As I mentioned, I am looking at vintage coaches. There is just something about the classic "old school" luxury motorcoaches that appeals to me. Plus, with the use we plan on giving it (at least for the next few years), spending hundreds of thousands of dollars or more on a coach just doesn't make financial sense.
I've read quite a few posts here even before joining and did watch that video the other day on Newell construction methods currently in use but I wasn't clear how much had changed. Thanks for the info on that.
Jeff...first of all, love watching your videos on Gino's Garage, they've been a great source of knowledge during this quest and as a self-taught "shade tree mechanic", I'd find them interesting even if I wasn't looking for a coach. I'm in NE Georgia, not too far from Athens. Since you own both a Wanderlodge and a Newell, other than the weight difference, can you share your thoughts on safety, durability and reliability of the Wanderlodge all-steel compared to the Newell? Are there any significant differences in build/material quality and ease of servicing the chassis and all of its components?
Thanks again!
