I think one of the best things you can do to have trouble-free miles in your Newell is to observe it: Start the engine, open the body panels & LOOK. Keep the engine clean so you can spot leaks early on. Park on a clean, dry surface and watch for liquids under your coach.

It's easy to run the nose-mounted gen-set out while running to observe it. But DON'T do what I did this summer during a heat wave. The gen-set was running hot & I ran it out to observe it. That stopped all cooling air through the radiator. Not good. It hit 237 on the interior gauge but it didn't shut down and it's been fine since. Close one.
