Jon, third times a charm can be a good thing or a bad. But, I may already be past three depending on how you look at it. I have looked at more Newell's in the last few months not just for myself, but for others and I'm actually a little tired of it. I like those straight up deals without all the BS that some like to throw into the mix. To think what one person thinks is a good shape coach and what I or someone else thinks is, can be the difference between night and day. Just like tires being like new but way past the dates and cracked. By the way, this guy who was selling me a song and dance on the cheap, turns out to be a baptist church pastor, which he didn't know I knew that, but after he was acting so darn squirrely I had to check him out and was shocked to find out who he really was. He also told me while I was looking it over, that I have to move it out that day, because he needed to get started on the hay storage barn they are building there. Something else crazy was that the coach had been moved at a prior time from another area in the yard that had a bunch of oil on the ground from it leaking like a sieve and they moved it to this newer location supposedly only a couple of days prior, yet the ground in both spots was well dried and brown compared to the rest of the yard. It had been sitting much longer than he was leading on. The funny thing is that the price was so right, that he could have just been honest on the whole deal unless something fishy was going on.

Steve, I'm with ya brother on the classic design. The more I look at Newell's I still love the classic and my wife really liked the floor plan of this particular coach. She told me the same thing, she really wanted this coach as a keeper but not in that condition. We were seriously looking to do something like what Forest has and others are talking with a later model slide etc...,but we really do like the hotrod look of the classic. This it what drew us to the Newell in the first place. We could have bought a new or almost new cracker box but the bus conversions and then the Newell rocked our world. And if I decide against a slide, I'm sticking with a classic. And even if I decide the slide or slides are on the table, I'll have them put in. I could care less what the thing is worth when I'm done, as I'm not doing it for resale, that's only a bonus if and when the time comes. And like Tuga I believe said one time, if you enjoy the son of a gun, it's priceless.
