Elaine and I have been involved as beta testers on a new social media site that we are very excited about....a site that enables us to connect with friends, as well as like minded people while we are on the road. The new site is called RVillage and can be found at www.rvillage.com. When you have time, check it out and let us know what you think. I have created a "Newell Owners" group there. A very informative article about this new site can be found here.

We registered Clarke and the website works badly. It took forever to get "located" no matter what city entered and could never get past that point on a dozen different try's. Will look at it again when it may be operating better.

Be sure, after you register, to go into page 3 of "GROUPS" and join "Newell Owners"......or you can just click "
HERE" and it will take you to that page.

won't work for me at all. keeps clouding the screen and asks for city,state. I enter Miami, florida or any city and it returns me to the same screen over and over.

Signed on, the location thing is a bit awkward I agree

Speaking of forums, I log onto Luxury Coach Lifestyles ever day, and it is rare that there is a posting. It seem that the site is almost extinct.

Interesting: last year when we became very interested in Newell and began to think of leaving Prevost of all things. I began to read and look at the Newell Blogs. The luxury coach site has been very quite pretty much the whole time. This forum appears to be getting busier as time goes by. The Prevost sites were more active and it took me a while to think about the fact that there are a lot more of those then Newell's out there. It also seemed there were a heck of a lot less trouble shooting going on. I think is also related to the numbers. We are however looking towards a coach that we can go out in and not have to fix something every time we disembark.

You're right Chester, all the posting traffic is definitely here now.
