New member here 83 40' Newell Classic
#1

Just picked up a 83 40' Newell Classic .Not sure what number it is but i did find the vin tag, weight and such just left of the entry door. This is my very first coach or any rv at that. Found it for sale in Miami OK. about 1 mile away from the factory and 1.5hr from my house. Im the 3rd owner. They took very very good care of this rig it has every service and repair record from 83 till now and gobs of documents The interior is in almost perfect shape cept for a few very minor things that i need to repair. It has 70+ cabinets inside so no shortage of storage lol. Outside and mechanically its about the same story. Put all new tires on it day i got it since they were from 1999 lol and did some normal mechanical maintenance and took it on a 500mile trip dry camped for 3 days and plugged up for 3 days. No major issues there even towed my 6klbs jeep jku with ease. Im very surprised with the build quality and shape this thing is in for being 35 years old i looked at some other coaches (non Newell) the were much much more than this and 20 years newer and they were not near the quality and shape of this Newell. It has a 6v92t and 5sp allison with 151k miles 12.5kw gen with 1600hrs on it. I still need to repair a few things that im having a hard time finding replacements for and of course ive already started upgrading a few items and also make it handle a little better. It is Labor of love for sure plus Im a electrician and mechanic by trade so it should be easy for me to take care of most items but this is a different beast. 
Glad to be apart of the Newell family
