Howdy Guru's-
Denise and Jeff here...traveled from the 'old site' were we were lurkers/wannabes.
We have been looking and learning about Newell's and have had the great pleasure to speak to several of the forum members.
We are actively looking to buy and have already eliminated our house and are full-timing in a 5'ver...proved the model/lifestyle...so now it is "Newell Time"
I married a Miami, Okie gal and she grew up knowing the Newell product.
So easy sell there...just had to make sure the RV down-sized lifestyle was for us...and we both love it more than we thought!
Looking at late 80's thru the 90's...
Hope to learn more and will contribute when we can.
We are in Norman, OK
Happy Trails.
D & J

Denise & Jeff,
Welcome to the site. There are many people on this site that can answer questions concerning any vintage Newell you may have. I bought my Newell in 2010 and couldn't be happier. I searched for "my Newell" for almost three years and found it to be a fun experience. I have also found that the Newell family is made up of some great folks and have made some real friends. I hope your search is as much fun!
Good Luck........................

Welcome Denise and Jeff!
I think you will find the bunch of folks that hang out here to be among the nicest on the planet! On top of that, they know almost as much about Newells as the craftsmen that built them.

Another welcome from a wannabe.
Although Newell was on many of the suggested brands, I always ignored them because I thought they were too expensive. I've since been proven wrong (easy enough to do), so I investigated further. Short version, we like what we have seen.

Welcome Denise and Jeff......so glad you migrated over to our site. Most of us used to be on the other site. You have found the site with a few 100 years of Newell knowledge between us.

Denise and Jeff, glad you are full-timing and hope that you will find a Newell that meets your needs and expectations. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have. We have folks that pretty much cover the waterfront on Newells of all ages.
Welcome aboard and I will second Forest and Cindy's suggestion that you join us in Spearfish. If you haven't found a Newell by then it would be a great opportunity to see a multitude of Newells in one place and if you do, you might get some free help with it.
