howdy,

i have a large number of extra wires that are in the bundle that goes to the control panel for the lights and where the alarm/clock/thermostat is on the bedroom slide. i want to use some of them for dc power with my new nightstands and bed lift.

but, i have not been able to find out where they go to. i have looked in the dc fuse panel in the rear bath closet and didnt find any spares in there.

anyone have any idea where they go so i can find and use them??

thanks

tom

Thanks to Steve and Suzy for giving Jo Ann and me a tour of their beautiful coach this afternoon. Although their coach is probably 10 years newer than what we could buy, much of what we saw and heard would still be applicable to a Classic WB.

On the way home I did think of some additional questions, and if I don't find the answers already on the forum I'll ask.

Thanks again!

This fan just started running backward lately. There is only 1 hot lead going to the fan +12.5v. The second wire from the fan goes directly to ground. I replaced the switch with a smaller unit with an LED indicator light. I tried bypassing the switch, no difference!! I am confused & frustrated. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

New coach on the market in LA.

A part of Newell ownership that is often overlooked is the Newell family. Suzy & I had a wonderful dinner with Jimmy & Brenda(guru member Ozarkguy) last night at one of Eureka Springs, AR finest. Always fun to get together & talk "Newells". David Linninger is coming by the farm today for more "Newell" talk(guru member Kb0zke). I know I'm preaching to the choir to most here, but for those that are trying to decide on a Newell, owning a Newell is great, but the Newell friendships are priceless!

hi all,

someone just asked me if any of the newells had adjustable pedals for the driver.

the person is a little less that 5' tall and wanted to know if the coach was driveable with someone that height.

being over 6'2" and the size of a sasquatch, it is hard for me to know if the seat in my 02 can be adjusted enough.

do any newells have the adjustable brake pedal? seems like the throttle would be easy to permanently adjust by mounting it farther back and up if needed.

is there anyone that is around 5' that is driving a newell and if so, is it comfortable?

any wisdom here?

hi all,

my 90 has the batwing hand crank antenna and works for hd OTA just great. my 2002 has a mount for it, but nothing there but the coax.

and no control panel in the front tv cabinet.

i was looking at several different antennas, at first mostly the stationary small ufo looking ones.

i know that if the 02 had an OTA antenna it likely would be the winegard ma-1000 motorized lift one. is that right? that is discontinued by winegard and people are asking lofty amounts for it.

i do not want to put a hand crank one in.

what are you guys using and with what success?

i currently have an cheap amplified one installed behind the front tv and it works, but but needs to be outside.

thoughts?

tom

I found an easy way to apply anti-sieze to the generator exhaust. I located a paint brush with about a 10" handle and the brush head at an angle of 35 degrees. Bolted it to a 1" square aluminum about 5' long, and it was very easy to apply the lubricant all around the exhaust pipe.

Today we pulled to Indio, CA after stying for 2 months near Ojai, CA ousited of Ventura.

We pulled to thsi amazing resort called Motorcoach Country Club in Indio, we are stying only 4 nights and heading down to Tucson, AZ for 2 rest of teh winter.

After setting in and driving our coach to our spot , we saw 6 Newells on teh way to our spot! so far most ever!

later we took our two dogs for walk around thsi country club resort and counted some 34 Newells and that is not all! We only walked outside loop of the resort.

Newell presitend and owner owns two lots here and everyone knows hime well!

Most coaches we saw here are:

Country Coach ( many high end models )
Newell mostly 2010 few 2012' and few 2000-2006
Provost
Marathon
Essex by Newmar
Monaco
Payethon

The most funny thing we noticed that many owners have their golf carts made replicas of well knows cars, Mustangs, Fiat, Model, Cadillac T, Jeep and more very clever idea, they are minis of real thing!

Will walk more next day and see hwo many more Newells we can find it!
Another funny thing was how many wre from Montana , haha! few of them bend few rules here!

I got a great Xmas present from my wife and 2 daughters: a Dyson DC44 cordless vacuum for the Newell.

It is awesome! It only weighs 5 pounds and has a docking station so it is charging while it is stowed away.

I know it's not cool to get excited about vacuum cleaners but this thing is really a great little vacuum. Most cordless vacuums are small and don't have a rotating brush at the head; this one does! And it has good suction power.

Google Dyson vacuums and click on the DC 44 Animal Cordless vacuum.
