NOT meaning to bash Newell but I have owned three Foretravels and can definitely say that the 2000 42' FT handled and drove WAY better than my current 98 Newell. It truly felt like a giant sports car whereas my Newell wanders and is hard to keep on the road at times. Maybe I'm just getting older and maybe I need some front end help... The guy at the oil shop said the front end looked like it needed some work on tie rods or something... I'm planning to have that looked at if I can ever find a shop nearby to work on it... (Flame suit on)...
ON THE OTHER HAND, I would never own anything but a steel or aluminum coach ever again. I don't like fiberglass and all the delam problems that come with it. I do understand how much heavier the Newells are and this is ONLY my opinion, which is free, so you get what you pay for :-)
