We have been on the road fulltime for 18 years. Every wee a different state. We have been everywhere in every state many times over. We have 7 motorhomes and now our Newell coach.
Most (5) of our motorhomes have had slides. We went backwards in time with the Newell. It is a 95. I have learned to jump in and fix just about everything over the years. Newell slides are like most other things in a Newell....robust and solid. Although we only had slides on Freightliner frames, I can say when they are a problem, they are a problem. Also, they are very nice when out, but you will be cramped when they are in. We don't miss slides all that much. Our longest mh was 38 feet, the Newell is 45. This was interesting. It takes 2 acres, ok not that much, to turn it. The newer Newells have taken care of that. But, they are long. We have people say, "That thig is BIG" every week. As mentioned earlier, TAKE YOUR TIME!! Get one you like because these things are so nice, you will not or should not want to get rid of it. Even with the size, we have not been limited all that much. The larger problem for us is how low to the ground it is.
Anyway, enjoy your shopping. They are fun just to walk thru and look at.
