#511 has just been listed on RVTrader.  You may remember it was listed at Motorhomes of Texas last summer.

Asking $114,995 which is about $25k less than last summer.

Hellloooo, Everyone!  My name is Tammy, I live in Seattle, and I am transitioning to full-time this Summer.  I am in the process of looking at coaches, and I have fallen in love with Newells.  I don't understand why anyone would buy a new gas RV with no heart or soul in the $100,000 range when they can buy an older model luxury Newell!

My last day at work is March 31.  I am putting my house on the market on May 1, holding an estate sale the first weekend of June to sell all the furnishings and belongings, then moving into a coach and beginning my next chapter.

I am looking at #511 in Texas on April 2.  A few questions for all of you (and thank you so much for having this welcoming and informative forum): 1) Does anyone have any history on 511?  2) Can anyone recommend someone in the Dallas Fort Worth area who can meet me with the owner and inspect the coach (cursory inspection - not in a garage)?  I am in no way handy and would not know a diesel from a hot rock. If found some companies on Google, but I'm hoping for someone who is already a Newell owner, better yet someone here at the forum, whom I can compensate for his time.

By the way, here is a video of the coach when it was for sale through Motorhomes of Texas. I'd appreciate any thoughts you have after viewing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKFBM4DAeDY

Finally, (and I read through all the forums here as a lurker before I joined), I welcome any thoughts and/or advice you have about: 1) full-timing 2) as a single woman 3) who relies on experts for mechanical repairs 4) in a Newell 5) with a dog and cat.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you and hearing about your adventures,

Tammy
