Steve, thank you for the response. That does seem to be the summary after reading so many threads. It seems to me that having the annual maintenance checks done in Miami, OK is the way to go for preventative care and the only real challenge in living full time in a Newell is watching for air leaks or any compromise in the air systems.
My husband is well able and experienced in maintaining systems like what the Newell Coach offers, I just don't want him to have to work on them. I know he will, because it is in his nature to innovate and fix anything he comes in contact with that has any lacking. I am just hoping we find a Newell that offers us some time to relax. The 1274 floorplan is exactly what we are looking for, but I have concerns since it seems to have been sold a number of times.
I will continue my research and I'm sure once we are in it, going over the systems and having our inspections completed, I will calm down. Either way, they do seem to be wonderful coaches and we'll find ours this week or sometime soon.
Thank you again!
Sarah
