Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks

Didn’t see where this was addressed directly, but could’ve missed it. Ordered new rear bags, passenger side for my 99. My old bags had large 1” (?) ports with a 40 degree or so angled fitting.  

As mentioned in other posts, Newell is shipping the newer bags with a much smaller port. They offer a fitting kit to step up to the larger fitting on the hoses. 

The drive axle bags are fed by a single hose that Ys to feed both bags. The Y is very short and made to comfortably fit that angled fitting. Not sure if this is common. 

With the new vertical fitting assortment, the hoses are too short. 

Wondering if anyone had a school solution already that didn’t take 10 adapters to make work?

Hello All! We recently purchased an 09 coach (1288) and are just starting our familiarity with systems, issues, etc. I know Newell can be a great resource, but I also know there are others out there that own Newells that are proud of their units and like talking to other owners. I'm hoping to connect with someone who either owns a coach similar to our year range, or has worked on our year range intimately enough to know the ins and outs. As common with a new purchase, we have already built up a laundry list of items that need addressing. And, while I do enjoy a good troubleshooting challenge, it sure makes a lot of sense to have more knowledge on the subject. I am mechanically inclined and like working on my own stuff, so I'm hoping to find someone similar who has maintained their coach themselves and knows the ins and outs. Alternatively, I would love the chat with owners who maybe don't do their own mechanical work but understand the systems in their entirety. There's a lot of info on these forums, so I'm hopeful I can come back here when troubleshooting something specific, but I suppose I'm just looking to talk with some people (on the phone, if possible) that can just get me up to speed on the systems so when a problem does arrive I have a better high-level understanding on the overall systems.

Long-term I hope to meet some of you as we (my wife and 9 month old daughter!) are out traveling across the country, but in the meantime this is my attempt to start making connections!

My air dryer is leaking out of this port.  
1.  Is this part on here serviceable if so what is it called??
2.  What is the model of the dryer??  I’ve read maybe wabco1200??
3.  The aux compressor will kick on and off and the leak isn’t horrible but it is audible.  You think it’s ok to take my shakedown trip this weekend??

Started up fine, decided not to hook up toad in exit lane of RV park. drove a mile away to empty restaurant parking lot to hook up. Turned off engine. after hooking up, turned key on and a few clicks and everything went out. Batteries fine, fuse on battery negative fine. No 12 volts on the main terminal in the back. Disconnect switch in the on position. Hard time getting 12v at starter connection so I took apart and cleaned cable ends. still no power. tested continuity across disconnect switch and results were not consistent. took terminals off and found black crust. Cleaned and put back and issue resolved-  corroded cables on cutoff switch which is a ground connection.

So I was perusing my Xantrex inverter manual and noticed that it has the ability to set the AC output voltage from 108v all the way up to 125v. The question is, when inverting from a nominal 12V battery source is there any benefit to selecting from those AC output voltages? 110v (the older standard) vs. 120V (the new math) Most appliuances should work either way, but is there any benefit one over the other from the battery and inverter standpoint.


Things that make me go ...Hmmmmm.

Greetings. It has been a long time since I have posted. Life gets in the way. But now, I have a question. We have a 1995 coach with a Detroit Series 60 engine. We need a CAC. Does anyone have an older Newell that they part out?
Any ideas?

Hello all! 

I just thought I would post this to see if anyone has a person they could suggest to inspect a Newell Coach I am looking at. 

Checking local first and if that doesn't work will move to flying one in. 


This forum is such a great resource of information! 

Thanks in advance for any help you cound give!

Does my coach have the SB series brakes on it or the SN series brakes??

I have a front caliper hanging up, i'm taking it to my local truck repair place but I want to give them as much info as I can.  Part numbers would be great

I'm going to have them service the front and tag.

Coach 1997 #454
