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

Q
1936 2/10/2006 12:56:48 PM 2/11/2006 Jon Kabbe jonlt@charter.net 12.5 Kw Genset Many thanks to the Newell staff for forwarding me the wiring diagrams. I figured out the necessary electrical circuits to control Perkins "flame thrower" intake heating system. Then I faced to problem of getting at the electrical control box mounted on the aft end of the engine. Looked like access would be a knuckle buster so I considered alternatives. I've decided on a different tack. I'm going to tee off the intake pipe just below the air filter and run the new branch forward to the side of the radiator and cap it with a removeable plug. Then in cold weather if the Perkins doesn't start right away I'll get a propane torch out, remove the cap, have my wife hit the generator switch and point the propane flame down the tube. As soon as the engine starts to fire I'll replace the cap on the tube. I suspect this "primative" approach will work sufficiently to get started in the cold that I face. I'm also going to have the injectors overhauled. After all they are more than old enough to vote and look like they have rested where they are since they were born. The best to everyone at Newell.

1938 2/13/2006 5:13:38 PM 2/15/2006 Ray Hoffman hoffmanray@msn.com speedo operation Just had to replace my VDO speedo in a 1988 coach. Had to use one of the new electronic ones and works fine up to about 40 mph after that guage will bounce all over the place. Odometer and tripmeter are working fine. Could there be a problem with the pickup on the trasmission?

1939 2/17/2006 12:30:27 AM 2/18/2006 Bob nitzb1@hotmail.com speedo operation Had my 1988 Beaver Marquis VDO speed rebuilt several years ago for only $76.00````````````````````````
you might try this as a last resort

[Editor's note: Newell's of this vintage have a gear-driven electric sender at the transmission and an electric speedometer. Either component can cause a problem. We don't know if the Beaver speedo is similar or not.]

1940 2/17/2006 11:21:19 PM 2/18/2006 Dean 67gto@myvine.com 12.5 Kw Genset Couldn't you just give it a squirt of ether? I built an airbox out of steel that houses a flat pleated air filter (a very common GM size) and mounts on top of the valve cover. It covers the whole top of the engine and helps reduce noise into the coach. No more messy oil "breather".

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!

1942 2/21/2006 1:57:01 PM 2/22/2006 Jon Kabbe jonlt@charter.net 12.5 Kw Genset Dean: I have used ether but I would prefer not to so I was exploring other options. 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.

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.
