Richard,


 My wife and I have been full timing for the past 4 years in a BB . We have had 3 BB , 1 Prevost in the past 10 years . Prior to that we raised our children in trailers, and class C RVs. I am a sales man by trade, and now run a company of 34 , and have little time to do any of the  work myself on our coach . I do use the knowledge of exports like yourself to guide those I choose, to do repairs, and upgrades as needed to keep my coach on the road safely .
 What brings me to the Newell as our next coach would be the upgrades we would receive, at the price point we can afford. The Newell provides a greater living area over the BB , at the same price point . We like many spend more time living in the coach, over driving it, so we find no reason to go to a Prevost for the superior ride they offer over both the Newell and BB. I do not intend to start a who builds a better coach discussion and only speak from personal experience and ownership .
 As to my question about suspension on the Newell, I have spent much on my BB in the past 2 years on the suspension, and do not wish to repeat this exercise again . In the end I found the BB suspension to be a no more than that of a School bus chassis and want more out of the ride , and hope that the Newell will be that for us . Thank you for the offer on the bike ride , I plan to do the STP in July in 1 day and will need many rides from then to make it   thank you again in advance for all your help in my search for our next adventure in ownership .Al
