Here is a link to get a pdf copy of the AquaHot service manual that covers the units Newell installed up until about 2004. The 431/12 and AHE-100-02S models use the same manual.

            Hello,
We made from awesome Motorcoach Country Club in Indio,CA to Tucson,AZ and just pulled in to LazyDays RV park ( nice and plenty space )

I noticed new leak around the compressor area ( front coach near the air vent wheel )
Right below the air tank there is small valve like part with ope hole where lots of air coming out! I coud easy put screw in it and be done , but I want to ask first if there was screw and just puped out or it should have open hole and part is bad ? not sure what thsi par is doing ?
I attached soemphotos.

Also, is anyone had positive feedback at LazyDays RV Service, I noticed that there is one here along with Camping World, we will be stying here for 2 months.

Those of you who know me from other forums know that I ask lots of questions. I've learned a lot, thanks to the generosity of lots of people who freely share their accumulated wisdom.

I've always admired 'Birds because of their roll cage construction. While rolling any coach is not recommended, 'Birds seem to survive the event considerably better than most others. How does Newell construction compare to that of a 'Bird? I'm most interested in the WB Classics here.

Second question. I haven't seen much discussion about seams or screw holes leaking. I know that keeping up with caulking is simply good maintenance, but some coaches seem to have more troubles than others, possibly due to design and/or construction. What's the roof like on the WB Classics?

howdy,

i have a large number of extra wires that are in the bundle that goes to the control panel for the lights and where the alarm/clock/thermostat is on the bedroom slide. i want to use some of them for dc power with my new nightstands and bed lift.

but, i have not been able to find out where they go to. i have looked in the dc fuse panel in the rear bath closet and didnt find any spares in there.

anyone have any idea where they go so i can find and use them??

thanks

tom

Thanks to Steve and Suzy for giving Jo Ann and me a tour of their beautiful coach this afternoon. Although their coach is probably 10 years newer than what we could buy, much of what we saw and heard would still be applicable to a Classic WB.

On the way home I did think of some additional questions, and if I don't find the answers already on the forum I'll ask.

Thanks again!

This fan just started running backward lately. There is only 1 hot lead going to the fan +12.5v. The second wire from the fan goes directly to ground. I replaced the switch with a smaller unit with an LED indicator light. I tried bypassing the switch, no difference!! I am confused & frustrated. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

New coach on the market in LA.

A part of Newell ownership that is often overlooked is the Newell family. Suzy & I had a wonderful dinner with Jimmy & Brenda(guru member Ozarkguy) last night at one of Eureka Springs, AR finest. Always fun to get together & talk "Newells". David Linninger is coming by the farm today for more "Newell" talk(guru member Kb0zke). I know I'm preaching to the choir to most here, but for those that are trying to decide on a Newell, owning a Newell is great, but the Newell friendships are priceless!

hi all,

someone just asked me if any of the newells had adjustable pedals for the driver.

the person is a little less that 5' tall and wanted to know if the coach was driveable with someone that height.

being over 6'2" and the size of a sasquatch, it is hard for me to know if the seat in my 02 can be adjusted enough.

do any newells have the adjustable brake pedal? seems like the throttle would be easy to permanently adjust by mounting it farther back and up if needed.

is there anyone that is around 5' that is driving a newell and if so, is it comfortable?

any wisdom here?

tom

hi all,

my 90 has the batwing hand crank antenna and works for hd OTA just great. my 2002 has a mount for it, but nothing there but the coax.

and no control panel in the front tv cabinet.

i was looking at several different antennas, at first mostly the stationary small ufo looking ones.

i know that if the 02 had an OTA antenna it likely would be the winegard ma-1000 motorized lift one. is that right? that is discontinued by winegard and people are asking lofty amounts for it.

i do not want to put a hand crank one in.

what are you guys using and with what success?

i currently have an cheap amplified one installed behind the front tv and it works, but but needs to be outside.

thoughts?

tom
