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 ...

We have a box full of video cassette home movies, buy no longer own, and can no longer buy, anything that will play them.
I just sold my '68 Camaro, equipped with an aftermarket fuel injection system. I provided a windows 2000 laptop that would run the software to monitor, control, and adjust the EFI...
Most of these fancy new rigs can be completely controlled on your iPad with a provided IOS App. Anyone want to bet how useful these things will be in a decade?
I would guess that a decade or 2 old high end motorcoach is just loaded with high end custom IRREPLACEABLE OBSOLETE ELECTRONICS.
Just something to watch for and wonder about.
