[Richard and Rhonda]

Dan,

Loose these Newell notions. They are horrible, they ride really bad, they are hard to drive, they don't hold up well with time, the owners are snooty, the company treats you like mud, they will fly apart like matchsticks if you happen to roll it, the frames are made from recycled pop tops, the engine usually won't pull a shoelace untied, and much more that I can't repeat on the internet.

Seriously, Newell uses sound engineering practices and elegant design to build the coaches. The reason that you don't see significant change year over year is that they tend to stick with structural designs that are proven to work. If you have moderate mechanical and electrical skills you will find them delights to maintain.

You already have gotten some very good input. I would add to that to look at two other features, the couch and the dinette. We have the double couch and a dinette that makes into a sleeper. It really came in handy for both of the teenagers to bring guests. Now that it's mostly the two of us, both have a couch to pass out on while watching TV.

You will find the center door very friendly to dividing the coach into two sections. The front sleepers don't have to get up to allow the rear sleepers to exit the coach for early morning coffee.

There are some excellent bargains out there on quality pieces. We would love to have you join us.
