Default New Newell Luxury Coach Owners

Hi All

It's official, we are the new owners of a 1983 Newell coach, purchased early this week in Holland MI.

She is a beautiful classic that has been refurbished inside and out. I found the coach on your newellclassifieds, contacted the seller, flew down to check the coach out, and then pulled out my wallet.

We have stored the coach in Holland until the spring, at which point, we'll fly from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada and drive our new coach home.

This winter will be spent learning as much as possible about Newell and this particular coach. I'm looking forward to creating a detailed manual based on all the incredible knowledge on your forum.

Talk to you all later.

hmmm, can't seem to get my pics into an album or my profile. Could it be an administrative problem?

This is my attempt at launching my photo album on the forum. Yikes, I hope the learning curve isn't this steep once I get working on my coach. haha

I just saw the pictures of your 83 Newell and I am impressed, so elegantly classic outside and upgraded and comfortable inside. As far as I am concerned that is a brilliant idea !
