I'm flying out to pickup a new to me 1986 Newell. I've followed Newell for years, however didn't really think I would own one. I'll be driving it back to Florida from Arizona so I should have plenty of time to get to know it. I'm sure I'll be asking questions as I figure things out. I've got a good bit of RV experience, just no Newell experience.

Welcome aboard.
Where is home base in Florida. We are in Inverness. Having an owner do a walk through with you looking at every switch, bay, and components is invaluable.

Thanks I plan to get as much time with the seller as he will give me. I'm staying in a hotel over night so we are fresh the day we go over to go over it. I'm in Marianna an hour west of Tallahassee.

What a trip from AZ to FL, the coach did great. It gave me some time to get to know it and get a rough list of things I want to work on. I'm sure I'll have questions as I get into projects. Thanks for the warm welcome.
