Just joined Newell guru's today. We are strongly considering building a new Newell coach as we have been talking to a salesman at their location in Indio, CA. We toured two new coaches and found both to be beautiful. I have been reading extensively about Prevost coaches thinking we would order one of those. We toured the Newell factory and the Marathon factory about a year and a half ago.
I kept thinking about Newell and there are several things that started to sway me. First, the larger engine, 600 hp vs. 500 in the Prevost. I like having window awnings for privacy and shade (generally not seen on a Prevost). I also like the option of a mid-entry door but I have one problem with it. If the bay door behind the entry door is open, the entry door will get stuck or damaged. If I were outside and open the bay door for some reason and someone wants to come outside, I see a problem. So, I'm wondering if I should stick with a front entry. I thought it would be nice to come out under an awning as the front doors don't have any cover (if raining).
