Full Tour of My 1996 Newell Coach With EPIC Racing History! (Full Time RVer)

[@smacdiesel]

The coolest most iconic rv on KZbin. Take good care of it, restore it as much as possible.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man. That’s the plan!

[@operation6604]

Restore it?????? No leave ut original.....its freakin too nice to just replace with random parts....just my opinion 🤷

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

@@operation6604 Thats not what restoring means. That would be renovating. Restore means keep it original but serviceable and in good shape

[@johnathanromero3944]

I’ve been in your rv when it was owned by Al Unser jr, used to race go karts as a kid with his son.

[@Stapleton42]

Was it this exact one? Al jr had a new one about every year he had a deal with Newell.

Dave Mathews band got in trouble for dumping 800 lbs of sewage out of his bus on a bridge in Chicago. Worst part of it was a tour boat was under the bridge as they dumped it!!

Man that thing is sick. Really doesn’t look like mid 90’s coach. Imagine having that BMF back in the 90’s.

[@elcocoreyes]

that musical horn was like a novelty in the 90s for truckers. They sold those horns at every truckstop. I drove a truck 48 states from 93-2000.

My grandpa rip always pulled up in different RVs when I was a kid, it was always a great time doing the first walk through as a kid. Good stuff.

[@derekyoungquist8546]

You are the perfect owner for that rig. You have the balls to drive it anywhere, the skills to repair it or at least understand what’s going on so you don’t get screwed. The video of the roadside breakdown was epic.From the way you handled the first mechanic, the Facebook call out, and ultimately to find that diesel wizard was mighty impressive for someone your age. You appreciate quality and love the history behind the Newell mark. I’ve always considered a older Prevost or Newell but have chickened out and stayed with more current rigs. It will be fascinating following your journey.. ups and downs.Keep the content coming. I predict you’ll build a huge following with the rv content.Congrats on your bus and the effort you have put forth on the channel. Keep the pinkie elevated!

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man. I appreciate the time it took for you to type that out. I really value that kind of feedback!

[@gruponemesis]

thank you for introducing me to a Newell...youve converted me from Prevost as far as which is going to be my first coach

[@Stapleton42]

Newell >

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Wow, the granite floors, the leather wrapped everything & I LOVE the zebra print! Having fun watching your videos, thanks!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

If you need to get that old TV out, try rotating it in position - a lot are wider across the screen, then they are deep. Newell would love the coverage you're giving their products, showing the quality, and how they can appeal to a younger buyer, wouldn't be too surprised with all the sporting youtubers, if the secondhand market gets a bit of a boost. That decision to buy one without sliders,.. as someone whose had to deal with maintenance for broadcast trucks, you chose correctly :)

[@1STGeneral]

James get your toolbox 🧰

[@shanemichaels124]

Tiny homes have become a thing for younger buyers, why not tiny homes with an engine and wheels? They should absolutely market to them!

[@stevenbrown9566]

This is a beautiful motor home. It’s old but still beautifully crafted.

[@blkmustang007]

What a unit ! I cant imagine how pimpin that was for freakin 96.

[@BigKrisMorris]

Wow this is fully sick! I love the retro vibes it makes it even cooler. You could resto-mod it and replace the TV’s etc would be epic

[@dutchgunner8856]

Man I feel old! I wouldn’t have thought that 1996 would seem so dated! The unit is totally cool though.

[@thisismossop]

I came for the 1700 RWHP Escalade (because PFI Fam), I've stayed for Newell Coaches, who knew! I think 2020 has broken me... Mitch, if I hadn't started by watching the Newell factory tour, not sure I'd have had any interest in this. I think it's the engineering and functionality that gets me (Step cover, mind blown). Plus the neat features. Dude, if only you knew how cool those Star Trek doors are (to a bloke my age). I sat here wondering how to rig up an IR sensor to trigger that centre door! 🇬🇧

[@Stapleton42]

There’s a lot of crossover. All us car guys share a fascination for unique machines and cool technology when it comes to stuff with wheels 😂 I found myself equally surprised

[@shelleyking8450]

The zebra print rules! This Newell looks solid and well-cared for, but most top-line coaches are. Newells seem to be at another level for build quality, though. You got a great rig, take car of it an it will most likely outlast you.

[@gtgodbear6320]

I would totally live in that. An acre of land, power, and a well and I'd be set for life.

