Hi guys,
I have purchased a 1986 Newell. I recently sold my Wanderlodge so I am somewhat familar, but not with Newells specifically. I am cursed with the urge to "save" these things.
The coach is five hours away which complicates things some what.
The problem as of now is that:
(1) the coach doesn't build air pressure, it started to build pressure but then nothing,
also, and possibly related,
(2) the alternator does not charge.
I am hoping that this is just a thrown belt/belts I didn't have time to check but I did smell burnt rubber and they would be older as the coach has sat for a few years
(3) The generator started and then after about 5 minutes it died. The generator gauge cluster shows that the fuel is propane (is this possible?) and the propane is empty.
There doesn't seem to be any slide catch by the gen slide in/out valve, instead there is just a clip pin in the bumper (is this normal or am I missing something) is there anywhere else I should be looking for the slide catch?
