Hello Karl,
Nice to see another vintage Newell enthusiast. We have a 38' 1983 Newell. We learned a few hard lessons on our first trips. I recommend that you make sure you fully understand the Battery Merge switch on your dash (the actual solenoid is to the right of the radiator) and also check around to see if you have any other battery isolation switches (I found the hard way). I also found out that air bags last about 25 years; make sure they've been replaced. I got lucky when one of mine ruptured after I parked it; could have been ugly to have it fail going down the road. Given that you've had a trailer, you'll have no problems with the other systems. Welcome aboard.
