Hello fellow Newell owners. Andy and I bought a 1983 Newell in November 2015. We have completed an interior upgrade replacing 43 year old blue shag carpet with cork floor tiles, recovered pull down shades, reupholstered couch and swivel rocker chairs (big project but love results), added solar to roof, fixed roof leaks and sorted out electrical. Remaining projects are replacing air bags and making new drapes. Our plan is to do a short shake down trip, then head South.
Attached are pics of the interior before and after, the exterior.
If anyone has any suggestions about replacing our air bags such, part number, supplier, or other suggestions, we would appreciate it.
Also, if anyone is willing to share a list of replacement part numbers/suppliers for the 83 that would be great. We did not get much documentation with the coach.
Can't wait to see Newells on the road and hope to meet some of you soon. I love this forum. Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful.
