Welcome Mike,
I have done extensive work/modifications on both travel trailers and two Newells. The construction of a Newell is unique and VERY superior to any other motorhome brand I have researched over the years. Everyone places a different priority on safety, reliability, ease of service, interior décor, colors, floorplan, etc. Generally the appliances and components in a Newell should last 20 years depending on time in service and preventive maintenance done.
I would suggest that you take a Newell factory tour.
There is a good description of their construction methods on the Newellcoach.com web-site as well. That is probably the best way to see the construction techniques short of deconstructing/rebuilding one as I have!!
