If he needs to pull a 30,000 lb 35' trailer, I am not sure that a Newell or any other motorcoach/bus chassis is the best solution. First, Newell has one of the highest towing capacity of any motorcoach/bus but it is 20,000 lbs rather than 30,000. Secondly, a 45' Newell with a 35' trailer (plus hitch length) is an illegal overall length in virtually all states.

A truck type toter-home may well be his only choice if he REALLY needs that much length and weight carrying capacity.

With a Newell, depending on the model year, he would also be 80-90,000 lb gross combined weight.
