Greetings! I'm new the forum and am very strongly considering jumping into purchasing a 2007 P2000i Newell. I am requesting your wisdom. This would be my 1st Newell. I would like to purchase a newer model, but feel most comfortable with the 2007-2008 price-point. This particular unit appears to be very clean and the floor plan speaks to my wife and I. It is a one owner rig that I'm told was serviced at the factory each year. It was stored in the garage and has low miles. 

Does anyone know this rig?

Any information/advice/history would be appreciated. 

I appreciate any wisdom you could give me regarding this unit.

Are there any warnings you would give me regarding this year of model?

                [attachment=7001][attachment=7001]1969 Newell. 35'.  534 cu Ford Gas Pusher.  One of the earliest models.  South of Sacramento, CA, East of Stockton, CA. $14,000
Inside original and good condition.[attachment=7001]

Under my coach, in front of the differential is a heat exchanger unit for the radiator fan hydraulic fluid. Mine has 2 electric cooling fans. Are these fans supposed to be always powered on, or temperature controlled by fluid sensor and relay? This heat exchanger is not for my dash air, that condenser is mounted more forward. The exchanger I am asking about is not the transmission fluid cooler, but solely for the radiator fan motor hydraulic fluid. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I know, I have an uncurable obsession with how the coach handles. Despite all my handiwork on my own coach, there was something that just wasn't to my liking. 

Here were the symptoms, and they were most pronounce on a very smooth, and lightly crowned road. There were not detectable on a heavily crowned road, or with a moderate side wind, or a rough road. The coach seemed to want to randomly pull to one side or another. Normally that is a characteristic of too much toe out, or possibly toe in. The toe in was checked, massaged, checked and massaged over and over with no impact. Front tires show no wear patterns. 

This has been going on for a couple of years. I became convinced that the rear of the coach was steering the front. I already had on my winter project list to devise a way of checking to see if the rear axle was moving around because of worn radius arm bushings. 


I did notice the one of the front tires on the Subie tow car looked like the camber was off, and it was wearing on the left side. The car drove just fine with no pull so I assumed it couldn't be too bad. It was a slow day, and I found a tire store, and took it in for alignment. The toe in was out of spec excessively on the toad. After the car alignment was put back in spec, the handling of the coach lost this mysterious mind of it's own. 

Needless to say, I was happy with the outcome. Just wanted to make the gang aware of one more thing when chasing handling issues.

Shortly after plugging in at the last three campgrounds we have tripped the pedestal breaker. We were pulling about 30 amps on each leg (translation....AC's on high).

The dead giveaway that the breaker is the problem is to put your hand on the breaker. If you can't hold on finger on it because it is too hot to touch, then the problem is theirs. Luckily I have not had to argue with any of the campgrounds about replacing them.

This only applies to coaches with the old GM style steering column that Newell used prior to going to the Smart Wheel. I found an adjustment inside the dash that allows you to tilt the entire column back and forward about an inch at the column attachment mount. An inch of movement at the mount makes about three inches at the wheel. There is a angled metal bracket that is bolted to the steel under the dash. The angle bracket has slots in it. Loosen the four bolts and it will move a little back and forward. You will have to remove the dash cover to see it. 

I am a short guy with long torso, short legs and arms. I had to sit really close to the dash to be able to comfortably drive. By moving the steering wheel back, I am sitting about two inches further back. Doesn't sound like much but it's a dramatic improvement with regard to leg angle to the pedals, shoulder comfort, and I can actually see the gauges on the dash now.

We are almost finished with the purchase of Newell 420, a 1996 45' no slide.  Would be done now but the 4th slowed us down.

My wife and I have been looking at Class A coaches for a month and had spent last weekend looking at used Tiffin Busses, Monarch Diplomats, and Newmar Mountain Aires. We had just about settled on the Newmar when I typed a different set of parameters in the search engine and 420 popped up just 12 miles away.  Our lucky day!


I grew up in a town 20 miles North of the factory in Miami and returned there for a while after being in the Army.  I drove by lots of times but never thought some day I be in one.


Planning a few short trips this fall, mostly to Colorado, but early next year, look out America!

Quad slide, bath and a half, bunk beds, all porcelain tile flooring, $1,350,000  (Note, previous photos from Newell had a somewhat different color balance and showed to be less gray inside slightly warmer but I don't know which is the correct color balance)

For umpteen years I always thought there should be coaches for sale with 1.5 baths.  I have seen a couple used Newells currently on the market that now have this feature.  Does anyone know what year they began this feature?

I appreciate all your historical knowledge!
