Welcome Robert. 2004 was a transition year with #679-696 (except #671, 681 and 685) being fixed tag axle coaches, sharing the same suspension as those of the earlier years, and 671, 681, 685, and 697 on having the ZF suspension with the active tag axle steering. #716 was the last 2004 Newell. 2005 saw another major change with #722 being the first 2000i model with the side and rear having the taller appearance found in Newells that followed. #752 was the last 2005 model. A few of the 2005 models had the Cat engine instead of the Detroit Diesel Series 60 found in most Newells since 1995 (yes, there were a few 1994's with Series 60's also). 2006 began with #753 and-775 being 2000i models and #776 on being P2000i models which added the Porsche Design front cap. After #763, virtually all had the Cat C-15 and most having the ZF transmission.
During the 2004-2006 range there was quite the mixture of mid-baths, rear baths and rear bath with a mid-half bath. All had the Valid electric slides, full disc brakes with all channel ABS and to the best of my knowledge, all had the Bode Air Entrance Door. Mid-entries were more common in 2004 with a more equal distribution between mid and front entry by 2005. A few 2 slide coaches were made during this time but most were either 3 or four slides. Most were side mounted beds with some center island beds and some bunk bed models with a side mounted queen bed in the bedroom.
Most during that time period were 45'8" long with only 2-3 per year shorter than that and a somewhat greater number up to 47' 0" long.
Let us know what specific questions you have and we will try to respond.
