there is a piece of the aluminum skin just above the middle of my front salon slide that has come loose.  at some point the slide had caught on it.  it is a piece about 10 inches long.  

i do not want to rivet it.  i can push it in easily without any memory that would make it look like it is rippled.  

i can put my scissors lift up to it and use a piece of wood to push it flat once i get some adhesive in it.  i know i will need to cover the seal and clean it up inside.

so....the question is what adhesive to use to hold it.  i talked to newell and they said they use a 2 part expxy but didnt know what kind.  

has anyone done it and have a great expoxy or adhesive to recommend?

Sent a request to Newell parts to see if they had the bushing for my coach and luckily they did. They sent them out asap. 

Here are the vitals:
Newell part #705722 $91.66 each
Roadmaster part number #205207-10 (on the box they came in from Newell)

Quick search for these on the net comes back with very little info, so they may be difficult to get. Newell said they had 4 in stock when I purchased them and I bought all 4. I am going to make a mold of one of them so I can potentially make the bushings if need be. 

   

   

   

Forgot to add this I found on the bushings when searching the Roadmaster part #

I think I came across the reason the moveable flush windows lose their seal and fog.  Auto Glass Boss resealed all of my glass.  A year later I had them clean up some sealant that had come out.  It was mentioned that it looked like the windows that open were beginning to do the same thing.  After some discussion I realized there are two problems.  First, the sealant Hehr uses is inferior which affects the fixed as well as the moveable (opening) dual pane glass.  Second is the long term problem even after it is repaired with a quality sealant.  The foam that seals the moveable panels get pushed in and loses its resiliency.  Then you have to really crank down to tighten the windows so they don't flap around while driving.  That causes the outer glass pane to contact the rubber bushings and push the outer pane out from the inner pane thus pushing it away from the sealant.  See my photo.

   

Does anybody have a working Dometic Duo Therm thermostat? One of mine went bad. Part number 3105356.004

Doesn't matter if it has heat option or not, my original heat system doesn't work and I don't plan to use it.

I would gladly replace the thermostat with a newer programmable one if there is a way to use one with the existing Dometic wiring but I have not found any cases of that being done with the search function.

Hi to everyone,

We met the last days several owners of Newell coaches and fall in love with them. Right now we own a Montana 3120RL 5th wheel with a RAM Pickup. The main reason why we consider to buy a Coach is our amount of travel and the luxury to travel with a coach. I'm a retired mechanical and electronic engineer.

Any good hints about available coaches are welcome. We are not in a hurry and can wait till the right one becomes available.

Feel free to contact me with any question you have. Till today I was able to help everybody and repair my own 5th wheel all the time including some unusual modifications.

Being on the road most of the time answer might take a while, please be patience

I have a 2008 Newell coach #1230. What should the oil level read and what type of oil do you use for your generator? Going to be running it for 5 - 6 days and I want to make sure I don’t blow it up lol.
Thank you,

I wanted to take the coach out for a ride today but the rear brake needle shows 0. Dryer pops off as usual. Brake release will release when pushed but obviously rear wheels are locked. What is the next area to check? Check valve on rear tank? If so, I can't get to it without moving the coach forwards as it is parked over dirt. So frustrating. This has been sitting for a couple of months.

Full alignment/balance shop near Beaumont/Houston TX? Got new tires all around and the handling is bad… all over the road and very jiggly. I want a shop that can put the whole rig on the rack and align and let me know what parts I need to calm it down… I may have to drive to the mother ship…

I accidentally drilled a hole in a power steering line that was under the floor and in the path of a condensate drain. The hole did not go through entirely but through the first braided layer. I called a few places but they only service construction equipment. I don't think Leo wants to deal with it as I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling. Don't blame him. Not sure what or where I could possibly go with this. Any ideas? Ironically I used a new sharp bit and didn't even feel it go through the 1/4" chassis steel.

Last weekend took the Newell out for the first time this season up here in Alaska. Went up to a place called Hatchers Pass overlooking the Matanuska Valley with no cell service. Everything functioned great till we attempted to depart Sunday afternoon. When we attempted to place the rig into travel mode to pull in the slides the hwh refused. After more then a few attempts I manually leveled the coach to ride height then switched the slide controls on to deflate the slides....nothing. Checked the fuses in front of the passenger seat, all looked good- opened up the hwh brain box under the driver's seat all fuses checked good. Went back into the coach and wiggled all the spade connections in front of the passenger seat, said a quick prayer then checked the air pressure switch on the parking brake under the dash - magically I noticed the orange light on the slide controls were illuminated. I quickly pulled in the slides and drove down the mountain into the safety of my shop. Once parked the issue persisted. I pulled the air pressure switch from the pack in the rear and the one in the front attempting to force the hwh into travel mode with no avail. I checked the boards in the brian box again looking for bad connections, corrosion or any other obvious issues- nothing. I jumped the air pressure switch for the parking brake again with no results. Then I remembered my old Country Coach once refused to go into travel mode requiring me to manually level it until I discovered a lose wire connection on the ignition. I checked the ignition wiring- sure enough i had a lose wire... reseated the wire and the coach immediately went into travel mode and the hwh slide controls came to life. Hopefully this will help someone in the future!
