[MrE]

Had a great conversation with Max today. He's headed to look at the coach tomorrow, but I think he's perfect for a Newell Classic. He's an electrition by trade, I told him that would be invaluable for 90% of what he encounters, and the forum would help him with the rest. He's looked at the fiberglass SOBs for much more money, but loves the look of the classic Newell. Asked me about engine swaps, has allocated money in his deal to do that if required. Asked me about the 15 year old rule at many RV parks, told him that I've never encountered a problem. Should probably have some pictures to email if there was an issue. He also inquired about the aluminum siding on the Newells, wondered if it could be polished like an Airstream. Never tried it myself but as far as I know it's aircraft quality aluminum that they might give an acid wash to before painting, but if he has the elbow grease and time I'm pretty sure it would polish up just fine. He's from California but assured me that he didn't drive a Prius.
