Hello All,
My Wife Lisa and I just purchased coach #385 a 1995 Newell NO slide coach. We just cannot believe how well made the coach is, and how well it has been taken care of. Yes it is 28 years old, but the interior is still in great shape for something that has bounced down the road for 150K miles. The engine purrs like a kitten and I love when the Jake brake kicks in when slowing the coach down. (Ladies its a guy thing) I bought it in KY, about 800 mile from home, the first day was an experience. The steering and air brakes are a lot different then a 2019 GMC Yukon Denali. By day 3 I was allowing myself to sit back in the helm chair a little. Made it home relatively safely with only a cracked windshield. Please do not ask how this happened as I would not like to relive the experience. Maybe in a few months at a Newell meet with a cold beer in my hand. The big issue I have currently is 2 of my basement airs are down. It really is the weakest link of this vintage rig.
