#1442 2012 SOLD

I own a 2000 model #555. Last year, after going full time in our coach, I went to Newell for yearly service. They have a very extensive list. You can choose to do any or all checking individual line items to be performed. The entire list costs about $3000 including parts and labor. Thus, you will not know what was done each year without reviewing the Newell records on a specific coach.

I will say that these are complex coaches, but many on this forum complete their own PM yearly. Others, do some, and have Newell do some. If you do not have the ability to perform on your own, the $3000 maybe a good investment, because breakdowns on the road can be costly.

I am not aware of any Newell service contracts. You can buy a used coach from them, and get a warranty.

The yearly cost probably depends on how well the coach was maintained and is it time to replace batteries, tires, and other expensive items.

Personally, I planned for and had a costly startup, upgrading systems knowing I was going full time and did not want unexpected issues on the road, preferring to proactively fix before breakage. So far, that has paid off 11 months into fulltiming.
