Since we started fulltiming my wife and I are thinking of moving up to a 45' newer Newell.
Not really looking for slides (unless a really great deal in nice shape comes up).
Got our eye on a couple already so want to post ours here before we put it at a consignment lot.
Our Newell is 39' in good shape, runs great, front tires new in 2009, rear tires new last year with all rear studs changed. Heated cork floor in bath. VMSPC with netbook. 32" Vizio in front, rear has 15" flat screen. In-motion KVH satelite dish. New recliner. 240watts of solar panels on roof. Progressive surge protector installed last year. New baseboard heaters in bedroom. All 3 basement air conditioners are upgraded to new circuit boards & digital thermostats. Batteries are about 5 years old and have Pulsetech conditioners installed. New Dometic refrigerator installed in 2011.
I do have oil analysis records.
PM me if you are interested and we'll discuss price.
Thanks

For those that have roof airs, this is a friendly maintenance reminder. There is a washable filter behind the interior a/c grills that need to be cleaned occasionally. If you don't have the ducted air with the hidden grills then the maintenance is very simple and straight forward. Some dis assembly of the ceiling is required if you have the ducted air with the hidden grills. Each a/c unit will have a grill cover that must be removed. On my coach the two bedroom a/c grill covers have two screws on each side & drop straight down. In the salon both a/c grill covers have one screw on one side and slide off away from the screw point. I was able to remove and replace all the a/c grill covers with the slides in.

Center bath, rear walk-in closet, basement airs, and only 95,000 miles. Nice looking paint job.

Pulled into the French Quarter RV Resort today. Figured since we're in the city I'd just put up the antenna for local channels. It's always worked great before. Well now I'm not getting any signal. Guess I'll have to climb up on top and check out the connections. Could be from all of the rain lately.
Any other ideas?

We are in Mesa, AZ and went to see Leo ( Tom's mechanic )
Our Radiator started to develop leak and we did not have time to wait 6 weeks to get one from Atlas ( Corpus Cristi TX ) so we are in Mesa, AZ and hooked up with Tom. M.

They pulled out our radiator and cooling charger and send it to radiator service place to be rebuild. After some 6 hrs of hard work Jon & Leo pulled out radiator and charger, they are sure sitting in very tight place!

The way Newell placed radiator and charger on the far left side is very hard to get both part out! Jon said : if you ever had to do any work on your turbo charger you would need to remove the radiator and charger, that alone is like 12 -18hrs job depend who is doing work!

We been here camping in their shop for 4 days now ! Leo is very kind and give us keys to the gate and we can go out anytime we need.

Also, our muffler was cracked up badly and Jon was able to do amazing job and put the whole muffler together and looks like new!!

So, our radiator and charger just arrived late tonight and they should put all back together in day.

Lookig forward to hit the road again!

I have a set of old (pre-99) Kwikee steps with a broken gear but the step frame, orange control box, motor and other parts are good.
Free to a good home!

I'm putting together the new & improved generation II gas spring tool to be given away in a free drawing at Spearfish. We hope to see you all there!

What about a section for parts that someone has to either sell or give away?

These are the air brakes on the front of my 1999 Newell. I know Tom has the same brakes on his 2002. Bendix has become part of the Knorr-Bremse corporate family so you'll see references to Bendix in the service data as their product line has merged. This pdf covers an overview, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, inspections & maintenance procedures.
