Hi,
We are in the process of purchasing our first Newell. Unit number # 1413.
A few questions......
1. Has anyone updated the Silverleaf Digital Dash Unit. The coach is a 2011 and Silverleaf appears to have updated their dash units through the years since this bus was manufactured.
2. Weight of the coach - are these coaches typically over weight? I have not had this one weighed. The reason I ask is because they have 150 more HP then a typical Prevost conversion....don't get me wrong, I love power!
3. Reliability - How is the reliability? We are trading an Entegra Anthem in the purchase and that Anthem has been truly problem free for 28000 miles. I drove (2) Newells while shopping and both of them had issues...issues to the point they were barely drive-able. Both were low miles coaches 2009 and 2011. Being a pilot I have flown lots of different types of Jets. Some were very reliable and never missed a mission, others would break down seemingly on every flight and it seemed to be model specific and consistent. There is no place on line where I can find owner perspectives regarding reliability. Please chime in if able.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and suggestions.
Tom
