Kevin, you are at the beginning of the right age bracket for a Newell with a Series 60 and no slides. There were a few early 1995's with the 8V92 but most, including this one, had the Series 60. The first Newell with a slide was #436, the next to the last 1996 model. About 1/2 of the 1997 models had no slides with the remainder having 1 or 2 slides.
The twin front couches are a rarity during that time period. Most had a single couch with a recliner and a cabinet mounted to the wall opposite the couch. Less than 15-20% had twin couches.
As to Hasting's Humpy, the partial raised roof, was a result of a suggestion from a long time Newell owner. With the shift from the 8V92 to the taller Series 60, the headroom in the rear of the coach had to be reduced. Hasting recommmended increase the headroom over the bedroom by raising the roof line over the bath and bedroom. You will find a number of Newells with the partially raised roof beginning around #382.
