Robert,

I share your desire to find someplace close to home to be able to see the Newells up close and personal, but other than combing the myriad of online sites hoping to find one near you, there isn't any magic bullet for that. However, if you are considering getting on a plane to accomplish your goal, I would add PremiumCoachGroup.com as an alternative to Motor Homes of Texas. They have two locations in AZ, one in Phoenix and one in Gilbert; less than a half hour apart. They have more Newell inventory and are very willing to help. Our visit there recently changed our whole approach to finding a coach for full timing, and after spending some time with Tom and his '02, we feel much better about our search. Just some food for thought.

Thanks, Bob.  I don't tend to fly, so that makes it even more challenging, but I am willing to take a road trip to move the needle on my knowledge.  AZ was more than I planned to do at this stage, but they surely do have inventory.  It's very helpful to hear of your personal experience, so I'll keep a closer eye on them.

Best,
Robert
