We have a 1992 Newell. Every year we go to Quartzite rally and look at the brand new coaches of the other manufacturers. They certainly look a lot glitzier than ours. But when you drill down to compare; the hinges used, the density of cabinet doors, as well as the other materials & workmanship, I would not trade straight across unless I could unload it in a hurry & get a little bit newer Newell than our '92. It always amazes me that folks will go right past quality and value to get a new poorly constructed coach just because it is new. I for one can not see where one of the other brands will have the usable life span of a Newell, unless maybe it would be one of the Prevost conversions. Before you buy, take the time to look at all in depth making quality/cost/usable life span comparisons and I'm sure you will not be satisfied with less than a Newell.
