My wife & I toured the factory yesterday.   Wow.  We have owned an 88 Vogue on a Crown Bus chassis and a 96 U320 Foretravel.  Time to move up to a Newell.  

Looking for any info / comments / help as this will be our first time as full timers.  Planning to full time for a few years.  Road trips about once per month. with 3 weeks at each destination.  I work (part time casual) in Oklahoma City, OK and have a site available here.  When not working here we will be on the road enjoying our coach.  Occasionally, two grandsons will travel with us.

Budget range $200-400K range.  Thanks.

http://www.trucktrend.com/truck-reviews/...013-2020p/

Interesting article with some photos I have not seen before. If anyone is aware of the coach number for the unit reviewed, please let me know.
Both P200i's and 2020p's were built in 2013. I know this coach has to be between 1464 and 1474. I suspect it is either 1473 or 1464 or 1465. 

1464 and 1465 may be P2000i's so if anyone runs across either of those two coaches, I would love to nail down exactly when the transition occurred from the P2000i to the 2020p. I know 1466-4565 were 2020p's.

I've read the posts regarding the Microflush toilets and haven't seen this issue addressed.  My other half keeps complaining of toilet smells coming from the water closet (toilet room), whether or not it's been recently used (I have a bad sniffer, so I don't necessarily notice the smell).  After reading said posts and scanning the owner's manual, I don't see how smells from the holding tank can work their way into the bathroom, expecially when the toilet hasn't been recently used.  We keep everything very clean, including frequent flushing of the holding tank. 

Any ideas/suggestions???

For sale:

2 front hub covers
4 mounting brackets
1 plastic backing ring

One hub cover is nearly new, the other has the minor swirl marks expected after many years of washing. Both are dent and ding free.

Two of the mounting brackets are new, never installed. The other pair are used but still in good functional condition.

The back up ring is new.

I'm thinking $200 For everything, but am open to offers. Please pm if interested.

Last night mine quit passing through ac power . Switched to invert mode and drained the batteries. I just wired around the inverter and all inverter circuits are working normally now. Also added a battery charger to the chassis batteries and merged them with the house.  Any idea why the pass thru would go bad? Can't find a reset button and have cut all power and turned off batteries in an attempt to reset.. did my inverter just go bad? I have a xantrex 3012

Discovered another Newell today at Holiday Travel Park in Chattanooga. 2nd Newell in ten days ! No one was home. This one looks to be brand new. Absolutely gorgeous. We have decided the easiest way to identify a Newell from the side is to look at the slides if they are extended. No one does it like Newell. A work of art. I have attached a pic and will stop by the coach tomorrow if they are home.

The December 2017 issue of Family Motor Coaching magazine has a feature article on the Newell P50 followed by a three page article "Newell Coach Corporation: The First 50 Years". Both are an excellent read.
