Welcome Bob and Carol! I know that you would be pleased with a Newell. They are built solid. Your concern about the weight, I know in late 2008 coaches they upgraded the front tires to 365 and also the tag axel. That continues to be standard today. For pre 08 coaches, they can be retro-fit with the 365. They increase the crusing speed from 65-75, and run much cooler. You also adressed going through a weigh station; I have had a motorhome for 8 years and never been stopped..often times when I'm pulling my trailer I think I will get stopped but never have. However I do not know other states laws regarding weigh stations. I would defiantly start looking direct at Newell. Coaches that are within 8 years of the current production model come with a 2 year warranty. They are very friendly folks up there and are always helpful. If you do not see anything there, I often times see several on rvonline.com
Enjoy looking! That is the funniest part.
