This is one great price on a 2005 with only 28,000 miles. It is a handicap available coach which has a door lift that disappears when not in use. Down side is probably the twin adjustable beds, but it is a rear bath with the larger shower. Also has a steerable tag and I love the overall look and features of the 2005 models.

If any one is looking for an air impact wrench that can handle the Newell's lug nuts, here is one. The Aircat 1000-TH. I have an older model, that is similar to this one, and it is one powerful wrench for a fairly reasonable price. There are several different models in a line of powerful air impacts. I have used mine for a few years and it works great. I have not tried it on the coach's air supply, but the specs say it only needs 90psi to 120psi. User reviews are mostly very positive. If you use "Google" they are available at many different places. I posted Amazon so you could see the specs & reviews.

Since we have a lot of new members coming on board I think it would be appropriate to have a section where new members could introduce themselves and their coaches. The "Howdy and Welcome to Newell Gurus" kind of goes unnoticed. Maybe add a section there titled "Introduce yourself".

Just a suggestion.............................

I got my o-rings from McMaster-Carr. Each valve takes two o-rings--a 9452K59 and a 9452K115. Put the numbers in the search box and it will give you each o-ring's specs.

Just finished hooking up the Sewer Solution and dumping.
Had to use 20' of hose and 8' of 1" pvc where I'm parked at the civic center. Once it started running I was able to shut off the water jet. Had to turn it on a few more times for a minute or so to get the flow going again. But it worked great, easy to clean up.
If you have the Thetford waste valve like mine you will need to get the Valterra universal adapter.

In having a conversation with one of my Newell friends I was reminded that identifying the air bag numbers on our coaches was one of my winter jobs. Since his coach is one number from mine, we are going to make what may be a dangerous assumption that our air bags are the same. Apparently the only way to identify the air bags is to remove them as the number is on the top and/or bottom. If any one has replaced the air bags on a 1999, IFS coach, you could save me some work. While my air bags are not cracked and look pretty good I would like to know the Firestone number before I need it.

I am starting with the right front. It appears that there are two bolts on the bottom mounting plate and three bolts on the top mounting plate. There is also an air line on top. It appears unbolting the mounting bolts, unscrewing the air line and prying down the extended air bag will allow removal. Is there any one who can confirm or straighten me out on removing a front air bag?
