Thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about BB’s but never really found one I liked and it could afford. I am pretty much down to two specific coaches and hope to buy one of them in the next couple of weeks. It is either the 1990 Newell or the 1999 Foretravel U320.

That was really the basis for my original post, trying to decide which would be a better coach, condition aside. Things like better chassis, brakes, heat systems, ride, insulation, brakes, fiberglass vs aluminum, etc. That’s the kids of stuff I was trying to find out. I know coach condition could make the choice obvious so not asking that but I worry about things like delamination so what people’s opinion are of one coach over another is what I was looking for, and why of course. So far I have learned a lot from this post. I didn’t know that the 1990 Newell had propane furnaces, thought they were aqua hot or something similar. I knew a little about the 8v92 engine but didn’t know that there would be a learning curve for driving it versus another type of engine. I also didn’t know if the 1990 Newell is steel and aluminum or all steel. I believe that the Foretravel is all steel and has ifs and disc brakes, not sure about the 1990 Newell. For the Foretravel I have learned of a serious repair to look for in the bulkheads which I have never heard before and now no to look at.

So for the forum is providing a wealth of info and I believe more is yet to come, let alone what a resource it will be after I actually buy my coach.

Thanks for everyone’s reply’s and info and opinions.
