Due to my advancing age and worn out joints, I think it is time to put the coach up for sale. It has 118,000 miles, 2,560 hrs. on the generator, and many upgrades and replacements. We are on the Oregon Coast for a month then returning to the Phoenix area at the end of September. If anyone is interested, email me,
[email protected], and I will send a list of changes and photos of the coach.

Chester, I am seriously considering doing the same thing. What I have been thinking about is downsizing. I think you and I are the oldest ones of the gurus. I have not made up my mine completely yet, because I really love my Newell. Good luck on your decision. You will be missed.

Don't have to a coach to remain friends! It has to be a tough decision and one we all
May face. Someone will get a nice coach!

Tom still lets me come around despite my having a 26' LazyDaze.
But sorry to see you both considering selling. We tried not having a coach for a couple years by renting houses and condos. It was fun but we ended up missing the motorhome. The 26'er will allow us to get into all of the smaller places the Newell wouldn't fit. But yes we do miss the luxury and comfort of a Newell.

Chester,
Will miss seeing you at the rallies. You are one of the all star GURUs. Someone will get a great coach. I had inquired on your coach back in 2009/10. It's a beauty--a real eye catcher.
PS Many of us wish we were 68 again..............................
