Mark martin is the definition of an ambassador of motorsports .. like bob glidden . In my opinion .. there's few drivers on that level of humble sportsmanship ..

Fill ‘Er From Both Sides should be your next shirt.

Get a fumoto drain off Amazon and then you can attach a hose to drain the oil.

Can’t thank you enough on how you pointed out everything that is involved in owning a motor coach. It opened my eyes and made me change my mind about buying a used, or in any case, a new coach. I personally couldn’t do all the repairs and maintenance needed to keep the coach safe and reliable to be bounding down the freeways and roads of America. I will stick to staying at nice hotels with all the amenities that they offer. Because after look at it and looking at all the pros and cons it is more cost effective to stay away from a coach purchase. All of you that own a coach, might disagree, but Mitch, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated you opening my eyes and mind to all the facts associated with this lifestyle! THANK YOU! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

A little late watching this but the Fumoto valve on the genny is a must. They're like 30 bucks and you can attach a hose a drain it right into an empty oil jug...or a 99 cent funnel from Walmart would work too.

Always good to be able to fill it from either side Love the sauce wagon it's timeless and the history of ownership is cool too keep making history .thanx for the vids May be I'll be lucky enough to own a Newell someday

Found your channel by accident Now I am hooked. Haha. The tour of the Blue Print Factory was awesome. Got my shirt today The design was awesome well. Thanks for the personal note. Really cool move I know you busy. Thanks again and keep living the dream.

If you're changing your genset oil often put a Fumoto valve on it. drain right into a jug with a hose and never spill again!

Okay here we go bro that is a sick machine you got people only wish they can own something that badass floating me oh my God what man you are just an awesome dude and I thank you so much you respond okay every comment you are the one and only real KZfaqr out there I thank you

Just found your channel from the 16 yr old drag racing video, and thought this video was also interesting. And you're right at 18:00, I have no knowledge about RVs and that thing looks new to me, so I was surprised by the title that it's a 90s RV

Time to order some hoodies for us folks in the cold snowy north country. I would def purchase two or three since I wear hoodies year round. Cheers!

loving all the videos this week keep them coming

Keep up the great content man I'm just here for the algorithm!

Mark Martin! I feel your pain with the RV we have a 2001 not a Newell RV the drivetrain is trouble free but the rest is a challenge to keep going our worst thing we hate is we hate blowouts and waiting on roadside service "they usually state you are driving to fast" so we figured out how to DIY a tire change on the side of the road saves about $800 and you are no longer sleepy from the long ride.

Man if I wasn't married I swear I'd be doing it your way! Living in a rv or trailer in or outside of a garage! Working on my vehicals everyday and every hour I feel like working 💪

Regarding the generator oil change, it reminds me of a 4wd 88-98 Chevy truck. The filter is directly above the front driveshaft. I would take a long length of paper towels, fold over a few times, then put it over the driveshaft. You might try that with the rod causing you issues.

Just so ya know, I don’t watch cause I’m looking for a coach. I watch cause I like hanging out with ya. All your stuff is Awsome. ❤️ that shiny new big block too!

lol. not even 10 seconds in "dopping turds in a parking lot that's not really cool" and I'm laughing my ass off.

One of my favorite features of the Newell is having it parked in the yard a couple days a year. 🤘🤘🤘

leaving a comment to help the channel keep it up brother love the videos

Great vid bud and have a great night godbless and stay safe

Firefighter here. Series 60 is the best Diesel engine I’ve ever used.

I don't have a Newell, but i have a '93 Pace Arrow and you were right about how they use parts from other vehicles. My headlights are also from a Ford F-Series Pickup and my taillights are from a '90's Mustang (I recognized them off the bat because I had a 1990 GT) The one issue I have and that many other people are grappling with is that mechanical parts, in my case early 90's GM P 30 Chassis Motorhomes, are no longer manufactured new, although GM is still in business. The quality remanufacturing of these parts have gone down as well. More than likely because of COVID. My brake booster had to be replaced three times because of poor quality work. My mechanic told me similar horror stories where he went through 5 alternators for a customer and the fuel injection system on his pickup had to be replaced several times. The new reality is, if something breaks, it's a crap shoot obtaining quality remanufactured parts. At least Newell is on the ball when it comes to their coaches.

Id pull that generator oil pan off and weld a new drain plug in. Thats annoying as hell.

Love the sound of that Detroit 69. 😆

Talking about your air leaks reminds me of my old bagged s10, just finally excepted the leaks as normal operation lol

I would love to watch you repair some of the items on your list. You have everything including your talent to fully repair all that is wrong. I know you said "fix till your happy" But as you know the harder the task the better the reward. Emptying the holding tank while stationary can be very simple with a macerator & pump, sending it directly into a portable tank in the back of a pick up and then a quick trip to a dumping station. Just a thought.

No Doubt, That is the quintessential Diesel rumble. And, Yes, it is a Damn fine looking vehicle, exterior & interior.

Quality content as always

it really is classy looking a matching enclosed would look dope

That series 60 is a hotrod if you want it to be. Call Pittsburgh Power...they know diesels better than anyone.

