Thanks for your thoughts, everyone. I realize that power management is a major issue unto itself, but the physical challenges of the coach in terms of weight, clearance, etc. were my main concerns at this point. I'm thinking it'd be something the two of us would do for 2-3 days...just a potential change of pace at times of year where heat/AC aren't needed. We wouldn't be hard core by any means...my wife likes her showers too much (as do I!).
So, in terms of clearance, should I expect a Newell to be different (to any significant degree) from a similar length Tiffin or Newmar? I use those brands because I've read some blog posts by those owners who camp in some interesting locations...always driving their toad into the site to confirm accessibility/ground conditions. I see that current Newell GVWR is 63,000lb range while 45ft Tiffin/Newmar are 51,000/54,000. So, I guess my question really boils down to: If a site accommodates a 45ft Tiffin/Newmar, is it unreasonable to think it could handle a Newell?
