Hi Dick,

Welcome to the forum.

It's hard to provide specific answers to your question about the 89.

Maybe you could tell us a little more about your background, especially with regard to mechanical/electrical hands on experience.

Here is kind of a generic summation of the situation. First of all coaches are built a lot sturdier than the traditional RV. Second, they usually have vary robust systems for chassis, electrical, and plumbing. Third, any coach is going to require maintenance and repair. If you are a hands on guy that likes to tinker, then go for it. If you expect to sign the check, and travel the country with only having to change the oil, you could be in for a surprise. This is not unique to Newell at all. It applies to all motorhomes. They are just that. A house with three interconnected electrical systems, two interconnected water systems, and built on a fairly sophisticated diesel chassis.

Tell us some more about you and what you want to do, and you will get better input.