Thirding get a Fumoto drain plug if you can. Put one on my car and never looked back, oil changes are so clean and never have to mess with a crush washer.

The build quality of the 90's era coaches is amazing. It's kinda crazy how some of the coach/rv manufacturers today crank out units by the hundreds with such poor quality.

Quick detail and the wd wipes and that engine bay will be on point

Build a special funnel for your generator oil changes.. when you have your fuel caps on both sides you can use the satellite pump at truck stops Fuel up both sides at the same time.

Tip for your drain plug.. get a 45* brass spicket with a valve to replace the plug and a hose to use that will reach your drain pan 😉 no mess ever.

My family has owned Newell’s for years, we’ve also owned Blue Bird Wanderlodges, but we preferred both over Prevost conversions. Newell is amazing to work with. Brian Pitts goes out of his way for anyone!

Mitchell, how about a video getting that pneumatic commode fixed (lots of toilet humor and puns) and then do a back road purge-while-driving (freshwater for test).

Coach videos more interesting than others, thanks...

With regard to the tag axle rubbing.... fabricate some bump stops.

A million style points for the go faster stripes.

Need to get a grinder for the pump outs with a garden hose. the SewerFlo Quick Release RV Macerator Pump - 12V, 12GPM Connect the air supply from the shop for air to the coach.

10:42 It seems that maybe you could find something to fit between the drain plug and the rod to avoid the mess. But it also wasn't very clear how much space was between those two things. The video make it seem like it could be 6 inches or 3 inches. Food for thought, maybe you just need to find a very specific oil receptacle for your generator oil changes.

If ya wanna be cheap about it get one of those funnels with the handle on the side cut off the bottom half of the handle so your left with a hook and there ya got hook the funnel on the track and drain her out! The one I have I got from autozone it holds a quart has a screen in the bottom turns open and shut so you can measure with the funnel and it has a hose on the bottom it's like 8bucks

hey mate for your generator oil drain. modify a metal ball vale that screws in to wear the filler plug goes put a metal pipe on bottom of the vale and route around the rod. to make it easier to change

Yes I love the RV content!!!!!

Detroit starters do have that special "A Taste of things to come..." kinda sound to em!

Put an "A.N." fitting on the generator with a ball valve and some fuel line to have a short remote drain plug and avoid the mess on your shaft

Put you a bump-stop somewhere to limit the tag axle from bottoming out...

Don't forget to run the generator for a bit just like the engine. Do you have problems with diesel the way we do with gas if you don't run it regularly? Cool vid Stapleton

18:05 when i look at it, it just makes me want to look at so i just look at it and it looks like its worth looking at

Old as it may be, it's still pretty cool and filled with racing history. That black vinyl eyebrow turned out nice. The art deco light fixtures are sweet. What are the little globes towards the bottom of them? Seriously, I'm really surprised you haven't replaced that drain plug with a 90 degree fitting and quick valve.

Send that RV my way. I want an old RV like this.

Mitch, may I make a suggestion? Why don’t you bend a piece of metal into a v shape that would sit on top of the rod that pushes the generator out so when you change the oil it won’t splash all over everything? I know how much you love to work with metal and figuring out the best ways to build things. Or have you thought about it and decided it was more hassle than it’s worth? You could hang it on the wall of the generator enclosure so it would be right there at hand when you needed it, and so you didn’t have to wrap it up and store it somewhere in your coach. Again, just a suggestion. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

Simple funnel will fix your oil change problem. Get a large funnel, release the screw and funnel the oil into an oil pan. You could bungie that funnel to that rod. But yeah agreed dumb spot for the rod. They could’ve simply put it off to one side a bit more or put 2 in and left a gap for oil changes..

" Came free with a pot of hot dog water" Cant stop LMFAO

The TOILET should have been NUMBER TWO hate! Do you not use the bog just because of the common grey/toilet waste tankage dump situation or cos the toilet doesn’t work? Maybe the genny oil plug loc is to lubricate that slide rod ?! Great video Mitchell. Thankyou Nick (U.K...1989 RV owner with common issues but slightly smaller tools required... like you, sometimes you gotta live with stuff EXCEPT water ingress! Best seam weather sealer here in U.K. is Bostik “Sticks Like Sh*t”.... ask Ethel, she’ll tell ya!)

Put a quick valve on the generator. Use a clear tube/hose to the drain pan

I love your newell and everything about it. I binged on your newell videos. The sound of the Detroit diesel is soooooooo awesome.....it gets me.....shall we say "excited". The Detroit "69" is hilarious. I have a 41' DP and I will literally will go out to the motorhome, on occasion, and start it up just to hear it run. . I never ever get tired of that sound and to be honest, it's the #1 reason why I bought a DP which is silly but I didn't care. We totally didn't need a DP but it's a male testosterone thing. My wife so doesn't get it and she thinks it's weird that I am obsessed with it. But then again she also owns 1000 pairs of boots and shoes, that I totally don't get and I think that's totally a waste but whatever. It's funny, my grown son totally gets it and is the same as I am and will sit with me just listening to it run but my 2 daughters totally don't get it and think it's "dumb". Great video and take care!!

