Thanks to everyone for your input. I have a lot of looking and research to do. Does anyone have an educated opinion on maintenance issues and cost comparison between the two Rvs? I know there are always issues that surface from time to time, but my concern is for commonly known problems that are major expenses with either of the two. Any of your experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just getting off a heated post on the Foretravel forum from your post there. Have had two Foretravels and now a 
Newell, have to say, like the Newell more. Nothing wrong with Foretravel, [ some on Foretravel Forum will differ]
but like the ride and comfort of Newell better. You cannot go wrong with either coach, you might have problems 
with either one, but that is the nature of motorhomes. I have seen no special problems with either brand.
As PT Barnum used to say "you pays your monies, and you takes your chances."
