Coach Shopping - Canadian eh? - 01-26-2021

Hi there,
I recently joined the site to gain knowledge about Newell Coach's as I am slowly starting to shop for one.  I have owned a deisel pusher coach in recent years but sold it due to lack of use.....I still have kids just finishing up school so leaving for long periods was not an option.  I'd like to get back into traveling with a coach and I want to purchase a well built one, not another production line build.  So my question is, are there any year(s) that a person should be aware of that were prone to issues or problems?  Before I buy I will edjucate myself so there will likely be more questions.
Thanks
Devin

After you have a chance to digest that, then let us know a few things that will help us help you. One, approximate budget. You don’t want folks filling you full of info on mid 90’s coaches if you are about to drop a million, and vice versa. Second, what is your intended use? Weekend and week long trips, full timing in three years, or something in between. This will help folks zero in on what to look for? Third, what is your comfort level with mechanical and electrical stuff. Newells are well built but COMPLICATED machines. Happy owners are ones that enjoy noodling out the problems and implementing the fix. Unhappy owners are ones depending upon Joe the RV tech, who has never seen a Newell, to keep up the systems. Just my .02, and worth what it cost you.
