Yes sir, Richard and Larry you sure have the right of it...
I was in Asheville last week and stopped into Tom Johnson right down the road in Marion. I was told they do a lot of business with the racing crowd and had a lot of high end coached including Newell's and Prevost's.
They didn't have either of them and the salesman told me they don't see many of them either. While I was there a guy was taking a test ride in a 2007 American Eagle 42 footer and I asked the salesman if I could ride along. I had driven my friends Newmar Essex and if I closed my eyes I don't think I could tell a difference in ride and interior noise.
All I can say is I'm happy most people don't have the opportunity I had to be in a Newell on the open road and have Richard as their tour guide. That would put far too much pressure on the Newell marketplace as everyone would be buying them...
You cannot compare an American Eagle and Newmar Essex to a Newell and that's for sure. They are nice coaches but its simply not a reasonable comparison. And Richard's was built way back there in the 90's somewhere, can you even imagine that?
