Hi, everybody...

I've been lurking for a bit, and decided to register, yesterday.  Never having owned a motorhome/coach or any other type of RV, I'm new to it ALL.  I have always loved to drive and have driven cross country several times, so the prospect of RV travel has been on my wish list for years.  My wife and I would be occasional users with maximum traveling periods of, perhaps, a month.  For example, we're Philadelphia sports fans, so the concept of following the Phillies on a road trip would be on our "hit" list.  If all goes according to plan, we hope to make a purchase in the next 12-18 months.

My initial search was focused on new or late model Tiffin & Newmar products, but a friend who is a former Newell owner suggested that I consider them.  When I told him that I wasn't in the Newell price range, he recommended buying an older unit due the build quality.  I hadn't thought of going in that direction, initially, so, I started digging, and that's what has led me to this site.  I've never actually seen in a Newell in person (Philadelphia doesn't seem to be a hot bed for them!), and I've only walked through a handful of rigs of any make, so, hence, the "green as grass" subject line.  Frankly, we do still have to decide whether we want 45 feet of motorhome...plus toad...but that's part of the process, I guess.  Driving something of that size doesn't really concern me, but I do have concerns about "fitting" where we might want to go.  If we do end up in the Newell camp, it looks like our price point will put us in the 2004-2006ish range, and I see that spans a couple "generations"...don't know the significance of that, but I'm sure I'll learn.  :Smile  (Note:  I do know that Tiffin/Newmar & Newell are totally different animals, so don't mean to imply otherwise.)

Sorry for the long introduction, but figured that a little bit of our backstory couldn't hurt.  Glad to be here...

        I have a large air leak coming from this. I'm not quite sure what the real name is, but it's between the supply air line and the 6-pack in the engine compartment. It's not the original but one replaced on the road 9 years ago. I need to source one from somewhere.

After 17 years of owing Newell 89, 96, and 2004 i will be traveling by car and pick-up now. I have taken my coach to Motorhomes of Texas for them to sale and it should be on their site soon. The coach is in excellent condition with many upgrade and inprovements. I look forward to staying in touch with all of my friend I have met from my Newell ownership. Will be at the Guru Rally in Bella Terra, but will be staying in a house on the beach.

Hi all,

Just joined up as a result of reaching the conclusion that we aren't going to be satisfied with any other RV for our full timing vision. That puts us between a rock and a hard place; between those lenders who won't accommodate full timing and a debt/income ratio that's higher than is acceptable by those who will, we are left looking for a lease/purchase contract opportunity to make our dream come true. So if any of you who are selling coaches in the 2000-2004 range, and would like to transform your asset that you no longer need into a revenue stream and make more than you would over the term of the agreement than you would by selling it outright, we'd love to hear from you. I can be reached on 480-404-8876.

Looking forward to gaining the benefit of your experience and wisdom once we get on the road. Thanks for listening.

Bob Hughey
