Steve for the right deal, the puppy (5 yr Jack Russell) could go with? Actually, he love's to travel. His name is "Fly Baby". He fits well on a Newell Dash and makes a great mascot. Seldom barks and doesn't cause damage.
Clarke, I agree with the blue and it is somewhat rare on the earlier Newell's. My old '76 is in the gallery and it is more along the brown's or darker earth tones of the era. Yes, the bed is original other than it had been raised by newell back in '86 I believe when a new turbo motor was installed. I think that is the reason why you probably won't find a turbo charged Detroit in a twin bed coach, do to clearance issues. Until of course they raise the whole floor up on later models. It has a very robust engine, like most of the Prevost conversions, but probably a little lighter do to the ground up design by Newell.
