Please let me know where the fuse to the vacuum. Newell 452, 1997

Happy to join. I'm from the mid Michigan area and travel with my wife Ashleigh, our son Cole (9), daughter Camryn (7), and Winston our Golden Retriever.  Often times my mother also travels with us.

I'm here to gather information and avoid any mistakes when purchasing a mid 90s Newell so that it will be ready for our planned summer trip out west.

At present, I own a Wanderlodge, two fifth wheels, and a travel trailer that I will have to part with before the Newell purchase; otherwise, my wife might insist on me sleeping in one of them indefinitely!

I’ll be exploring around and hope to post some questions after I’ve gained more knowledge and get serious about a particular coach to purchase.

Thanks in advance,
Ben Berry

   
   

Saw an interesting post from the folks at PDI today on social media that I thought might be interesting here…

‼️ Series 60 Owners ‼️Have you checked for cracks in your OEM manifold??They are notorious for cracking behind the turbo flange. Our Big Boss manifold eliminates issues with cracking & leaking while providing you with lower exhaust gas temperatures & an increase in MPG. ??‍?

Does anyone know if there was a 21,000 lb or greater hitch available for the P2000i era coaches? I'm looking upgrade from a Freightliner truck conversion to a nicer, more refined coach but still need the ability to pull my stacker trailer.

We are planning our 2024 travels. I'm wondering if any one is considering organizing a No-Rally Rally? I would like to include in our travel plans if possible...

Hello all 
I have a problem with my gm column 
I just bought a newell #274, i live in France, the Last owner "worked" on it...i found some interior parts of the column inside the dashboard box...i think its gm 7829708...i am not sure .i find a New one or a rebuilt...                

I'm helping a new friend here in the park with his Wonderlodge it had few air leaks and a bad PPV valve he is a gear head so he's doing all the work I'm finding with my Biddle leak detector and handing him tools. After removing the PPV valve and the manifolds that tie all the brakes and supply together we dissected the PPV valve we found a bad diaphragm, found a new one in a truck parts place for $25 and changed out the diaphragm and not the whole valve. My point of this whole thing is we could have saved many hours of removing the manifold when all we had to do is remove 4 screws clean the body and put in the new diaphragm and be done with it saving 3 hours of labor. Having never been under a Wonderlodge I found a large portion of there air plumbing is soft copper which is pretty nice.

I thought I conquered all loose trims before I took the coach in for paint. Last week I did a walk around and noticed the third bay door lower trim on the left side was hanging. The VHB adhesive had dried up and come loose. One tiny rivet kept it from laying on the floor. I removed the trim and applied copious amounts of 3M adhesive remover while using a long handled single edge razor to scrape off the tape. Thankfully it was only on the trim side. The heat gun didn't work so well and I didn't want to cook the new paint. Either way, I did get it clean and used a body shop paint cleaner to make sure there was no residue. From there I used a small sanding block and brightened up the aluminum trim and bay door while again, applying cleaner. New 3M VHB tape and it went on solidly. Instead of the rivets, I put in #8 stainless steel screws that were cut down to fit. Much better securement since the rivet doesn't really expand in the well type hole of the trim piece. All in all, I had to replace the adhesive on three bay door trims. The rest of the coach is solid for now.

I was bored last weekend and decided to paint the frame. Took a bit of masking and reaching around things but overall, it came out quite nice. I still have the driveshaft to do along with drums and other minor bits. This will help with cleanup when washing. Aside from that, I hated looking at brown rust spots. I do enjoy tinkering with this thing. It was nice to take it out today to the Detroit dealer. This just sails so comfortably along.

I'm in the Phoenix area needing a windshield tech willing to work with me to set the windows. 

I think I'll need to cut to coach opening to account for larger windows, thicker gaskets, shrinking openings, all or none. But I won't know forsure until the windows get pulled items measured the cut made and the windows reinstalled. 



Anyone know of anyone near me that can do this work?
