Greetings all!
My parents owned an RV for my entire life. My dad's dream was to have a Newell and that was realized in 1994 when they bought coach #254, a 1991 model, one of Bill Kroft's "Kroft Lofts". We began traveling in it immediately and had so many fun times, including many Newell Rallies in it over the years. My husband and our two boys became addicted to the Newell life as well traveled many places with my parents. Over the past few years, my dad and mom's heath has prohibited them from enjoying the Newell. My husband and I could not help them keep it up, as we were been busy with the lives of our teenage kids. My dad passed away this past November, and we are currently trying to ready #254 for a long-overdue trip to Florida with my mom and our family to some of our favorite places. Although I know a great deal about the coach, my husband and I feel overwhelmed at the knowledge my dad had about it that we are missing in his absence. We want to bring it back to life and to it's full potential as we move into our retirement years as a means to create our own memories, as well as travel with my mom. We look forward to any help we can get from this forum!
