Thanks for the admission. I've been looking at the big 3 for a couple of years now (BlueBird, Prevost, and Newell). I'm old school and like mechanical engines and transmissions and will gladly take the mpg hit combined with the longevity/reliability when factored in to the age of the RVs in our price range. It appears that 1987 is the last year for the mech 8v92s? Is 60-65 mph reasonable with the Allison 740 with a toad?
We've full-timed for years, years ago in a triple slide 5th wheel for work. While the room was nice the finite lifespan due to construction quality that was evident was not. We don't need our next rig for full-time use but don't want cramped quarters since we have 3 dogs that are never left behind! What is the headroom in the older Newells?
I can't find a list of what models were offered. Single, tag, tandem? Locking differentials, layouts, lengths, etc. Is there a post listing this information?
