Thanks for your reply! I enjoyed hearing how your coaches changed to meet your living needs and your perspective on the coaches. You've definitely been in some premier coaches, so I appreciate the feedback from one who has "been there".
I think space will be a primary factor in our future coach. While I have always been a proponent of no-slide coaches because they can break or be a source of leaks, knowing the level of quality in the Newells makes me more confident that this would be less of an issue. I understand, of course, anything that moves can break. But in my case, I think I'll need the space to maintain sanity as I plan to live in it mostly full time.
I did find a non slide in SC for 50k and that price seems remarkably low for the year. Assuming the condition was acceptable, I could almost be persuaded to buy it but I fear I would end up purchasing a coach with slides within a short period, so I would rather wait. I'm not "quite ready" yet... still arranging all the things I need to in order to "fire myself" into retirement.
