Hi you all,
We own Coach 197, a 1989 Coach. We have been living in the coach for about ten years, although we now spend summers in our home in Maine.
This is our second Newel, the first being a 1978 38.5 footer we purchased in 1995.
We have loved both our Newells. Perhaps 50% of our enjoyment has been in working with the Newell Corporation for service. They have done a great job for us, even in repairing obsolete systems in the coach. We try to get back to the factory annually.
Having done a lot of maintenance ourselves, we are anxious to share experiences and ideas with other owners.
Dick and Maura Quirk

Welcome, Dick and Maura!!
If you don't mind, I would love to have you PM me your VIN number for my records. I have almost all of the 1990 and newer Newell VIN's but very few of the pre-1990 Newell VIN's.

Thank you all for your welcomes. We have already received quite a bit of assistance from folks on Newell Gurus. We should have joined years ago! We look forward to meeting you in the future.
