Hello,
My name is Russ Davis, I have been a silent but observant member, on the Newell Gurus, for some time now. My wife Debbie and I are recent, June'13, fulltime travelers from Ohio and have owned several motorhomes in our nineteen years of camping. We have owned, for the last five years, a 1999 Freightliner Century Class 8 semi-truck converted in 2006 to a 40' Motorhome. We bought the rig from the builder who has converted about a dozen used over-the-road tractors in the last few years as a hobby and does a nice job! We are considering upgrading to a Newell as research has convinced us they are arguably the best built, reliable rigs on the road today! Rig #428 the 38' Newell built in 1996 that you folks saw on Ebay awhile back is owned, app. 7-8 yrs., by my wifes' cousin in Az..We had been around the bus off & on for the time he had owned it, and I asked if he decided to sell, I would appreciate first dibs on purchase. Well, in the process of getting final closing on properties in Ohio, downsizing and preparing Truck for F/T travel,etc. he calls and says he's selling and wants to know if we are still interested…well,yeah but…can't hardly sell truck as we are leaving Ohio in a few days. So I told him if he could sell, go ahead and I would advertise ours as we were heading West and would be in Az. in fall and could negotiate then or whatever. Well, he nor I, have sold, but after seeing rig in person again last night, I am considering a consignment company in Phoenix or Tucson and accepting his great offer for his bus! I like the size and although I know most of you are believers in 45' and slides, I just can't get over the maintenance problems I've heard war stories about slide units. We like smaller units and as few problems as we can have! If anyone has any comments on his rig, besides what I've heard,fastest Newell ever built, molehills out of Mtns. and owned as an office previously, I would appreciate. Thanks, Russ

Any thoughts???

This is my favorite year Newell with my favorite floorplan. I like how the fairing with the built-in Girards hide the roof stuff. Steerable tag, four slides, four roof airs, front entry and only 60,000 miles. Doesn't get much better than this.
