Hi,

I've been reading here for quite a while and registered an account so I could ask about this coach.  I tried to search, but I guess I need a class on how to search.  when I search #678 or just 678, I'm told that I don't have enough letters in my search.  So I haven't found anything.

Here's the sale link:
https://www.rvt.com/buy/details/2003-new...8259c7411/

I've spent about a year preparing for this, and I want to go at least semi full-time in the next year.  I've narrowed my search to a 2000-2005 Newell or a 2007-2010 Foretravel Nimbus or Phenix.

The thing that puzzles me about this coach is that there is no co-pilot chair?  I'm not sure why.  I'm also not sure if it could be added.  I know everything is built to order, just not sure why someone would order that?  Or maybe it got removed?  I suspect the photos are not showing everything but before I make a trip, i thought I'd ask some basic questions.  My hope is that someone knows this coach and can encourage/discourage me depending on the situation.  I've studied and learned a lot, but there is so much I do not know.

Any advice is appreciated!  Happy to give more info, just don't really know where to start!

Thanks!  
Mark

The latest Andrew Steele video on Newell, covers some of the 2027 model year technology changes Newell has implemented.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8xRIFTrw0I

Included is moving from the Intrepid Coach Management System to the Compass Coach Management System, making Lithium batteries standard, installing two 5,000 watt inverters, increasing the usage of 3D printing for custom parts, expanding the N1 solid state power distribution center to the chassis side and many others.

Saw a dark brown Newell with a few black swirls with a white toad (Jeep) between Canton and Candler on the I40 at 5:30 this afternoon July17th 2026

Always looking out for Newell sightings

Always wonder if our fellow Newell owners roam the site

Just a quick note to say hello...

Lurked without logging in for a while and now I'm here.

Currently a Foretravel owner and have been looking for our next coach for a while. Always figured we'd end up with one more Foretravel and then move to a Prevost. Used Newell coaches keep popping up in front of me so - educate, debate, and decide if maybe a Newell fits into that mix?! 

I have so many questions on the evolution of the Newell build, options, how & why some things exist, etc.

Don't be too tough on me - I do love my Foretravel!

I have a 2002 Newell coach 622 in Miami, Oklahoma. It has four slides. There is extensive water damage and slide out damage. The engine has a little over 100,000 miles on it, generator has low hours. It was a show coach. It has the grill, extensive extras. It should be sold for salvage parts in my opinion. It would need to be towed out of the Newell storage lot as soon as possible. I have the title. This is an extremely sad situation and I wish I did not have to do this. I can be texted at 440-465-3979.

Hello everyone I recently joined the group and I am taking possession of 351 and the next coming weeks

I have been following a lot of of you guys’s post and I am extremely happy that I found this website. I have some experience with the Diesel pusher as I solo traveled in a 2005 Alfa gold 39’ Diesel pusher for about 2 1/2 years it was nice, but this thing is like 1000 times better. 

it’s in a little bit of rough shape as it has sat for about six years I believe  the motor sounds beautiful, but pretty much nothing on it works lol maybe one of the ACs out of the three, but I think with you guys’s help in a little bit of money ((maybe a lot)) I can get her back on the road. She already has brand new tires.

I’m hoping to find someone who is mechanically inclined in the Texas area before I go long distance. I’d like to see what I can do by myself and then I would love to maybe go buy someone else that is like way more knowledgeable on all the systems to see if maybe they can help :-).


As you can see some of the pipes are busted :-(I’m guessing they forgot to winterize it when the father got sick Only thing I could get to work was one of the ACs two of them are still pretty warm, but I was using a 5000 W Ot Gen Generator because I couldn’t get the 17.5 on board Generator working, but I suspect it’s because the batteries are too low and it’s not enough fuel so I think once I put the new batteries in there and put some diesel in there, then I can start troubleshooting the generator.

I'm the new (2nd owner) of built 770 (2006 model 450) and can't seem to find the in/out control for the stair well cover. My coach is a mid coach layout. Anyone have a suggestion or any other similar models out there where is your in/out button for the stair cover?

So in the extreme hot months I have noticed a increase of heat in the rear bedroom and rear closet area.  I have looked all over the rear engine compartment and all the heat blankets are in place on the walls and top of engine cover. Motor is running at 185-190 degrees at all times. Tires are at correct pressures.  blankets are on the turbo and pipes. Hard to keep rear bedroom cool on a 6-8 hour drive. Any suggestions to look at ?? Im wondering if the removable  floor to access motor is sucking in heat,,,
