OWNER'S NOTES

This coach is in great shape for its age, and it's ready to hit the road anywhere. We've owned five coaches, and letting this one go is always tough - I know everything about this rig, and starting over with an unknown one is the hard part of any upgrade. No major issues. I do most of the maintenance myself, and anything I don't handle goes to a trusted, knowledgeable shop, so I know exactly what's gone into this coach.

Contact for more info and to schedule a viewing
256-937-6200 please TEXT first so I know who is calling and will pick up (way too many spam calls)

We are looking to replace the mattress in our coach #512 (1999).  I believe it is an olympic queen with rounded corners.  Looking for suggestion on where to purchase and type suggestions.

Hey...back again and still looking for a nice Newell. A 2007 front entry with rear lounge is for sale in NC. The owner sent the build sheets and change-outs. "Rear Lounge" and "Murphy" are mentioned in th4 build & change-outs but the pictures definitely don't show that layout.
So, I'm wondering if anyone here has any information on this coach. The owner says that one of the rear slides does not work due to seized roller bearings. He also says that Newell-Miami told him it would only cost $4,000 to repair the slide.
The step cover air solenoid isn't working. The problem here is labor as the co-pilot seat has to come out and other stuff with it.
The coach has a Sub 700 cabinet-style fridge-freezer. What is the capacity of these units? Our Monaco had 23.5 cu ft and it was perfect since we travel three-four months a year.
Guidance from you guys would be welcome.
Thanks! 
Tom
PS: I know where one of the 16 or so Newmar London Aire's is and for sale under $200k. This group from roughly 2006-2007 was Newmar's attempt to make a Newell.

Sitting in the warehouse happily. I let the air completely go out of the system. The back comes up to normal ride height but the front is still down and 0 on supply guage :-( I think the compressor is ok since the back and brakes are working; sound like a ride height control or similar; odd that only the front is down on both sides; no air leaks I can hear (I don’t hear so good)… 
What you guys/gals think?

For anyone with a classic and need a motor this is in Berryville AR. Fire trucks are usually very well maintained. This one has 25k miles

Hi,

I've been reading here for quite a while and registered an account so I could ask about this coach.  I tried to search, but I guess I need a class on how to search.  when I search #678 or just 678, I'm told that I don't have enough letters in my search.  So I haven't found anything.

Here's the sale link:
https://www.rvt.com/buy/details/2003-new...8259c7411/

I've spent about a year preparing for this, and I want to go at least semi full-time in the next year.  I've narrowed my search to a 2000-2005 Newell or a 2007-2010 Foretravel Nimbus or Phenix.

The thing that puzzles me about this coach is that there is no co-pilot chair?  I'm not sure why.  I'm also not sure if it could be added.  I know everything is built to order, just not sure why someone would order that?  Or maybe it got removed?  I suspect the photos are not showing everything but before I make a trip, i thought I'd ask some basic questions.  My hope is that someone knows this coach and can encourage/discourage me depending on the situation.  I've studied and learned a lot, but there is so much I do not know.

Any advice is appreciated!  Happy to give more info, just don't really know where to start!

Thanks!  
Mark

The latest Andrew Steele video on Newell, covers some of the 2027 model year technology changes Newell has implemented.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8xRIFTrw0I

Included is moving from the Intrepid Coach Management System to the Compass Coach Management System, making Lithium batteries standard, installing two 5,000 watt inverters, increasing the usage of 3D printing for custom parts, expanding the N1 solid state power distribution center to the chassis side and many others.

Saw a dark brown Newell with a few black swirls with a white toad (Jeep) between Canton and Candler on the I40 at 5:30 this afternoon July17th 2026

Always looking out for Newell sightings

Always wonder if our fellow Newell owners roam the site 

       

Just a quick note to say hello...

Lurked without logging in for a while and now I'm here.

Currently a Foretravel owner and have been looking for our next coach for a while. Always figured we'd end up with one more Foretravel and then move to a Prevost. Used Newell coaches keep popping up in front of me so - educate, debate, and decide if maybe a Newell fits into that mix?! 

I have so many questions on the evolution of the Newell build, options, how & why some things exist, etc.

Don't be too tough on me - I do love my Foretravel!

I have a 2002 Newell coach 622 in Miami, Oklahoma. It has four slides. There is extensive water damage and slide out damage. The engine has a little over 100,000 miles on it, generator has low hours. It was a show coach. It has the grill, extensive extras. It should be sold for salvage parts in my opinion. It would need to be towed out of the Newell storage lot as soon as possible. I have the title. This is an extremely sad situation and I wish I did not have to do this. I can be texted at 440-465-3979.
