hi,

darlene and i love to have our friends stop by and visit and stay awhile. sorry, no hookups (unless you can use 15a), but there are nice rv parks within a mile.

many of our newell friends have stopped by and helped me with my coaches over the years.

Hi All, after full timing for 11 years I can still say we love it. We are parked now for 6 months on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We have put about 95,000 miles on the coach since we bought it in 2006. As Canadians we can only spend 7 months/year outside of our home province, but we have managed to see 23 states and 7 other provinces in that time. I would not change a minute of our experiences for anything. We have done many updates and revisions to our Newell, including a new paint scheme and have many pictures of the modifications we have done. Most of those mods can be seen on our gallery. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I believe Newell make the best of all coaches.

I thought that I'd post some of the most memorable campgrounds that we have recently visited that allow a '45 foot coach to enter & exit without leaving paint or body parts.

Gang,

My 2003 has two dual air conditioner units in the basement.  These have been a constant source of trouble for me.  They have been worked on many times (new fans, new boards, even a whole new rebuilt unit).

Now that they are working as designed, I have figured out that they cannot produce enough cooling for me.  I am getting about a 20 degree F differential between the air going in the returns and the air coming out the vents.

I was parked at my brothers house in Dallas (110F) running on generator facing south....and the coolest I could get the coach was 85F.  

So, I am at Newell having a single roof air unit added to my coach.  This thread is to document the experience with the install and to tell you guys how this experiment works out.

How about an area just for the ladies?
Cindy has come to enjoy being in the Newell almost as much as I do but if they have an area where they could exchange ideas on, oh I don't know, maybe washing machines, vacuums, hiding our credit cards.....
then they might become addicts like the rest of us. We need support for our habits.

So we are moving aboard again for a month or so. Headed 1st to Thousand Trails in Idyllwild to check out the systems. Next we are off to Pacifica and then Yosemite. Any suggestions after Yosemite?

If any Newell owners are going to be in the Branson, Missouri area we invite you to stop by and utilize our full hookups. We also have electrical & water hookups for a second coach if you are traveling in pairs. The farm has lots of room! Feel free to email me if you are coming to our area. We have already had two happy Newell campers this summer.

My name is Forest and I'm a Newell addict!
Just wanted to get this going.
Tried posting in "Howdy and welcome..." section but wouldn't let me.
Good luck and let's make this site better than the other one.

hi all,

we will figure out how to have a gallery for pictures of your rigs. still trying to figure out how to do it.

tom

hi all,

we are just getting started. this is an amateur site with the only purpose of helping each other with our coaches. i don't want any money from anyone and i will be counting on members to help from time to time. i work for a living so don't expect things to be handled superfast. i am a Newell owner and have a 2002 (and i am a member of the two Newell Club) as i also have a 1990. I have loved having our coaches and the friends that my wife and I never expected to get along with the Newell.

there are many fine resources on the web for our coaches and systems and this is just meant to be yet another one.

all are welcome, especially those that are looking at coaches, our Wanderlodge friends and Prevost friends and anyone else. there are many systems in common between different brands and i have learned a ton from the Bird sites.

yea, i can't spell very good and don't like to capitalize, but the content and caring is there.

welcome to my old and new friends.

tom
