You are correct. Newells were mid-entry from the beginning until 2004. A few front entry 2004 models were built but most were still mid-entry. Coach 701 is one of the first front entry Newells. It didn't take long for the transition to front entry to occur. By mid 2006, most of the Newells were being built as front entry. A few mid entry Newells have been built since 2008 but not many. I know of at least one 2010 and one 2012 Newell built with a mid entry.
