Default UPDATE on our Trip across the USA.....6,000 miles and counting!!! Pics on Facebook

Hello everyone. Thought we would give you an update on our trip of a lifetime across the USA in our Newell. We have hundreds of pictures posted on facebook. To find them, click on this link: https://www.facebook.com/asuperdave or look us up David Lester in Hilton Head Island, SC or facebook screen name: asuperdave We are public so you dont have to be friends to see the pictures, but if you are a memeber of facebook, please feel free to friend request me and see all of our travels and pictures.

Leaving Hilton Head Island SC we had some service work done at the factory, then headed to the Black Hills SD, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, Coeur d'Aline, Vancouver, Washington coast 101, Oregon coast 101, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, and many places in between.

6,000 miles in the Newell and it has been FLAWLESS!!!!!! ZERO ISSUES, NONE, NADA, ZILTCH!!! Has not overheated once, has not used a drop of oil or coolent, about 7.8 mpg, every system and component works perfect, heat when we needed it, a/c in 100+ deg, bad roads, twisty roads, generator runs when engine is on, dry camped two days straight with gen, no issues. We also brought our 1,300lb golf cart on a lift and have a tow car behind that!!!! We do laundry and dishes twice a week in the Newell, wonderful to have two bathrooms, keep the fridge stocked, cook out 5 nights a week, and sightsee at every stop. We have also put 5,000 miles on our tow car on this trip sightseeing!!!!

We still have over 4,000 miles left on our trip, and will be returning to HHI before christmas, then off to Florida for the winter!!! We are currently in Reno/Sparks, and will go back to South Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Sequoias, LA, Malibu, San Diego, Indio, Lake Havasu, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, San Antonio, and back to HHI.

As some of you know, we have completly updated our coach, and its so cool to get people asking about it and wanting to see the inside every campground we go to. All I can say is that this coach is 16 years old and performs like a new one. 79,000 miles and it is AMAZING!! We spent 6 months getting this coach ready, and lots and LOTS of money, $20K+ but its more than worth it. When we eventually get out of RVing, and settle down somewhere, someone will get a DEAL OF A LIFETIME when they buy this coach!!!! I did not hesitate buying a 16 year old Newell, and it turns out to be the best decision we have made.

Will keep you all updated and dont forget to see the pics and feel free to comment on Facebook too!!!

Dave and Marjorie
