We ware in Creede, CO ( Mountain Views Resort ) Newell had mini rally there few years ago!

After month there weather started to get bad, cold, rainy and windy and some snow .
Last two days it got down to 26F in the morning and we ware ready to take off , but engine would crank but not start?
I kinda knew that it had to be due to cold weather! it been starting smooth for past 2 years we own the coach!

I ran out and got Starting fluid at local Hardware store in Creede, than did two sprays in to air intake ( I think that what is its above the engine , pilot rear side ) I then short started at the circuit board ( rear engine ) and she started right on!!!

Something new to learn! I did not pre head the engine night before and that was my problem! if you do that , than engine should start during cold mornings.
I even used generator and it wouldn't start ( new engine battery )

So now, I need to pay more attention to cold nights and do pre heat the switch , if not Starting Fuel is the " ticket "

Heading to Chama, New Mexico for 2 weeks , aspen are in the full swing

Woke up this morning to no electric heat from the Aquahot.
Breaker OK, checked the voltage according to Roger Berke's troubleshooting guide, ok voltage at panel. Next step is to check the electric elements, but where are they?

Here's the link. Says needs no repairs.
Where's the fun in that. Looks nice.

Roger made a special parts package purchase and got a Newell Temperature sending unit. As you know this item is no longer made and no longer available.

Here is the link if you are interested in it:

Anyone we know at Camp Newell??? We just pulled in and enjoy meeting new Newellers.

Brenda wanted one of these little jobs- so you know the old saying~
and, since we just bought the coach in Aug, got to install our name plate

Have been recently looking for Newells and am impressed with the quality I see. Looking for something clean and well maintained for less than $50,000.

Any suggestions for I door RV storage? I don't have the luxury of a large property where I can build a garage, living in condo in Destin, fl.

Well,
No one responded with interest on the Winegard Traveler dome in motion ( See my description in the sell giveaway section) came out of our Newell 2001

Last call on this one if anyone has need for , its yours for free!!! all u need is to pay for S?H or pick it up.

It worked flowerless for years ! I just upgraded to HD dish type.

We are living Creede, CO tomorrow for NM and I wont be taking it with me! so will be just left here at the Mountain Views Campground in Creede, CO

hi all,

i have not been very many places where it is cold.

the last couple of places i have been it has been hard to start the engine. i had to crank it alot to get it started this morning and it was in the high 50's.

at what temp does the engine get "cranky" and need to be preheated?

it seems to be ok once the engine is totally warmed up. i think....

thanks

tom
