Personally, I like the look of the tag axle - it balances out the proportions. I also like the look of the upright windows vs the older slanted windows.
I like the widebody with no slides. Easier to setup & use while underway.
I also wanted a mechanical engine, I am not that comfortable with the computers in older vehicles, but that is just me.

After those desires were met, we had decided that we would accept almost any floor plan. As it turned out, the first one for sale that we looked at was the best floor plan we could have hoped for. Still some things we would like to change, but nothing major - The basement air conditioning takes up useful space inside, I am considering ducted roof airs with a common plenum. . . .

Currently, it is in the shop for cracked exhaust manifolds & to see if they can determine the cause for excessive air use while using cruise control - I could find no air leaks . . . .

Ahh, the life of a very happy Newell owner!
