This site and community of people here are amazing. I can't stop reading what seems to be endless information. Current searching for a 1999-2002 bath and half Newell. I'm looking forward to owning, working on and learn as much as possible about Newell coach ownership.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Tom, does your 02 drive any different from the 09? In other words did Newell make any suspension updates during those years?

the 02 and 99 drove very similar. i did have to do some work on the steering column on the 99. it had slop in it. put new column ujoints in and a new bearing on the bottom of the column and it had no slop and drove great. it was 4 foot shorter than my 02.
