Hey everyone, we are Chris and Paula.  We just bought a 2002 Newell series 450. We bought it from an original owner, been stored inside for over 20 years and used very little.  Has just over 17000 km on it which is around 10000 miles.  Yes 10k!   Has many problems that stem from siting.  I’ll be asking be asking for help once we get it home this week.

Welcome Chris and Paula I've never seen a Newell with a speedometer that was in kilometers but it doesn't surprise me. That is very low mileage! Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks guys!  
This isn’t my first coach. Previous coach was a 2005 Beaver Monterey. I have lots of experience with working on stuff. I restore old cars and put late model drive lines into them. So I’m very comfortable with this sort of stuff. 
There are definitely some unique features on these coaches,  we are from Vancouver Canada  
I look forward to getting some help from you guys with some of the issues

It was a Canadian build that explains the Kilometer speedo, Chris you will fit right in here post some pictures when you can.

I pick the coach up on Monday. I’ll definitely post pictures once I get it in my hands.
