Was putting a tire back on the tow vehicle and found this chart. Thought it would be helpful for others.

After the rally we're headed to Iowa, then south thru Missouri, then to Miami for sight-seeing, north texas and back to Colorado..Any suggestions for "must see" or "dos" when traveling this area? We have my family reunion in northwest Iowa as the only planned event and then were looking at spending a couple days in Kirksville, Mo (just cause it looked like a neat small town) any ideas, experiences, or suggestions would be appreciated..

Bill

Hi all!

We've been gathering information for our next life adventure for almost two years now. There's been a ton of self education as well as the chance to come across some really great people.

We're close to purchasing our very first (and certainly last) RV. We were originally leaning towards Country Coaches, but walked into a 2007 Newell and new this was something special.

We're hoping to purchase this year, and have found some coaches come close to covering not only our "must haves" but our "would be really nice."
I've learned a ton about Newells...and have become somewhat addicted (seems to be a popular affliction!).

We live in S. CA (take a guess where), and hope for several more years of long weekends and trips to visit the kids in college....then taking months to seeing the USA.

So right now, color me a "Newell - wanna be" owner.

Greetings to all!

Mark

And just can't help myself. Yesterday Cindy and I put down a deposit on that 1998 2 slide at Motorhomes of Texas.
We'll trade in our '93 so that will make the transition much easier. They will be putting on new tires today or tomorrow and fixing a few minor things. So hopefully tomorrow or Friday we can move in.

My son is in his first year of college and was talking about hydrogen engines. They have appearently discussed this topic in his chemistry class. Anyway for kicks I googles the subject and found this site below. I sent them an email and asked how much of an improvement in mileage one could expect and is there any chance of harming an engine (especially since I just paid so much to fix mine). You guys ever hear of such a thing before:

    Hello,
Wanted to mention to forum here that there are marker lights indentical to the ones on 2011/2012 Newells and I am in process changing them on my 2001 Newell

They are made to last some 50.000 hrs plus and totally eald system.
One problem I ran was that spacing bold holes are more like 5 " apart , not 4 inches , so I used 3M tape on one end and bolt on other.
I did try drill new hole at 5 " and it worked as well as 3M tape

The lights have very nice and strong LED lights , bright and also very nice finish with chrome framing around .

I looked at all 2012 newells at teh MCC resort where we staying and they looks the same.

I was able to find them for cool $7 each on line at www.superbrightleds.com
I also replaced my rear tail lights , thanks to tom And Ron for good contacts and replacing all interior lights to LED

If anybody is interested...I will have 4 tires and wheels for sale off of my 2005 #722 Newell, as soon as I upgrade to the 365 wide tires on the front and tag. The tires are Michelin XZA 2's,
315/80 R22.5's, and are like new with 2011 date stamps on them, and approx 5000 miles on them, and are spin balanced and ready to install on your coach. I will take 600.00 each for them ( tire and wheel). I will be bringing them back to Alabama from Newell, or can leave them there for you to pick up, if they are closer to you. Let me know if you are interested..Thanks...Johnny 334 224-5063

Does anyone know anything about the subject coach? Supposedly, an updated 2002 chassis in 2007. Seller states $400K spent on updates? The coach has over 180K miles on it! I like it but I'm a little concerned about the mileage.

Question: Is there access to the rear bath with the slides retracted without crawling over the bed?

Here's the link> http://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2002-New...-107057302

Thanks
