Rhonda and I went to the Tampa RV show this week. At the risk of sounding like I drank a whole gallon of the KoolAid, I have to say of the high end coaches, the Newell was the most tastefully appointed. For some reason, almost of the Prevost conversions were trending toward some variant of gold lame'. I truly expected to see Elvis sitting on the couch. It's not my taste, and I suspect that it will not age well as far as fashion goes.
Newell has done a very beautiful ceiling, that is simple but elegant at the same time. The show coach almost seemed like the designers had pulled back a little from over the top. And it worked.
In my opinion, Foretravel probably had the second best interior designs. They used low sheen woodwork in their IC 37 prototype and it looked far superior to the super gloss. Clearly the best appointed coach outside of the Newell/Prevost crowd.
We went into the high end coaches from the other MAJOR brands. I don't get it. Pretty, but sure is a lot of cardboard wall material. Shocking in a 600K coach.
