Hi guys - markkitch - 01-31-2026

Hi all, 

Allow myself to introduce myself...

2003 Newell #676

Previous Wanderlodge owner, 1979 XV and a 1995 Widebody, long time WOG member. Still restoring a 1973 GMC motorhome (may take a while). About to sell our 2016 sprinter WB ERA. 

I'll have questions, like to contribute when possible. 

Thanks!

RE: Hi guys - Trainer - 01-31-2026

Welcome Mark. Be sure to run the Aqua Hot diesel burner for a few minutes once per month, or more, every month year round. Keeps fresh diesel on the nozzle allowing the exhaust to be clean and clear.

If you see vapor coming from the exhaust, service the burner as you can. If you see white or blue smoke, service it real soon. If you see black smoke, turn off and service now.

Enjoy your coach

Welcome to the fold Mark, seems like you have a very similar history as mine. I started with a MCI bus I was converting, then got the bird and now a Newell. 

The folks here are super helpful, ask questions. Do searches for lots of already covered topics, just like WOG. 
When searching here its good to know that when doing a search add a capital AND between your search terms, it helps with finding what you are looking for. Another tip I have used is actually just going outside of the forum to google and just use Newell or Newell Gurus and whatever you are searching for and it seems to do a bit better than the internal search engine for some reason. 

Check out we are having a gathering in May in Tennessee if you able to attend:
