Considerable TLC has gone into this coach, and I’m a little surprised to find myself parting with it. But Heidi and I are changing our travel choices for the foreseeable future, and I’m ready to see someone else take over this amazing machine.
The history of 579 is found throughout the Forums, as Chester Stone and I have shared our learning experiences. Reading Chester’s posts gave me the courage to take on his project for my own. I’d encourage anyone who is interested to do the same.
Anticipating FAQs, here are the basics:
2001 Newell Coach
VIN 1N9458X8111011579
45’-8”
126,000 miles
Detroit Diesel 60 Engine, 2-stage Jake brake, Allison 6-speed
Upgrades and recent work
- Front tires are the 365 upgrade (all Michelins)
- Front and rear caps repainted, original Imron on aluminum sides/roof very good.
- Front salon floor replaced with French oak
- House batteries 600 AH BattleBorn lithiums
- The dinette has been removed to make room for a desk or regular dining table.
I’ll provide “warts and all” description of all system conditions. Everything on the coach works, and it takes a bit of work to keep it that way...as everyone in this community knows.
Please see attached floor plan and build sheet, and contact me directly for additional photos, information, and endless detail.
I feel that a fair offer would be somewhere near $150,000, but feel free to disabuse.
Looking forward to any and all comments.
Cheers,
Chuck
