followup
As a follow up to an earlier posting, I called for information on the '96 Newell in Albany, GA. Here's what the owner told me: Owned by his late brother in law in north Florida. 26,000 original...

Newell Spotted
Not sure exactly where to post this, since I'm an infrequent poster. On the way back from Florida yesterday I spotted a '96 Newell For Sale just south of Albany, Georgia. It was late, and the place...

My choice
I bought my GMC specifically for the size. Tires are $100 each and I can walk around in the coach without bumping my head. The beds are too short, but I have some expansion room. I have no desire to...

Yep! it is so
A real GMC guru who lives in Americus talked me into making the change. After I got caught up in a little April fool's prank on this net, I started thinking a GMC might not be a bad way to get my...

I'm not sure if you are limiting to Newell owners. If you are, I can understand. I went over to the dark side and bought a '78 GMC Royale. Having fun but have no TV except for an antenna. I'd make a...

Believe it or not I really value you guys' opinions. Without owning a motorhome of any type I feel like I have absorbed so much knowledge just by participating in this and other forums.

Wally - you are preaching to the choir. I have wanted a BlueBird from day one and only discovered the Newell a year ago. Either would be superior to the GMC for fulltiming or for long time usage.

Probably neither-nor (or is it either-or) Actually I'm getting close on a GMC. I've pushed my wife about as far as she is going to go. If I were to buy a real motorcoach, I would like twin beds. I'd...

Time to buy
I sort of like the '76 in the classifieds. Nearer my price range but probably way beyond my mechanical ability to keep it going. Owner sounds a bit squirrely, but who am I to talk? With a name like...

your newell
I, for one, like the dog. I've often wondered about all the non-smoking no pet coaches. Why travel without a dog??? I can assure you, Zippy the flea market Chihuahua will be wherever we go.

Information?
Do you have information posted on this coach? It may be more than I could handle, but if I'm reading you right it might be more cosmetic than mechanical. Just thought I'd ask.

Got me!
I guess I'm just gullible. Not having anything, I'm interested in getting something I can afford to buy, have worked on and to drive. I fell for the joke. What can I say? I'm a Bluebird kinda guy.

Steerable tags
Some Bluebird LXI models in the late 90's had steerable tags. Might be others. It just seems like something else to go wrong. I know the "fix" for some problems was to weld the tag in the locked...

You know, you well may be right. Straddling the fence can be mighty uncomfortable unless it is a mighty short fence.
Seriously, I'll pull the trigger when I find what I want and can afford. If...
