[attachment=7306][attachment=7305]Some of the laminate on the door facings into our rear bathroom doorway was coming off so we decided there was no better time than the present to repair it.  Purchased some LocTite epoxy and prepared to go to work.  It was rather intimidating to note on the instructions that you only had 40 seconds to "get-er-done" after you started applying the epoxy. There's more than one place on the doorway to work on, but decided to tackle the largest one first.  I faced the laminate with blue painter's tape so if it oozed out on top I could pull it off.  Assembled my tools...a butter knife, Q-tips, nail polish remover (acetone), emory board, (lol) and...some great clamps and a 2x6 faced with tape, (in case it might get stuck), for even pressure on the length of the gap. The epoxy says it "reaches usable strength in 5 minutes", but just in case they were lying, and because it was on the curve of the doorway, we left over night and are very happy with the results.  I could scarcely wait to look. Now on to the places that have less area to fix on the other side of the doorway.  ----Lynda

         P.S.  My first attempt was with Gorilla Clear Grip and it was unsuccessful.  It says it permanently bonds in just seconds, but I didn't find that to be true at least not in the case of a vertical situation. I kept it clamped for about 6 hours and it popped right open again. I had used the LocTite before on a smaller area by the kitchen, so I knew it worked, but the lenght of the delamination in the bathroom scared me because of the 40 second work time.

Hello everyone!

I’ve been lurking here for a good bit. I spent a good bit of time looking for a coach before I happened upon the Newell brand. Very glad I did!  I wound up purchasing coach #419 from Motorhomes of Texas. You good folks have been an invaluable source of information during my hunt for a good Newell. I’d also like to thank the Opels for taking very good care of the coach until it was my turn.  Hopefully I’ll do as well with it. 

A bit about me here. I’m in a somewhat unusual situation. I work in film and so I work on a project for a few months and then take a few months off.  I never seem to live and work in the same place, so I wound up with a vintage 1985 Toyota chassis RV. It’s great for boondocking in crew parking for work but a bit short for square footage.  While working on a film last year that involved a big fleetwood pusher, I really started to think about full time. That led to big coaches, which eventually brought me here.  Ideally, this summer Kenda and I will switch to full time in our new to us home.  We’ll park while I work and meander when I don’t  

Sorry for grammar and spelling errors. Stupid tiny phone typing.

Hello All!,  

We currently own a 01 National Islander. I've been a lurker here for a few years & I've always loved the Newell. My DW and I are entering our retirement years and we'd like to transition into full time in the next year or so. We have owned three rigs in the past 6 years and now we are looking to get into the Newell family.

I am a custom home designer for the last 35 years, I drive a school bus in N. California by day and run two airbnb apartments the rest of the time so I have a busy life. I love buying and rebuilding exotic cars as a hobby (wife not always happy about that but she let's me anyway) LOL 

We both love glamping and remodeling RV's.

Thus far everyone that I have reached out to has been really kind and helpful in guiding me on our hunt for the right Newell for us. I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions and I can't wait to meet the Newell family in person.

Any info on #266 it is on Indianapolis craiglist

Hi there,

Presently I own an 88 Wanderlodge WB and have had it for 5 years. Looking at getting into a Newell, 2007 to potentially a new build.

    Bendix in engine bay.  More of a curiosity to learn my coach.

We drove to Clear Water Beach, FL for business meetings this week. Richard invited us to stop in. We had a great time.. Richard is a wonderful host and appeared to be behaving himself during Rhonda's absence!! Thank you for showing us your Newell. I came away with some ideas for improvements to make on our Newell. Thank you for lunch at Little Italy. Most of all thank you for welcoming me into the RGA.! (Repairers Guild of America). I will carry that memory with me for the rest of my life!

Since Mark's new 2021 Newell will be completed in less than 2 months, Andrew asks him why he buys Newells instead of Prevosts.
