Purchasing a 2022 Newell. Does anyone know if these coaches can be retrofitted with dynamic cruise either by factory or third party?  Our last Class A had it and I am a slave to it

Congrats!!

Not sure which number you're getting, but that's not important.  Fact is, over the years, Newell has been resistant to adaptive cruise control for numerous reasons.  I know guys who have their 23 and 24's WITHOUT it.

Not much convincing you otherwise, since you had it before, so forgive me while I just voice some suggestions then that may help you.  I've had this discussion at Newell quite a bit.  It's not really a plug-n-play install and they've been pretty resistive towards it in the past.  So, CAN it be ADDED after the fact?  This is America, baby, and is only a matter of throwing money at the problem!  But they've said there is a LOT to it....so my guess is they won't "want" to do it on any existing coach.

On the other hand, it may be worthwhile to poll a few of the newest owners who are REALLY driving...and not just parked at a resort.  A Newell's drivetrain, jake, etc. etc. is a bit of a different breed and many owners feel the Adaptive CC is not a good feature to have.  I can tell you the #1 complaint I hear, and that is that the ACC will react too aggressively every time someone pulls in front of you and cuts off that "defensible space" (as I call it).  This not only scrubs off your speed, but also may cause unneeded braking.

Hope this gives you some good feedback.
