Weight, structural stability and flexibility are the devils that plague all aircraft, automobile, truck, boat and RV manufacturers. Add to that the wide variety of conditions that owners subject these vehicles to and it is amazing that they hold up as well as they do. My mind boggles that I am able to walk out into the driveway, turn the key and expect to drive across this great nation with all the conveniences of home with minimal and no issues that impede my progress in a vehicle that was designed and constructed 23 years ago. I can just imagine what would happen to the systems in my house if they were subjected to the twisting, vibration and strain that my Newell experiences on every trip.
I have put my Newell into some positions that I know resulted in significant stress, such as dragging the rear on a drive approach that required a steeper angle of departure than my coach, even with manual lowering the front and raising the rear, was capable of handling (wrecker truck provided the needed effort to get me out of that one). Hopefully, a solution to those affected by this problem can be determined. It certainly appears that Newell, as always, is diligent in working on the issue.
I applaud all of you for sharing your solutions with the rest of us. The Newell community continues to grow through your insight and support.
