Couple of soft spots on the walls, which I'm assuming are from a leaking roof which I will need to reseal. My first order of business is going to be getting it running and checking the drive line and brakes so I can get it transported from Florida, where it is now to New Jersey where I will be working on it and restoring it. If anyone has any information or can direct me toward a running 555, that would be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to this restoration and can't wait to see this classic coach back on the road.

The owner says that one of the rear slides does not work due to seized roller bearings. He also says that Newell-Miami told him it would only cost $4,000 to repair the slide.
The step cover air solenoid isn't working. The problem here is labor as the co-pilot seat has to come out and other stuff with it.
The coach has a Sub 700 cabinet-style fridge-freezer. What is the capacity of these units? Our Monaco had 23.5 cu ft and it was perfect since we travel three-four months a year.
Guidance from you guys would be welcome.
Thanks!

PS: I know where one of the 16 or so Newmar London Aire's is and for sale under $200k. This group from roughly 2006-2007 was Newmar's attempt to make a Newell.]]> So, I'm wondering if anyone here has any information on this coach.

Lurked without logging in for a while and now I'm here.

Currently a Foretravel owner and have been looking for our next coach for a while. Always figured we'd end up with one more Foretravel and then move to a Prevost. Used Newell coaches keep popping up in front of me so - educate, debate, and decide if maybe a Newell fits into that mix?!

I have so many questions on the evolution of the Newell build, options, how & why some things exist, etc.

Don't be too tough on me - I do love my Foretravel!]]>

I have been following a lot of of you guys’s post and I am extremely happy that I found this website. I have some experience with the Diesel pusher as I solo traveled in a 2005 Alfa gold 39’ Diesel pusher for about 2 1/2 years it was nice, but this thing is like 1000 times better.

it’s in a little bit of rough shape as it has sat for about six years I believe the motor sounds beautiful, but pretty much nothing on it works lol maybe one of the ACs out of the three, but I think with you guys’s help in a little bit of money ((maybe a lot)) I can get her back on the road. She already has brand new tires.

I’m hoping to find someone who is mechanically inclined in the Texas area before I go long distance. I’d like to see what I can do by myself and then I would love to maybe go buy someone else that is like way more knowledgeable on all the systems to see if maybe they can help :-).

As you can see some of the pipes are busted :-(I’m guessing they forgot to winterize it when the father got sick Only thing I could get to work was one of the ACs two of them are still pretty warm, but I was using a 5000 W Ot Gen Generator because I couldn’t get the 17.5 on board Generator working, but I suspect it’s because the batteries are too low and it’s not enough fuel so I think once I put the new batteries in there and put some diesel in there, then I can start troubleshooting the generator.

What can we say but Tom and Darlene have been absolutely wonderful to work with and this is my first big coach. So I am a bit overwhelmed and trying to slowly get a grip on all the learning. We picked it up at their place and spent a couple of days going over things and getting all new tires. We drove it back to Tn where we reside in Nashville. We love the bus and have been on a few trips but I am using it now mostly to go to work in atlanta and then back to Nashville. Yes I have a retail store in Atlanta that has been there for 32 years.
That's all for now but wanted to say Hi!!! I am sending his license plate back to him! lol. its the guru plate

This is my personal coach though. My family and I are really enjoying it. We've placed one of the pneumatic slide seals and have two more to do. I have a list about a mile long with things I plan on doing to it. And at list about a half mile long that I've already done. Even though I have several RV techs, I really enjoy working on my own coach myself. So far I haven't let anybody else work on it yet. I'm currently repairing one of the toilets. The hopper is broken on it. I'm putting a water leak on the ventilator. Just had a compressor go out on one of my heat pumps. So now I'm thinking about upgrading it to a mini split. I attempted to temporarily patch my slide seals until I could replace them, without any success. Of course each time it was in a Walmart parking lot. I love my bus though. I had purchased my coach from one of our customers, Chris, if anybody knows him. Does anybody here have any history or information on my coach by chance? If so if you can reach out to me, that would be awesome. I'd love to hear anything that anybody knows or has seen my coach anywhere.

New to the group. I purchased coach #485 last weekend in Dallas Texas and drove her to her new home in Columbus Indiana. 900+ comfortable and uneventful miles.
We stopped for the night at Newell on along the route home and got a look at some of the newer coaches.
My dad owned a 1983 Newell 37’ many years ago but this is my first coach. The Newell Gurus site has already been invaluable.
The previous owner was meticulous and the coach needs nothing.
Planning to polish the aluminum wheels this weekend.
Here are some pictures of us parked at Newell on our first night of ownership and another tucked away inside her new home in Indiana.

I am very fortunate to have bought a well sorted coach like this for my first adventure.

I own an auto hauling trucking business and will be full-timing in the coach when I'm not on the road.
