By the questions you will surely tell I'm a Newby.  For 15 years i'v owned a 40' Vogue V.  absolutely no issues othere than it's overweight.  but it's time to find something else.  We don't sit much as traveling is more fun.  We are certainly not full timers.  The wow factor of 4 slides is great BUT!

I'm looking at 2 or may 3 slides probably 2001 and newer (probably due to monetary constraints up to about 2005) 

I know this is a loaded question but are there any particular problem areas that stand out  in the 2001 and later Newells 

So, Any Prevost style delaminations, radiator issues, suspension (new ZF suspensions or steerable tag really of any major benefit),  overweight (blown tires are a bitch!), how often do air bags need changing,  were the new Valid slides used to fix an inherent problem with the old?,  or anything in general to look out for?  

Any leads or guidelines would certrainly be appreciated

Thanks

Bath and a half, quad slide, heated tile flooring throughout. This beautiful coach will be coming soon to Newell as a trade-in. Since it isn't listed on Newell's site yet, I am posting some photos of the coach when it was first completed at the end of 2016. This was the second 2018 built.

   

   

   

One of my favorite Newells!!

We attended the first Rally sponsored by RVillage last weekend. It was at Elkhart Campground, close enough to home that DW could do her shift at the hospital and I could tend to business as well.
I got to meet one of our neighboring campers who was driving a Leisure Travel Vans Serenity. He gave me a quick tour of the coach. I was impressed with the quality of the materials and construction. If I were in the market for a Type C MH they would be on my list.

i replaced it with a dometic toilet, it worked ok, but was finiky, probably needs to be rebuilt.
Located in north central Texas, about an hour north of dfw area

Can anyone tell me where the works for the headboard cover is located?  When I press the switch I hear a motor, but I can't tell where it's coming from.

Hi all! Thank you for letting us non-Newell owners join! We just sold our 99 Foretravel and have been on the fence about purchasing another Foretravel or considering buying a Newell. After Grandpa's "Foretravel vs. Newell" thread (and your responses) I am looking hard at Newell but would be most interested in other insightful articles/comments about Newells. Our challenge is that I think we need one with a steerable tag because of the length of the coach and the already tight turns required on our property but that may break our budget... Does Newell have good build years and less desirable build years (like Foretravel)? Because Newells are all custom builds, how did you determine fair value when purchasing your coach? Thanks very much for your help. Perhaps this should be in another thread but I am not very good at using forums. I apologize in advance for my online ignorance...

I just wanted to give a heads up to anyone traveling in the Ft. Wayne, Indiana area, who might need service on their Allison Transmission. I won't bore you with the details but my recent experience with the local authorized Allison Service Center, Clark Power, was disappointing, to say the least. I'm not sure how they train their staff at other locations but the ones in Ft. Wayne are far from being $140 per hour professional Techs. FYI: They are also a DD authorized center and they couldn't even give me a DDEC read out. Hope all is well with all the Gurus.

Can someone point me to the  locations of the info (V.I.N.) tags on a 1986??

Are there more than 1??

Thanks, Mark
