If you will take a minute to tell us about your intended use, your mechanical and electrical comfort level, and why Newell, then we will be able to tailor answers to suit your situation

Looking forward to working with you!

I am planning some shorter trips with the coach this year. I hope to visit Oshkosh Wisconsin for the big airshow at the end of July and also visit some road course race tracks around the mid west this season. Once I get a little more familiar with it we will plan an extended family trip out west for summer 2027. 
I did not want a cookie cutter coach so I quickly narrowed my search to Newell, Wanderlodge, and Prevost. I wanted plenty of horsepower and a pre-emissions engine. The Wanderlodges seem to be very well engineered and high quality but they are not aging as well as a similar model year Newell. The lack of factory support was also a concern. The Prevost coaches in the $100-150k range seem to lack space and features that a similar age and price point Newell would have. I am also interested in motorsports and growing up I would see the coaches at the Indy car races and always thought the Newell's stood out as top choice. 
I am in the logistics industry so I am around heavy duty trucks all the time. I am not afraid to do lots of maintenance myself and I have good contacts locally for some heavy lifting items that I couldn't tackle on my own.
