Before weighing in I’d recommend you do two things.  Read as much of the information as you can consume in the section titled Discussion about what to consider on buying a used Newell and then fill us in on a little bit about yourself with information like is this ‘23 your first RV purchase, how mechanically inclined are you, do you have experience with maintaining other things like boats, yachts, planes, etc?

Hi.  While this is our first DP our last coach was a 2012 Seneca Super C.  Been rv'ing for 20+ years.  I do the oil changes on the Seneca and service the gen, done a water pump replacement on it, just put a new roof coating on it, etc.  Fairly mechanically inclined and have tools.  I'm a retired General Contractor, with a C7 (low voltage license) I've done large solar arrays (.246 MW) design and installs and fairly good with both AC & DC power.  I don't plan on doing the oil changes on the pusher...I'll go to Speedco as it's too much waste oil to deal with.
I feel comfortable doing anything house related, cabinets, doors, plumbing, basic electrical and roof work.  I put a water conditioner in the new coach running pex lines from the wet bay to a bay in the front part of the coach where the conditioner unit is installed.  
I know I could keep the new coach and deal with problems as they arise but I didn't throw down $600+k to do that.  I could have purchased this same coach a few years used for $200k less and it would have been far more reliable...we got a lemon. We've been at the factory now since 9/19 and it will be another few days before its done.

I did my research on pre-covid units starting back in 2020 talking to many different owners of 2018 to 2020's who had few issues that were out of the ordinary for an RV of this caliber.  As I said, we just got a lemon.  We showed up at the factory here with 80+ issue punch list.  Everything from pluming to chassis had issues from day one.  This coach should not have left the factory for delivery.

But now I'm just ranting again!   It's been a trying 5 months!