[@earlmarchbank7021]

Robby Gordon's Grandfather, Robert E. Gordon, was a close friend of our family for years. Years ago I used to sometimes go with him in his 1959 narrow nosed Peterbilt Model 351 to load and haul alfalfa hay from Lancaster California back to Artesia California. I loved that old truck with its Cummins NH 220 Diesel and five and three transmission set up. Fun old truck1

[@jovanicisneros898]

The universe is speaking to you man, I've watched a few of your videos and I've noticed you highlight how 42 follows you... manifest it. Keep up the good work. That coach is a portal to a legendary new racer in the making.

[@Stapleton42]

It is very strange how that keeps happening isn’t it…

[@drivewaybuiltfoxbodies5327]

Been here from the beginning and I was actually at the first real streetcar takeover in Bristol to see one of the first real shake down runs. But I for one have been enjoying the fact that you share the real life experience 9f what you are doing. I praise you for getting where you are based on what you feel is what is meant to be. Zebra print and 4 out of 5 is a huge win. So you are perfect with keeping it as is.

If you have open leds in the rv you can get cheap difuser strips that spread and soften the light. I have leds in my room i wish i wouldve gotten them when i set mine up

[@DLTJR1959]

The zebra cushions are the bomb. Like the time tunnel cushion too. Non slide units are bargains and have less to go wrong. Our bus has 3 slides and so far so good. In a 14 year old bus there is always something to attend to.

[@Stapleton42]

Yep and for one person it’s really all I need. Would I like one with slides in the future? Absolutely. But right now that’s just one less thing to worry about while I focus my energy on things that produce

[@d1specdrifter]

Bro,you lucked an upgrade for this coach than Earnhardt's. Kudos on the find yo. Badass video tour. I wish i could do the same.just drive around for races and park and not worry bout a hotel room.

[@gcrauwels941]

I used to repair yacht engines. There was a guy I worked with that always had to drop a rope while we were working on some customer's boat. I used to tell him 'test it before you use it' because once he did and it wouldn't flush (he left it like that eurgh), and the customer called our boss pretty upset, and made him go take care of it. After that, any time he had to, he'd go use the head, he'd test it first, and I'd surreptitiously flip the circuit breaker off while he pinched one off.😂 I'd hear him cursing in there, I did that several times before he caught on.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Man that thing sounds like a gateway to the famous racecar guy club lol. How much was this anyway?

Being someone who works in the entertainment industry and is always on Prevost entertainer coaches I don’t think people understand how well-built actual coaches are I see people spending well over 100 grand on Big motorhomes And it’s always crazy to me because they’re not built nearly as well as a Prevost or One of these

[@PatrickWagz]

*Proceeds to forcefully beat on numerous cabinets and counter-tops for about 7 minutes...* "Yea, the build-quality on this thing is pretty good!!" 🤣13:51 I'm not sure how often you close that bedroom door that hits the PVC elbow pipe that you put into the A/C vent.... just angle the rear PVC towards the front of the coach, and then angle the front PVC towards the rear of the coach. That way, they would still be angled and you wouldn't be need to worry about moving the rear PVC every time you wanted to close that door.

[@venvnco6259]

Every thing was built better back then. Like it with out slides less problems. There was also less to break back then. Like the inside better than the new one.

You will never fix all of your air leaks. You also can run a 12-volt wire with a fuse and toggle switch to your engine brakes. The "T" on your air line fitting for your seat meant someone had a air nozzle on there at one time to blow the dust off the gauges

I have a 2000 Monaco Dynasty with two slides and I can still do everything with both in. Upgrade your batteries and put some solar on it and you have to run generator in less it's hot like where you're at now.

[@Stapleton42]

I’ve considered solar. I can run the fridge on the batteries for at least 8 hours. So if I could get to 12 hours that’d be legit. I’m rarely away from it for more than 12 hours in a normal day

In the owners manual: "Dumping your holding tank" is talking about the fresh water not the waste water. You would have many reasons to dump your fresh water....like weather below 0 degrees or repairs that requires the tank to be empty and so on. Dumping waste water is dangerous and illegal even in the 90s.

[@Stapleton42]

Well this valve was connected to the waste tank not the fresh one no matter what the manual says 😂

[@punktalley]

@@Stapleton42does the fresh water tank go straight to the waste water side without having to run fresh water down the drain? My pull behind Coachman has a one way valve that goes straight to the waste side. I guess to rinse it out. But I set up one of my two tanks as a ''flushing tank''. I had 2 fresh and 1 waste also....I think thats strange. But I used the waste tank to collect only toilet waste. One of my fresh water tanks became the drain tank from showers and sinks. That is used for my supply tank to my toilet flushing water and the toilet flush drains to the OG waste tank. I had my ''drain tank'' set up so I could dump it without having the waste tank being used. Also I put in a regular size toilet and shower. The shower is a step down that gives me room above my head. Love the videos
