Hello,
My wonderful wife and I are ready to get back to coach owning. We had an Alpine 38 from 200-06 but sold it to remodel our house. We were homeschooling in those days and traveled the country in summer and skiing in winters. We have pined over Newells since we saw one at a RV park in 2000 when we were taking a weekend RV driving instruction course. The one shortfall of our dear Alpine was that below 40 degrees it struggled, one memorable drive to CO in 10 degrees - not including the wind chill driving at 65+ - was tough sledding, no pun intended. It did okay after we put a space heater down below and added a oil filled radiator to supplement the forced air furnace.
Now we want a Coach for all seasons, so what else but a Newell. We intend to buy a used one in the 2008-2010 range later this year and then do a couple of local (CA) shakedown ski trips then leave asap after Christmas for 4 months of snow chasing though the Rockies meeting and making friends along the way hopefully.
We welcome any and all advice, counsel, tips, tricks, places to stay/park that anyone would be kind enough to share, especially from fellow skiers who have already blazed the ski trail ahead of us.
To the next adventure!
Steve and Denise
