A used Newell, what do you think?
I'd like your thoughts on the Newell's from lets say 2002 to 2006? Would you consider an 8 to 12 years old Newell ? American builds a great coach with its Eagle and Heritage brands and Entegra has ...

For those wondering why a 1,000,000 mile chassis is of interest to anyone, I have a Country Coach Prevost conversion with about 370,000 miles on the odometer. I still drive 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year. Somethings are more expensive but some things are not. I just had my 12V alternator go out (I also have a 24V alternator) and I bought a replacement at NAPA for $125 an installed it myself.
Oil is oil, filters are filters but there might be a few more quarts or a few more filters. If the tires are the same size the replacement costs are exactly the same and if your roof A/C goes bad it's quite likely the exact same unit whether it's a high end 5th wheel, Country Coach or a Prevost conversion. You just need to look at what you have, what you want and more than anything else, if the floor plan works for you!
Mr. Mark has ordered a $2 million dollar Liberty Prevost with stainless steel chassis and kevlar body panels. While that's an excellent coach, the Newell's should not be discounted. They are excellent coaches with excellent support and a wide range of owners throughout the Country. I would not hesitate to pick up an older Newell as you are describing and I would select one of these over most any of the other plastic coaches no matter the price range.
Old Newell vs. new King Aire? Absolutely the old Newell!