“Go to a nursing home and ask Ethel what she thinks” best quote yet

Put a Fumoto oil drain valve on the generator

I love the Detroit sound more than anything.

Even though it’s that old it still looks quite good.

You need to check out Video Bobs Prevost before he moves out of Texas. He is good for content, making an entire video. Smoke Test the Airlines! I bet you could use some type of Dye that you could only see with glasses on and a UV flashlight.

Could you make a valve drain for the generator? If you could match the threads you could offset it with two 45’s just run it with Copper and that way it doesn’t drain on the rod.

Make a funnel for the drain on the generator kind of like a over sized beer gravity bong from back in the day and you can run it into a empty oil jug from the previous oil change. Just an idea for you.

" Driving around, with that thing sticking out, would be really bad" has Viagra commercial written ALL over it. 😂😂😂

Winnebago Man sales edits would work well with this lol

Drain plug issue easy fix get a nospill drain plug. It will make things much nicer. Put one on that Detroit to. Then you just tread off a cap and as you tread on a hose it starts to drain out the hose

Hi thank you…I’m looking at a 1999 the owner has been very honest about the air leaks….im not mechanical minded….is fixing those leaks difficult? Also I was hoping the air ride seat would help with the pedals as in riding the seat higher as I’m 6’3”….thanks for the videos

Your Bus is really cool

Have you seen “crafty & stitch’s big bus adventure “ pretty good series on updating their 90S prevost

Hey Mitchell: For your oil drain plug issue on your generator why not get a No-Spill oil drain kit? It installs permanently on the drain plug eliminating your issue

" Floral vomit". 😂😂😂

You left off number eight of things you love about it which would be the zebra print 🥰

You asked at 3:40, I answered “yes” lol

In regards to the blk/gray tank, it might have a dividing wall with a valve so it can be used as two tanks or one big tank. I do know newer models years work that way. 🤷‍♂️

I absolutely love the Mark Martin action figure! Ima try n find one now

Quick question, how many times does he say the word like? Other than that great post I appreciate it thank you.

i didn't see any complaint mentioned that i couldn't fix. i've owed dozens of rv's and they all need numerous repairs. just be glad it's not a sailboat. The nature of the beast.

I wish my truck had that feature being able to fill on both sides. My brother kinda does but its just because he has two tanks in his 1985 chevy k30 that was out of the military. He LS swapped it and is putting a turbo on it for roughly 500hp at the crank. When is there going to be more escalade/monte carlo content?

Air leaks are a mans Nemesis Lol. Keep a spray bottle with a bit of dish soap mixed with water handy for finding air leaks!, sprayem and they will always bubble!, had one in all my semi trucks they are the handiest thing to find them. I am wondering is 777 performance your own business and are you living in the Newell out side of your shop?. I live in my fifth wheel and love it, but i want a newell or a Beaver patriot. As for the hydraulic cylinder being in the way of draining the oil get yourself a twist drain and modify it with a hose so you can aim it where ever you want, makes oil changes a breeze!. Your issue with tires rubbing, your suspension leveler should be adjustable both front and back, change to rod length to get in to come up more and your tires won't rub, my lowbed trucks had a remote valve controlling ride height so i could set it higher or lower or dump all the air. its a nice ride it's well worth putting in the cool stuff, Keep the vids comin man your great entertainment..Keep us posted!. Oh and BTW Get Buddy heaters for emergency's..

There a unique sound the detroit's have I've allways liked it .so ya it sounds good

LOL "Weird floral vomit." You know, now that I think of it, some of them DO have that kind of decor.

Nice coach! Is solar an option for you?

Mark martin is the man. Class act.

DMB Poop Bridge story is TRUE I was living in Chicago when that happened

If you lower the driving seat or change it that would help. And also keep both of your legs up closer to you and it will help with your back. I drive a Pete every day that tight up to the dash and pedal like that.

When are you going back to yellowbelly ?, It would be nice if you do a live stream at that place

Fold a piece of cardboard to direct the oil from the drain location.

Great video Newell rule ha ha Thank you

This is an awesome rv, i would ride with ya

get a femco drain plug for that generator

Mid 90s diesels are the best. Does big Al have Jack’s ,helps it relieve pressure on air system.

Also it’s kick ass. My dads minitruck is from 96 and it follows the “old but kinda cool old” sort of feeling.

Rides like a Cadillac 👍🏼

What should one expect to pay for a RV in this year in good condition?

Seams most large motorhomes have seats that make No sense. They're comfy but lousy for driving. The pedals are too close and the steering wheel is misplaced so you can't see the gauges properly. My 2000 Foretravel u320 is weird like that too, tire rubbing as well. Put a 45° fitting and a ball valve on the gen drain.

They make the steering wheel a specific size for a reason. If you have a blow out you will need all.of that wheel to keep it on the road. I would not change it.

Nice
