Phillippe & Cathy,
I'll try & answer your cost of maintenance question. First of all I do 90% of the maintenance myself, so my labor costs are lower than some one who has a shop do the work. In figuring my maintenance costs I included coach drivetrain and suspension system, genset and all house systems. I have owned my Newell for just under 2 years and traveled about 26,000 miles. My cost per year is running about $2,500 a year. Now remember when you first get a coach there may be some "wants" that are not included in maintenance costs....ie I updated satellite system, new steps, etc.
I purchased my coach from a private party so I accepted all repair costs--no warranty. Now if you purchase a used coach from Newell, that is within eight model years, the coach would come with a 2 year, 24,000 mile warranty.
Hope this helps............................
