ok...harry, here is one for you.
our 2002 is our 4th coach. a 27' travco, a 35' executive, 90 and 2002 newell. where i worked we got sabbaticals every 7 years for 2 months. so my first sabbatical i bought the 35' executive and we spent the summer in it with our 4 kids from 1 year to 12. it was a real adventure. we broke down all over the place but i would get it fixed and off we would go. adventure of a lifetime (until we did it again). not long after we got back from that sabbatical, we decided we wanted a cabin so we sold the executive and bought the cabin. (wish it would have been enough to buy the cabin but it wasnt...ha). our oldest daughter at the time CRIED when we put it on the for sale lot. she had such great memories of it.
since it broke down so much, i told myself my next coach would be a bus. like a real bus. so all i looked at was prevost, then birds and and most know, i stumbled upon newells.
so i bought the 90 newell. i bought it one day in new mexico, drove it home, loaded it up and off we went with me, darlene, my two younger kids and our grand daugther.drove to illinois from arizona without know anything about the newell. had a great time. a few maiden trip issues, but nothing big. then a sabbatical in the 90 that was virtually flawless. (had a plumbing check valve go out that cost me ten bucks and forced me (ha) to stay in a georgous place on the oregon coast. and we traveled for 10 weeks.
that same daughter spent 3 weeks with us (in the 2002) and brought our two grandkids and visited alot of folks on this forum and went like 3000 miles summer before last. my family loves the coach. the grandkids love the coach. i love the coach. i dont use it enough but i love the coach.
that commercial about rv'g and creating memories is spot on. if you full time in it, ours are great for that. if you vacation in it, ours are great for that. if you love to tinker, ours is great for that. is it cheap....no. are they alot of work at times....yes. is it worth it.....to me a resounding yes.
happy 1st saturday
