I saw my first Newell (a 1987 40' w/tag) 5 or 6 years after I sold it. It was parked in an oilfield company's parking lot in Lafayette, LA.
I stopped by and asked if I could see the inside, after getting permission I walked inside. It looked very much like it did when I sold it in 1997. Seeing it brought back some great memories! I loved that coach.
Your first Newell is like your first girlfriend ....... remember going steady for the first time!

I just bought a 1974 35 foot Coach, is it your old one? I'm looking for information on it if it is. Love it and we are getting ready to restore it.
Thanks,
Roy...

My old '78 Classic was purchased by a gentleman who is the historian for the RV/MH Hall of fame Museum in Elkhart, IN. He is traveling most of the time doing RV history presentations at RV rallys. It's cool to see how it is being used and enjoyed rather than sitting in somebody's back yard.

Jimmy, when you did your steps on your old classic wasn't there a hinge on the middle step or did you do something different? I am just about to redo mine and thers a hinge on the outside of the second step and they lift up for storage underneath but it makes it hard to put flooring on. This is a pic of the ones you did, nice job.

No, no storage in the 74' but I'm pretty sure you could do a work-around without much problem... Keep us posted!
You might try moving the hing to the inside...
