Newel 1989 #197 - Capt Laurence - 04-13-2026

    Well I did get a newell after years of wanting one. Finnaly found one that was cared for all of its life. Have every oil change every part and everywere it went in its long life. it looks like the picture the factory sent me from when it was delevered. 
Being a mr fix it. I went over every nook and cranny. I have had 2 other Class A but never found anything built like this.  Has thing like Halon fire suppression system in genrator space.  And more things that I have never seen. All great.

Another person asked what should you expect to spend (in addion to the purchase).
Here are some of the things i did:
Changed all oils axel differental engine  (about $3000)
new tires $7000 8 of them (they just hit 5 years)
I was lucky the air bags were changed by the last owner
Had one engine code that was a small thing
Wiper blades and back up camera

I had to replace the air compresser for the house (i was lucky i found it on facrbook marketplace)

it was about what I expected to spend on a well maintained rig.

i am looking foward to sending 2 months this year going west.

If I can help anyone from my learning process contact me

Some other guru’s have added a temp sender on the bank opposite the bank monitored.. 

I owned an 1989 and have a few ac components that I’d love to give you!  A condensing unit and an evaporator squirrel cage fan.  I think there is a new tag air spring aka bag.  You’re welcome to them.

Welcome to the group, my first thought was a 92 Newell that was at auction in MI, I really like the simplicity of the systems but we did not get the coach we were outbid. There is one guru here that has done some great stuff to his classic coach.
