I agree. I really don't think the added length would be an issue from the standpoint of drivability. My comment about the impact on resale was on the legal issue and making a major investment into a...

Coach 733 is a 2005 model and 47'. It has been on the Newell pre-owned site for some time. The price has been reduced from $665,000 to 499,000 so you have to think that resale may be a bit of a...

Now that I think of it if you took the doors off and removed the shelves and drawers handling it through the door probably would work.

Wally,

I'm really surprised to hear that, I thought it would be necessary to pull out a window or windshield for one of the big side by side refrigerators.

A post on the burned 2005 was also made on the RVNet forum and Richard I think it was posted that he should post here. I sure would like to know the background on the fire.

As of this morning the reserve had not been met with a $80,000 plus bid so this could be a huge factor. It's sort of sad to see a nice coach in such a state of disrepair. It's hard to imagine someone...

afrench45:

You said you contacted Pat Dwyer at Newell. Didn't he give you a heads up on the background of the coach? That would be my first place to go on something like this just as you did.

Two 50 amp connections

Do some Newell's, especially the newer coaches have two 50 amp connections (cables) requiring connection to two 50 amp outlets? I know this is fairly common with large yachts and in the back of my...

Keyless entry

Does anyone know when keyless entry started. I think it was in 2000 but not sure. Also is this tied into the air operated entry door or did that come later.
