[77newell]

I had owned a few coaches when I bought the 77 Newell. It had sat for a few years due injuries inflicted during a bull attack on his farm. I had no idea what I was getting into. I spent the equivalent of a full work year getting it to the point reliability while also using it in those early years. Then we moved up to the 93 coach Forest on this site had owned. Better coach but more than enough stuff to keep me busy even when I had enough to do. Then my wife succumbed to cancer and a little over a year later the current woman entered my life. She wasn’t comfortable with the fuel consumption even though she loved the coach. So we traded down to a 2015 Sprinter conversion that I promptly gutted and rebuilt to better meet our needs. She loves it and the 22mpg. There are few repairs and mods to make so after decades of Newell work I’m bored, I really don’t know what to do with myself. There is nothing quite like contorting around the coach leaving a trail of blood to achieve satisfaction.
