New-to-us Newell, rough start!
#2

I previously had a 77 Newell and I initially thought that was complex compared to previous RVs. Then I bought the 93 coach sight unseen from MOT. On the way home to Michigan I repeatedly told my wife that this thing was way too complicated (far simpler than yours) and I was going to put it up for sale when we arrived home. I still have the 93. It's taken me three years of exploring to figure out how most of it works (chalk that up to an obsessive engineering brain since a lot of what I know will never get used). It is an exercise in learning, but oh the rewards, such as sitting here on the Mississippi watching a tow of 42 empty barges being powered upstream by a three screw boat navigating squirrely currents and weird winds against the freeboard. I thought I had to plan ahead, these folks start turns a half mile ahead of time. they seem to love going sideways in their huge vehicles. Good fun.
