My wife and I are considering putting our beloved '89 Coach up for sale, and would like to know if there is any interest out there. We have just moved into a year-round home in Northern Maine, and we believe that our long-term road trips may be at an end. It might be time for someone else to enjoy our coach. We purchased it used, at the factory in 2003, and are its second owners. We lived in the coach full time for the better part of ten years. Throughout this period, we have spent a minimum of 7 months a year in the coach; so it has been our home. 

     Ever since our purchase, we have maintained the coach at the Newell factory on an almost annual basis. We have had the engine and transmission maintained by a Detroit Diesel dealer. We have also taken it to a suspension and frame shop (Tampa Spring), almost yearly for the past 6 or 7 years for preventative maintenance. Over the past 14 years of our ownership, we have authorized virtually all repairs and services recommended by these experts. Newell technicians have told us that it is in remarkably good condition. It runs well, and is a true joy to travel in.

     The coach was a show coach in 1989, and the last of the Classic breed. It is 102" wide, 40 ft long. Engine is the original Detroit 8V92T: a clean one that doesn't leak oil. Total mileage is about 240,000 miles. The Allison transmission was rebuilt by Detroit Diesel in 2007. The coach features a YanMar 12KW diesel generator. Tankage is 375 gal diesel, 110 gal fresh water, 120 gal black. There are two joey beds in the basement, an 18' Zip Dee patio awning and four window awnings. Tires (24.5" - 6 Michelin, 2 Bridgestone on Tag): four are 4 yrs old, three are 5 yrs old, and one is 6 yrs old: all with good tread.

     The interior is white formica. The front salon includes a Villa leather couch (2009), a dinette, bookcase, file drawers, and a leather Euro chair and ottoman (2009). Kitchen is spacious. The bathroom is mid coach, and is about 8' X 8'. The queen bed is in the rear. The coach has a Splendid washer/dryer (2003). Everything is in full working order. 

     The coach is cooled by three basement split air conditions which Newell can service. For heating, in addition to numerous electric heaters, Newell just installed three new Atwood furnaces to replace the original Suburbans.  

     The coach features full air suspension and levelling. Weighing about 40,000 lbs loaded, it is fast in acceleration, it cruises easily at 70-75 MPH, and it rides on a cloud. 

     We are located on a lake in Northern Maine, and our coach is here with us, in our heated barn. It is available for a visit now, and we expect to drive it to Washington DC in early May.     

     We have owned two Newells over a total of 25 years, and have greatly enjoyed the quality that was built in and the committment to quality and friendliness of the outstanding people at the Newell factory. Things work better in our coach today than they do in many new coaches we visit on the sales lots. We aren't yet sure that we want to make this move at all; but it will help to know whether we can find a good home for our coach.

     All photos were taken over the last year.

I'm not at all sure how to insert photos here, so I am going to post this and then try to post photos later.

Hi, my name is roger I just bought coach #588 . I have been rving for 36 years last year we went full time . I have converted a Mci bus and restored a 2002 allegro bus. But I think the Newell will really be fun hope to make it to the upcoming m rally.

Just tried running my generator slide out key in acc park brake set slide went out a few inches now when I try to move it sounds like it's trying to move but won't go in or out stuck out about 2 inches

I have the steering column removed at the moment and think it might be  the  perfect time to replace this valve  which has a small leak on the push pull shaft. I think the valve might be a generic  item.1 inlet, 1 exhaust, and  2 outputs. The 5 words that get me in trouble "how hard could it be?" Is this job as,simple as it looks? Please save me from myself.....

Hi Gang,
Does anyone know what the little speakers are for under the drivers side console and passenger console? On the drivers side hidden underneath is also a on/off rheostat. Could these have been for the original CB?
Thanks for any response.

002 Mfg 1983

Saw this classic lady from the street passing by the rv  park. Late 70's ? Might be in restoration.  No one at home.  New tires  all around.  Saw a Cummins engine  through the engine compartment vents.  Note the cool front arrow turn signals.

4 slide,P2000i, rear bath with vanity and shower only, mid-bath with vanity and toilet. Murphy bed with 2 recliners in rear. Custom curved dining bar lieu of standard dinette. 239,000 miles, 8893 hours on generator. Front entry. $329,000

Anyone here flat towed a Hummer H2? If so did you ever try using the center receiver hitch? I am trying to figure a way to make this work. We can use the tow hooks and a V hitch but was looking at the receiver for simple strong attachment point.
