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 ...

Yes, I'm the resident expert (dodging Lemon Pies).... Anyway, you can still order a mid-door coach from Newell. Actually, there is a guy with a Prevost with a mid-door that was customized. His original entry is still there but covered up and could be re-opened if needed.
Back to Newell. They are gorgeous without a doubt and as a used coach, it just couldn't get better for the 'bang for the buck'.
The only negative about the mid door is that you will lose pass-through storage in that area. You will not gain it up front but you will get a little bit of additional storage up there.
The new Newell's have bi-fold swing up doors that stick out about 6-8 inches at the top of the bay opening. And, since the new Newell's have pneumatic doors that are automatic and hug the side of the coach when opening, I wondered if someone left the bay door hinged upwards behind the main door, if it would open? Seems like a safety issue too but I'm sure that there is a way around it. I didn't search it because by that time, I was interested in Prevost.
Safe travels,
