Thank you for adding me to the group. I just purchased a 1984 Newell Classic 40'. Its my first Newell. I plan on traveling with my wife and kids all over the US. I race vintage motorcross in AHRMA and plan on going to all the Vintage races next year and racing my 1967 Maico oval 360 and 1974.5 Maico 440.

Just purchased coach 370.  Drove it home from Joplin MO to Manhattan KS yesterday.  It's a non slide 94, with a DD60.  Amazing driving experience compared to my 95 Fleetwood gasser.  Even with the solid front axle on the Newell.

Special thanks to Michael Day for his help with coach information when we were researching this purchase.  And thanks to everyone who manage this sight.  The info here was invaluable to me even before purchasing.

I've identified some issues with the coach and will probably be reaching out for help if I can't find what I need searching the site.

Hello proud Newell owners! Recently I read a post about Prevost vs. Newell. I had thought I had made a decision to buy a very nice Prevost and after reading about what the folks here said about your experiences with Newell Coaches, you changed my mind....found a very nice 1993 with only 106k miles on it and in excellent updated condition per the mechanic who has been working on the coach over the years and is road ready for a cross country trip. I think it is 43.5 feet long...so excited it really looks very nice, I always wanted a Prevost due to the stainless steel siding but I think I made a better choice for comfort and reliability the Prevost was a 1990 with 148k on it and is 10k more in price....thank you folks for your positive statements about your own coaches, reading your opinions made my decision easy! Peace be with you, Pastor Rob...

Sadly, We are no longer Newell owners! Earlier this year we sold our wonderful 94 Newell #365 to Matt & Leslie Whaley from the Lake of the Ozarks area. Very nice folks and Matt has been busy bringing her to their liking. Here's a good lesson for any of you who decide it's time to sell your Coach. If you meet someone that walks into your coach and really like it, and they're nice, excited folks, give them a price that gives them a lot of room for making it the way they like it, including those little repairs, and you'll both be Happy Campers! I hope the Whaleys enjoy having a Newell as much as we have.

I'll continue to browse on here just because, well, you never know the future! Anyway, I'd like to thank all of you for the open arms and sincere caring for a novice in 1999 and making him feel comfortable as a new Newell owner. Although I'd been in the RV business for 20 years, the Newell was a completely new experience and I spent 21 years and 308,000 miles with it and it was a wonderful, educational experience because of all your help and the wonderful people at Newell and the 24/7 help line! There's none better!

 Thank You to the many of you that I've personally met and A very special Thank You to Tom & Darlene. (The Newell towels Darlene made for us did not go with the coach) I wish I could have visited your beautiful new Newell Hospitality Center You guys are the best!

Best Regards and Happy, Safe Travels to all,

Hello fellow Guru's 

I have been working on my 2008 Newell (1223) for about a year trying to understand its air intake system and its limitations and have finally put together a video discussing what the various problems are and what I am doing to correct the situation.

I would appreciate any comments, advice or experience with the issues discussed from any of the members. 

The video can be found here.

Does anyone have pictures or drawings of their coach's skeleton frame before the skin was applied?

Sorry Michael, this one got away. I didn't want to pop up in his drivers window on Halloween to get a vin. The next morning he was gone. Note the stainless or perhaps polished aluminum trim  strips on the sides of this  beauty. Kind of a nod to Prevost? I was told he had been over looking at our 1984. Now that is funny.

Perdos S.O.B. campground. (South of the Border) On the North Carolina South Carolina border. Right off I 95. 100 ft pull through spaces, 50 amps  no wi fi, no cable. Did I mention 100 ft pull through spaces ? :}

I bought our 86' 40' with a 8V92 DD. Some previous owner removed the muffler and routed the exhaust straight out the back. Way too loud for my taste! I see the mounting brackets for a muffler. That part looks straightforward.  How was the exhaust routed originally? Did the tailpipe exit the side of the coach? Double back and exit the rear? Pictures would be great!
