Hi gurus. Friday morning we fly out to AZ to pick up a 1986 #125 from Mark and Marian, known here as Little, and we will drive her back to Oregon. This will be our first Newell. Wayyy back in 2006 I test drove a '92 and I still remember how well it drove compared to my Rockwood gasser. That deal fell through, but it's been on my mind for a future coach ever since. We are excited to do some land-based traveling again!

That's cool and congratulations.
In calculating travel times, I would budget at least 10 minutes on each stop for talking with admirers and other curious onlookers.
Welcome to the family.

Congratulations on your purchase! I also have a 1986 with parallelogram windows. Now I know that 1986 was a transition year from parallelogram to rectangle windows.
