Forum: Replacement part information
- Replies (9)

Here is an item for owners of coaches with inverters that should probably be in your spare box. If it blows you will have no 12V house power or inverter. They come in different amperages, but the one on my coach is a 300 amp. The amperage rating for the fuse is marked on it. I do not have one on my starting batteries, but some Newells do. Here is one source, but I'm sure they are available many places.

Both Phil Horton & I had to replace the flexible hose in our kitchen faucets due to restriction. The Grohe part # is 46 092 000. Both Phil & I purchased replacements at Amazon, but they are available elsewhere. Before you buy any parts for your Grohe faucets, call Grohe---the faucets manufactured from 1997 to present have a lifetime warranty. Grohe customer service is very good and if you can convince them that a part failed to perform as designed they will send you the part free.

Watching Top Gear on History channel.
The guys built RV's on each of their cars, Porsche with a rocket, Buick with a building, and an expandable Civic!

Hi all, from what I have read it appears the height of the 1990 Newell is 13 ft 3 inches with roof AC....I have a buddy with a 70 ft Quonset but the sliding entrance doors height is 12 ft 8 inches.....is the height measure with hwh all the up or down and could it be adjusted to fit the clearance?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Bill

I recently had the water pump changed since it started leaking. Since then I drove it to Cedar Key, then over to Silver Springs. Now I'm in Summerdale, AL about 900 miles of driving since getting the water pump changed.
A couple days ago in Silver Springs I noticed the coolant overflow tank was almost empty so I added 1/2 gallon coolant. When I pulled into Summerdale the coolant tank was almost empty again. I just looked all around the engine and hoses, in all of my basement compartments, and anywhere else I thought I'd maybe find a gallon of green coolant that leaked out. Nothing!
Engine oil looks good and hasn't been growing, tranny fluid and power steering fluid both look clean.
I was thinking maybe I have an air bubble that is just now working out of the cooling system but just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything important.
I just added water to the overflow tank to see if it leaks out there while I'm sitting for a couple days.
Any ideas?

Howdy all NewellGurus forum members and friends.

A friend of mine, David Brady, decided to start his own Wanderlodge Forum. It is at www.wanderlodgegurus.com

He asked if I minded if he used a similar name to ours and I had no issue with it. (nice of you to ask David) It has a very similar look and feel to ours since he is using the same MyBB forum software. So though it looks very much like Newellgurus, it is entirely Davids. Hey, there is not too much you can do to make a simple forum look very different when you want to keep it simple and cheap!

David is an incredibly knowledgeable and nice fellow that I have gone to many times for advice on different coach related questions. There are many similar systems, engines and other things between our Newells and the Wanderlodges. I very nearly bought a Wanderlodge before I found my 90 Newell!

I am glad to have him as a friend.

Go have a look! If you want to join his forum, the process is about the same as it was to join ours. He will welcome you with open arms.

Have a great day!

Tom

Forum: Heating Systems
- No Replies

Hard to believe but after almost three years I am still finding new stuff on my Newell. I was working in the plumbing bay and found an electric heater, called a Heat Stream. It is about 6" wide by 5" high. It has two knobs--the left is to turn it on and set the fan on low or high. The right knob adjusts the thermostat. It is mounted on top of the fresh water tank against the front wall of the wet bay. I had never looked for an electric heater because I have an AquaHot Whisper heater mounted to the left and just above my 110V water pump. Any one else have this heater?
Very difficult to get good photo due to plumbing. In the second photo it is the grey box on top of the water tank. You'll also see the AH Whisper heat exchanger by the water pump.

After finding my own coach for sale in many different internet locations, such as RVFrenzy.com or just by searching 96 Newell King of Coaches for sale.
I just might be ready for REAL.
Many here know my coach.

I would like to let the Gurus price it!Idea

Of course I do have a bottom but I am willing to let the market dictate
selling price.

Any suggestions before I flood all the RV's for sale adds?
