After searching for a Wanderlodge for several months my wife and I met a couple who owned a 80 model Newell. We changed our search towards a Newell immediately. Finally after a 4 month search we acquired an 1982 model from a nice couple from Florida. She needs a little TLC but by springtime she should look glorious.
This group can be very helpful in many ways .... Great "Search" here for all kinds of information.
Welcome Tony!
Many of us looked at or owned B Birds. Fine coaches they are. I'm liken the Newell though!!!
Welcome Tony! The Newell classics will never go out of style!!!
Welcome Tony,
glad to have another classic owner here

Welcome Tony, these are great coaches and with the help of this group they will last longer than any of us.
We actually looked @ a couple Wonderlodge's - was getting ready to book a flight to look @ another, but it sold. Then somehow stumbled across a Newell - bought it and have been impressed ever since.
Well our deal with the Newell fell thru. After looking at her a little more closely she was plagued with major problems. After I got her cranked up she was bellowing white smoke. 3 of the 4 air bags wouldn't hold air for air suspension etc, etc.After leaving for a 5 hour ride home discouraged I asked the wife to browse trader.com for another Newell. Sometimes things happen for a reason. There was a Newell for sale in our price range 30 miles from our home. 2 years newer 1984 model#37 with 50,000 less miles in near mint condition. We are meeting on Wednesday to work out logistics of the sale. Sweet!
Tony,
Welcome aboard the Newell train! There are a great group of folks here, and we are backed up by a great group of guys at the factory. I hope that the second deal works!
Cheers,
