Some interesting trivia and speculation....My Newell (316) was a bunk bus for the Steve Miller Band. On the original print it showed 4 sets of bunks three high. The coach actually was built with 4 bunks just two high. When I disassembled the interior I could see where the side walls were marked and upholstered for three bunk stacks. I'm wondering if the plan originally was for one Star coach for Steve and one bunk coach for band members until they saw how small the bunks were when stacked three high. I was contacted years ago by a gentleman in Alaska who sent me a picture of his Newell that was painted just like mine but had a typical motorhome floor-plan. He said it had been Steve Millers coach. Later when I had my coach listed for sale a gentleman called me from Nashville stating that he had seen a Newell just like mine in town but did not know any more about it. I'm wondering if that was 317 and it is a bunk coach built to accommodate the band members who did not fit into 316 and the Star coach in Alaska is 318.
