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.

Always good to welcome another Classic Newell owner. Will enjoy reading your posts as you learn about your Newell. Prairie Schooner and I have 1982 Newells, so we may be able to be of help as questions come up! Ask away!

Try Reducing the size
I found that reducing the size sometimes helps..

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

Very nice and tastefully done! I'll bet you're thrilled. It is amazing that a coach that is almost 30 years old can look that nice. Enjoy your new family member.
