Hidey-Ho-Good-Neighbors,
I have narrowed my search from 1999 t0 2004 and part of the reason is this and previous conversations of “clean up, paint up, fix up". First off I like what I see in those years and I've come to understand they were good builds, maybe especially the 2004.
So why put $500,000.00 into a 2008 coach and possibly have the same issues of a 2002? I don’t think I’d be to happy buying a half million dollar coach and dropping $10,000 to $15,000 right out of the box for a new oil-om-meter.
If I have learned nothing else I've learned not to confuse a Monaco, Newmar and American, all good coaches, but not compaired to a Newell. Somtimes you do get what you pay for!
I don’t want to get all tied up in the maintenance aspect of things because there’s a lot of fun stuff to go with it. But forewarned is forearmed and I don’t like being a Pilgrim in the John Wayne parlance!
I have a nice home and take pride in keeping it that way. My Newell coach will be thought of and treated the same way...
As always you guys are the best and Jimmy its the old story isn’t it “Don't forget to fly the airplane”!
Harry
