Q
1933 2/7/2006 1:17:24 PM 2/11/2006 Andre Ducote ducoteandre@aol.com Newell Parts support We just started looking at Newells. Currently have a 1999 Prevost Royale. One big question I have is about parts support. An example is, I am currently having to trouble shoot and fix an AquaHot problem and I am talking to and buying parts directly from the mfgr. Does Newell stock and sell parts for things like the Aquahot, generator and other more or less permantly installed items? What I am looking for is a 1 stop tech support / parts order. Of course I am talking about 4 to 8 year old coaches. Doing the work is not the issue, just getting good support to figuire out the problem and get the parts needed to fix it.
Thanks
Andre

1941 2/18/2006 5:45:26 PM 2/20/2006 Tuga Gaidry tugagaidry@bellsouth.net replacing appliances I replaced the Amana s/s refrigerator with a Kenmore 20 cu.ft. side by side refrigerator in my 1993 Newell which had a mid entry door. It went thru the door with
room to spare; the stairs were straight, not curved.
Presently, I have a 1999 Newell with a curved stair way;
I don't think that a refrigerator would pass thru the entry door because of the counter top which completes the curved section of the stairway. This is a case of the new not being as good as the old!

Too little ether and nothing happens, too much and more than you want happens. Thanks for the idea on the air filter. I hear a fair amount of noise from the generator that would be nice not to hear.

1954 2/26/2006 10:15:44 AM 2/27/2006 Michael Day mday@direcway.com Pre-92 Newell's For Sale Section Randy, with any coach that is 15 years old, the care that the previous owner(s) took with it will determine how many things will need repair/replacement. The appliances (refrigerator, ice maker), if original will be likely candidates for replacement. The engine, if cared for should be in good shape but will likely need a full servicing (oil, filters, etc). I had mine dyno tested to help determine the condition of the 8V92. The coaches are very solid. Mine is virtually rattle free (some of the my things are still rattling around).
Just take the normal precautions you would with buying anything that is 15-17 years old and assume that you will have some maintenance. If the coach appears in ratty condition, run, don't walk, away.

Q
1963 3/7/2006 3:52:04 PM 3/10/2006 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com Checking VIN # for Newell Diesel Pushers An internal Newell numbering system started in 1983 with coach 001. For several years, this internal number was not incorporated within the VIN. However, beginning of deliveries of the Series 2000 coaches in April 1989, the last three digits of the VIN corresponded with our internal number, which at that point was 214. Coach 816, scheduled for delivery around June 1, 2006, will actually be the 1200th Newell produced since Newell was founded in 1967. At this time, we will adjust our VIN sequence so that this coach will be identified as "1200," On all subsequent coaches, the last four digits of the VIN will indicate the unit number counting from the first Newell.

1969 3/14/2006 3:36:12 PM 3/14/2006 James Tuckness JSTuckit@aol.com 100 amp alternator What changes are necessary to install a 100 amp alternator on my 71 Newell with 391 Ford engine? The existing altermator is 45 amp. The 100 amp is off a 76 Ford school bus. I hope to use converter for 120 volt AC.

1970 3/15/2006 12:35:49 PM 3/18/2006 Gary Carter gcarter@usinternet.com Fuel Tank The main fuel tank measures out to 240 gallons. Any idea of how much of that is usable or how far off the bottom the pickup tube is (can recompute usable from this). I know it is over 180 gallons because I put that much in once.

1971 3/17/2006 6:18:22 AM 3/18/2006 Thomas St. Clair stctom@yahoo.com 60 series egr FMCA's December 2002 edition tested an early 2003 model 4 slide coach. According to the author, the test coach had egr valves, and it was built in late 2002. He went on to talk about how Newell had redesigned the cooling system to handle the added heat load required. The author may have misunderstood information about future plans. Anyway, what was the coach number of this coach, and what coach number did valid slides become standard? Did all 4 slide's have valid slides?

1972 3/18/2006 7:53:39 AM 3/18/2006 Michael Day mday@direcway.com Carrying Capacity 1990-1994 Since my original post, I have purchased a 1992 43'6" Newell and now have the ability to weigh it so I can answer my own question. The Certificate of Origin for this coach (#281) lists the 'Shipping Weight' as 37,000 pounds and a GVWR of 45,200 pounds. The actual weight with just under 3/4 tank of diesel, just under 1/2 tank of fresh water, 1/2 tank of waste water, 3/4 tank of propane and driver was 40,180 pounds. That would give an NCC (full of fuel but nothing else) of around 6,300 pounds and a CCC (full fuel, full propane, full fresh water, and 4 people) of about 3900 pounds (large water tanks really take a toll on CCC).
This is excellent carrying capacity, significantly greater than a Prevost conversion of the same era.

1979 3/25/2006 2:22:53 PM 3/25/2006 Tuga Gaidry tugagaidry@bellsouth.net Fuel Tank Gary, I have a 1999 45' w/262 gallon diesel tank. My red low fuel light comes on when I have used 180 gallons. I have 82 gallons left in the tank. On one trip the engine started sputtering when I would make a left turn and accelerate. After I filled up with 189 gallons it ran fine. Newell service told me that my suction tube my be mounted a little too high. It seems to me that 73 gallons of unuseable fuel is a little too much. Next time I'm in for service lowering the fuel suction line deeper into the tank is on the list. Good Luck.
