[Junior Guru]

Hi folks,

I am very happy to join the nutty Newell clan!

For a reason I can't put my finger on I decided to jump right into RVing and bought a 2003 newell a few months ago. I procrastinated for over a year until my wife reminded me that if I didn't make a move soon another summer would go by and our kids (4 and 7) would be another year closer to realizing how not cool we are.

So, I zeroed in on a newell seeing how the factory is 3 hours from my house. I bought coach 665 in Indio, CA in April and drove it to Kansas City. It's been really fun...and expensive! I must be the newell service customer of the summer with all I've spent in Miami. Let's just say I'm turning some of my own wrenches now!

My personal RV dream.... If I were to ever win the lottery, I would buy a vintage newell and spend a $mil redoing it and turning it into the baddest RV on the planet!

I ran into marc newman and bill johnson this weekend at Waters Edge, Grand Lake OK and they invited me here to newell gurus. I was with a bunch of family and didn't get much of a chance to visit. But I've actually been snooping around newell gurus for a while.

When my son said our camping trip to CO was "way better than Disneyland", I felt like everything I've spent and done has been worth it.

I can't wait to meet some of you folks!
