I am in the process of buying the 2 acres next to me and building a storage building with some living quarters in it for my Gardner/father in lawSmile I could really use some advice on size, options and must have ,have nots.. I'm considering 60x100 with the 60 side facing the street and the first 20 of the 100 feet length building living quarters. I'm thinking four 12 foot wide 15 foot high doors per side to create 4 "bays" I'd like to be able to park the coach and pull thru from both sides so I don't have to back in. I also want to be able to park a stacker trailer and my boat in another bay and the third bay for toys and yard equipment.. The 4 th bay I guess we can call future growth.lol

In the Newell bay I'll have power and dump station along with water plus I'll put in an overhead washer hose that can go all the way around the coach from the ceiling. I currently have a double slide but want to have room for a quad with the slides open.

Should I make it a free standing or have poles and divide it up. I'll insulte the whole thing and install some over head heaters.. Not real concerned on the ac part.

So comments and if anyone has some pricing experience it would be appreciated.

Does the generator fuel return go to the aux tank? Want to isolate the the aux tank and run off road diesel in it if so.

Has anyone had a pocket door go part-way open and then stop? My galley door closes every time, but on open it sticks with about 8" still to go.

I have a separate air meter for the pocket doors and the air pressure is set at about 40 psi. (Any more than this and the closet door makes a large pop noise on closing and will not work until I lower the pressure).

Any thoughts?

If I remove the refrigerator, I can probably observe what is going on, but don't want to do that until I understand more about the method of operation of these doors.

Cheers,
bill

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are new owners of a 1988 Newell. Drove it home last weekend from Tx, and couldn't be more pleased. And while this is our first coach/motor home experience, we did live in a 5th wheel for quite some time years ago, however there is no comparison....

We almost bought Wonderlodge a few weeks ago - then I ran across a Newell while looking @ Wonderlodges. All I'll say is we bought a Newell. Big Grin

We'll be 90%er's as we have a home in SW Mo but now working in western Oklahoma, and just didn't want a second 'house'. Sure seems like the Newell is giving us the best of both worlds plus a whole new one.

If someone wants to let me know how to find the coach # ( last 3/4 of the VIN? ) I'll pass that on.

Hello everyone. We have to pick a place for our 2014 Rally.

I would like to propose that we get together in the Ozarks in Arkansas.

Steve Bare has done the homework and has met with the folks at

The Ozarks RV Resort at Tablerock Lake. A number of you have stayed there in the past as well.

http://www.ozarks-rvresort-on-tablerock-lake.com

They have first class facilities, a lake with a boat dock, beautiful sites and they are willing to give us a discount. I really appreciate Steve for taking the time to go there and scope it out for us.

The proposed week is the last full week in June. roughly starting the 22nd or 23rd and lasting a full week like last summer in Spearfish.

So many of our Gurus are in that side of the country and it is a great place so we thought it would be a wonderful place to get together again.

It is not possible to make the dates and place be perfect for everyone, but the intent is to make it so those that have kids can come (meaning summer time)

Branson is very close as well for fun things to do.

I contacted a number of places and most didnt seem interested.

Darlene and I love that area and know you would as well.

As usual, having a Newell is not a requirement. Just the willingness to hang out, make new friends, get reaquainted with old ones and have a ball. Of course i am sure i have some things Richard can fix for me as well....

So guru's, what do you think?

Tom and Darlene
