It just hit the Motorhomes of Texas website for $49,500. For some one who doesn't want to go too big, travel in luxury and still be able to fit in national & state parks, here is your coach. Mileage is still under 100K. There is just more than $50,000 worth of coach there! This is truly a steal.

We good size water leak coming from our bedroom sink fucet cold water handle.
What strange to me is that when you turn the left handle ( hot water ) on , than water start leaking from right handle ( cold water side )
I dont have original owners manula of thsi fucet and there is no name anywhere to be found?

Also, I wanted to take out the guts but so far only hadle and one white plastic part of the valve, looks like fancy cardridge system.

Is anyone here has same style fucet and ever developed leak.

Trying to figure out where I can get the part and if they are still stock them since is over 10 years old.

Thanks

When you go from a non-tag to a tag coach the tag switch has 3 positions not 2.

Recently I been helping my friend with water issues on his Liberty. His water Hester was leaking according to the Prevo shop in Dallas and his Headhunter pump was cycling So one new pump n water heater installed by us. Turns out the rusted out water heater was the temp blowoff valve. The pump still cycled. That turned out to be the reverse osmosis filters. That fixed the cycling, but low pressure except toilet. That turned out to be the double house filters. The toilet is direct. Now pressure is the best. What fun!

I just returned home from Newell, and spent all of last week there getting the 365 upgrade on both the steer and tag axles. I was the first to get the tags upgraded, like the newer coaches have. While I was there, the radiator had to be removed, and repaired for a leak at the seam gaskets. I am ordering a AirSafe Hitch for my coach tomorrow. If anyone has any reviews on them, let me know. I have had problems finding a 9 inch riser hitch that I felt safe with. Newell has the lowest to the ground hitch that is on the market. I saw some coaches, when I was there, that had steel rollers mounted under the hitch, which would help the dragging problem. I am slowly, but surely getting the bugs out of my coach, if I don't run low of funds before I finish. I must say, that it drives, and handles like a different machine now...

I know some of you use the M&G system and that is my first choice but it may not fit my subie. Do any of you use the Air Force one from smi?

This coach is listed on Ebay:

1972 Newell

There is a rear entrance, and separate room for the chauffeur, including bath.....how unique is this? Starting bid $9,000

On my 45' 2 slide I have Michelin xza2 315/80R22.5 LR-L and on the drive and tag axles BF Goodrich ST230 11R24.5 LR-H.
Not having had a chance to weight it yet what tire pressures should I run?
Thanks

Over the 13+ months we have been on the road I have only had to add air once, or twice when checking the coach tire pressures. Today I had to add 5 lbs psi to the right front....all the others were just where they were the last time I checked.....back in mid January. I've only had one tire fail, and that was right after we bought the coach....the cause was age. Some of you will recall the prior owner of my coach was sold tires off the rack that were 7+ years old according to the date codes, even though the bill of sale was less than a year old.

I know there are folks here that check air pressure every day they are on the road, and many have tire pressure monitors that give you continuous updates.

Okay, I probably should check the pressure more, but over the past 5 years I check the pressure less often, not more often. I probably check the oil level more often than tire pressure. I do check the temperature of each tire days we travel each time we stop at a Rest Area. I'm getting out to stretch my legs anyway, so this seems a good time to do this.....as long as I'm getting consistent temp readings on the tires I see no reason to check the air pressure too unless I'm getting a hot reading on a tire(s). I think checking the temperatures (and I check the trailer ones too) is a good middle ground to checking the pressure on 10 tires every day. Keep in mind that each day before we roll I do a visual inspection of the tires checking for obvious low pressure, damage, etc.

Now regarding the trailer, I have had to add air to individual tires every week, or so. When one of them is running hot in relation to the others I then check the pressure, and find it is a little low, so I add air on the spot using my bicycle floor pump.....it takes a while, but it is good upper body exercise, and handier than getting out the compressor.

I have three questions:

1) How often do you check your air pressure?
2) Have you still had tire failures in spite of regular air pressure checks, and tire monitoring systems?
3) Am I the only one who takes this laissez-faire (hands off) approach?

hi all,

i thought i would give the measurements of my 2002 for height.

my coach has the humped raised roof right behind the drivers seat.

at ride height, the 2002 newell is 12'3" to the top of the raised roof from the ground measured in the middle of the coach

the exhaust stack adds another 9" for a total height of 13' 0"

the current sat dome is 14" high riding on a 2" platform (12"+2")

the lower roof at the front of the coach is 11'8" high

the new dish is 10.5 inches high

eith the old dish is 12' 10" high new one is 13' 1.5" high

top of stack is 13' 0"

so with the new rfmogul direct tv dish, the overall height is 1 1/2" higher than before.
