1883 1/4/2006 3:03:21 PM 1/5/2006 Michael Day mday@direcway.com Carrying Capacity 1990-1994 While each Newell has a different carrying capacity based on equipment, what was the general range for Net Carrying Capacity for 42' Newell's in the early 90s? I know many of the Prevost conversions during that period had NCC's of 1,500-2,000 pounds. We live in our coach and need at least 4,000-5,000 pounds NCC (the more the better).

Q
1884 1/5/2006 5:01:18 AM 1/5/2006 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com Carpet and Tile Estimates for work of this type must be considered on a case-by-case basis. There are a great many variables, such as the quality of carpet chosen, the floorplan of the coach, whether portions of the floor are tiled, etc. Newell installs very high quality Fabrica carpet, about $70/yd retail, in all new coaches. However, this quality level of carpet is not necessarily an appropriate choice for recarpeting a 15-year-old coach unless the owner wishes. In any case, the Newell Service Department would be happy to discuss issues of this type and provide information on costs as they relate to a particular coach and the owner's preferences and expectations. For further information, please call a Newell service advisor toll-free at 1-888-3NEWELL.

Q
1896 1/15/2006 4:47:49 PM 1/17/2006 Donnell Cameron dadcameron@earthlink.net 1978 Newell Overheat Thanks to Boyd Vanover for his response re: the overheating problem of our coach which we bought in Canada last summer. He did mention that certain models around that era had temp gauges which read slightly high [Editor's note: If the temp gauge reads higher when the headlights are on, add a dedicated ground wire from the temp gauge]. Also, if operating temperatures are excessively high, the engine would stop automatically if the shut down system is operating correctly.
Cummins West in Bakersfield repaired the problem by removing the rear mounted radiator and cleaning the exterior surfaces and reinstalling. Now, temperature never exceeds 190 degrees F whereas before it would exceed 250 going uphill at low speed.
Thanks for the tips.

1898 1/16/2006 6:00:12 AM 1/17/2006 Thomas St. Clair stctom@yahoo.com 60 series egr What coach number had EGR valves on the 60 Series Detroit (recognizing that some states, such as California, had more stringent exhaust standards earlier, and EGR valves may have been used earlier for those states)? I think it was around 2002 or so, but exactly which coach number did they start with (again, excluding the California models)? After some point (coach #) all the coaches had them.

Q
1899 1/16/2006 7:10:44 PM 1/17/2006 Ken & Pat Molloy ken@molloys.org Carrying Capacity 1990-1994 You can obtain this for yourself by weighing your coach twice. First weigh the coach with empty tanks and no consumables on board ("Dry" weight). Second, weigh it again with all fuel, water and propane tanks full ("Wet" weight). Third, subtract the "wet" weight from the Maximum GVW on the VIN placard. The difference will be how much you can carry. Fully loaded, you might want to weigh it one more time, but this time weigh the front and rear axles separately to make sure the load is properly distributed. A real "fussbudget" might even weigh it left side and right side to be sure of proper distribution. I always preferred about 500 to 1,000 pounds more on the left than on the right because of the crown of the road.
We once looked at the literature for a micro-minimotorhome built on a Toyota chassis. Its "dry" weight was only 50 pounds less than the GVW! Just filling the gasoline tank would overload it -- not to mention the weight of the passengers and the consumables normally carried on board!

1900 1/17/2006 7:27:22 AM 1/17/2006 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com Carrying Capacity 1990-1994 A common mistake on coaches of this era that reduces the coach's rated and actual carrying capacity is to replace the original equipment 11R24.5 Load Range H tires with the more commonly available Load Range G tires. The front axle in particular should never be downrated with Load Range G tires. In the real world, our experience with Bridgestone 11R24.5 Load Range H tires, properly inflated and maintained, and operated within the speed rating, has been exceptionally good, with coaches operating reliably even loaded up to 10 above the rated load capacity.

1901 1/17/2006 7:56:10 AM 1/17/2006 TechTalk Staff TechTalk@newellcoach.com 60 series egr The first EGR-equipped Newell was 688, a 2004 model, after which all Detroit Diesel powered Newells were equipped with EGR valves. The first nine 2004 Newells, 679 through 687, did not have EGR valves. None of the Caterpillar powered Newells have EGR valves, as Caterpillar uses a different technology with a catalytic converter that they refer to as ACERT.

1902 1/17/2006 3:27:39 PM 1/17/2006 Rich Farr toptin@cox.net air suspension diagram Right rear airbags stopped inflating on our 1979 Newell. Isolated problem to right rear leveling valve that feeds the bags. It also has an early model leveling system. Sure would like to have a diagram for air suspension and leveling system. It would save a lot of 'reverse engineering' underneath the coach. Anyone have any info they would share?
Thanks in advance.
