Roy, I have owned both, and I now own a 99 Newell and have owned a 02 Foretravel and I live in Nacogdoches.  I cannot compare the later models you are asking about but in the earlier one that I have owned, I prefer the Newell.  They both drive very good, but will have to say the Newell with independent front suspension drives slightly better.  There is no better quality than a Newell, because they use only the best of everything.  I really like an all electric coach. Their Aqua Hot is the largest and best of all.  As I said they do not skimp on anything.  Their customer service is excellent and their service while at their home in Miami, OK. is great.  You could eat off the floor, it is kept that clean and they will let you live in the coach while working on it and even watch and ask question.  There is only one quality Newell.  They do not build lower to upper end in quality.  All I can say is once you have owned a Newell you compare everything else to it regardless to the age Newell you own.  I hope this helps.
