This is a serious yet fun question.  This past week we took a ferry from Port Angeles WA to Victoria BC and another one from Vancuver Island to Vancuver BC. WITHOUT the Newell.  But as I sat in my car I was wondering if I could do this with the Newell.  The short answer for the Port Angeles/Victoria ferry is NO.  Newells will easily fit but the breakover angle on the enter exit ramp is two much, you will high center a Newell.  The Vancuver Is/Vancuver ferry is a maybe.  It was a double decker and I didn't get to see the entrance/exit ramps on the bottom level where the semis and other large rigs park.

I did see several nice class A's, and C's along with several travel trailers and semis getting on and off.

My questions to you guys is: Have any of you taken your Newell on a ferry?  Of so which one/s and were there any issues we should be aware of.

I’ve been starting my coach for the last few weeks and I noticed the Detroit 60 struggling few minutes after start up. It’s as if it fuel would slowly cut off, the engine start slow down at idle and eventually cut off. Now I can’t even get it to start. In doing some research, I understand it can be a multitude of things from the ECM to fuel
Pump or bad diesel. I was just wondering if anyone here had run into the same problem before calling out a mechanic? Thanks for any help?

See Post 21 for relocation Info due to Helene damage in Asheville. Rhonda and I plan to stay May 6 to May 18 2025 at the East Asheville KOA in Swannanoa NC. Please join us if you can. It is not a resort campground but Asheville has a lot to offer with the Blue Ridge parkway, arts scene, Biltmore House, Chimney Rock, and a vibrant food scene. We will be in site B18. They have about 20 truly big rig sites, so reserve now if you want a spot. I know it’s a year away, but I am married to the uberplanner.

Gurus, My 2009 coach 1261 has 2 failed southco bay latches on the fuel door. One of the latches does not release with the safety pull cable. Does anyone have advice as to how to release this latch when the pull cable has no effect?

I had this happen to a latch in a pass through bay and was able to crawl in and remove the catch from the coach body by removing the two bolts. This is not possible in this case because the tank is in the way and batteries are in the bay on the other side of the coach. HELP!!

BTW, the latches failed at the same time when I lifted the release handle on the fuel door and the handle stayed out. I rushed to activate the bay door locks (which turn off the power) but it was too late. Both were dead. We had just left Newell after our PM, and were on the way to an appointment, so we couldn't go right back. We planned to go after we were free. Besides, I checked the release cable operation for both latches and they worked. Fast forward a few weeks and I had used the cables to release the fuel door several times. Today one of the release pull cables had no effect. Therefore no fuel could be added. Not enough fuel to guarantee making it to Newell.

I called Newell and the recommendation was 1. pull the release cable. 2. spray wd-40 into the southco latch. 3. try pulling the cable again while pushing in where the latch mates so the pressure is off the latch while pulling. No workee....

2 newells at the same fuel stop in Austin,tx.
we pulled up at the fuel station in Austin in our newell ( the one on the left  tan and brown one) and next to us was another older newell. I cant remember there name but I think they were in coach # 570 but not sure. Very nice people. What are the odds of this  and we were not traveling together either    

I'm trying to get the panty big sliding drawer out.    I do not see any levers and it's pretty difficult to get in there to probe around.  What am I missing?

on my 02 the wrap around dash panel that had the review monitor, dash ac, radio, hwh panel i am going to replace.  the monitor was a hodegpodge homemade one that newell cobbled together and it was big and heavy and failed.  so i put a new monitor and camera setup on with the monitor hanging like a review mirror from the overhead.  the weight of all these things had broke the dash panel up anyway.  

it is woodgrain plastic abs.  i will figure out how to make a new one and reposition the things so i can actually use them.  the dash ac control was clear at the floor.  

i got the cad file from newell but it was for a few coaches after mine.  i have been playing with it and think i am close to having it right.  

i cannot find exact matches on the woodgrain abs.  pretty close but not exact.  so i may do it that way or maybe use a carbon fibre abs look for that piece.  not decided yet.

trying to find a reasonable place locally to do the cutting from the file.  

it was a nightmare getting the dash taken apart with all the hidden bolts and such.  

anyone done this before?

there is nothing backlit on this particular piece.  

my panel on my left drivers arm next to the window has faded such that you cant see the labels on the switches.  where the allison control panel is.  i have tried different polishes to no avail.  i can have a new one made but it would not be backlit so it would just look nicer with no labels.  has anyone come up with a solution for that?

Howdy everyone! Long time no post.

I've been running without cruise control for nearly a year (comes on but shows set speed of 0 no matter what I try).  Newell didn't have time to look into it when I was there in September, another shop diagnosed it as a fault leading to the CAT reading that the brakes were applied (much like trying to set the CC on your car while touching the brakes - it disengages). I took it to a well known RV shop in the Tampa area (twice!) only to learn it doesn't have a CAT computer so it couldn't help. I finally took it to Rush in Tampa and they had it fixed in 2 days (with Newell's help) - turns out it was a dead relay ( AZ977-1A-12D - American Zettler - Authorized Distributor (onlinecomponents.com)).  All happy now, just in time for our annual circumnavigation of CONUS and my right knee couldn't be happier.

BTW - shout out to Rush in Tampa.  I picked her up and found her in exactly the same condition as when I dropped her, none of the usual dirt, smudges and stains I usually see at a truck shop. Plus they topped off my AC and did my belts (I'm still working so it's cheaper to pay a pro for an hour vice distracting me from working for 3 hours).  Turns out Rush Tampa has a couple of CAT certified techs and one that specializes in RVs.  I won't hesitate to go back.

Safe travels!

Broken down just crossed the South Carolina border from Georgia. Pinion arm seal let go on the steering gearbox Coach number 544 to 2000 Newell. i’ve got a mobile mechanic coming in the morning to the rest stop that I made it to, but could really use a part number for the pinion arm seal. Please and thank you. Shepperd M110 steering gear box pinion arm seal part number!!??
