coach, #530 are a good example. Although they were born at the same time, at the same place, by the same people Russ and I have noted about a thousand differences--we are unidentical twins. A second point for each of us to remember is that there are very few "one fix fits all". We need to keep in mind that a fix for one coach, may not help the next one of us. Behind this is the fact that the original builders had different wants and foresaw different uses. I think both of these points are important for both the person asking for help and the person trying to provide help.

I'm starting the process of restoring the water bay. I just removed all screws and rivets but the aluminum face plate is still secured tightly to the frame. Was this glued also? If so has anyone removed it and how. I don't want to mess up the framing behind the facia.

During the production tour, our salesman was asked what the future held for engines. LPG? Interestingly he felt they would probably go in the direction of the railroad locomotives---an engine that runs a series of electrical motors with a way to store energy for when it was needed. He stressed that nothing is currently on the drawing table, but felt this would be the next engine trend some time in the unknown future.

                While at MCC resort we got our coach outfited with Solar Fabric Shade for our windshield and side front windoows.
It turned out great ! and most important it works , cuts 95 % UV and it reduces how much heat gets in to your coach via front winshield.

The fabric they used is newer thicker and more webbier tehnology! you can still see out and that is nice!

it took about 2,5 hrs to fabicate and they put it on your winshield durring the hottest time of the day , so the fabric streatch due to the heat on the windhield.
I aksed then why they dont raund off the corners for nicer more stylish look.
They said that when others do they use velcro style corner and that tandancy to live wrinkles on teh shade over the time! SolBrella Cover Designs use 3 snaps on the top and two only on the bottom for the main windshield section, very easy to set it up ! need ladder and one person can do it! they have 3 years waranty on their product , also they made two wipers covers.
Not cheap for total of 3 covers : windshield & two side windows will set you back $450 but results are worth the money!

We tested on the same hot day running 2 AC unit and we got down some 10-15F inside the coach ! its good investemnent if you stay in sunny spot for lonf periods, as we did full month facing sun!! alos it will make your AC running not as hard as with out the shade.

I took few images.

I am leaking air where the glass bowl screws onto the valve body. I have tried "O" rings but no success. Does anyone know what seal is required. Photo attached of the water separator.
   

steve bare,

while you are at newell, can you find out how the vacuum pumps are plumbed in to suck the air out of the slide airbags so you can post it?

i assume they use the standard 12v ford vacuum pump like i put in my 90.

thanks

tom

I'm not sure where I should have put this post - repairs, technical issues, tools... And I'm also not as mechanically inclined as Richard so could some one tell me exactly what part of Clarke's Newell or ours are these 2 guys working on today?
