[MrE]

Thank you so much for the help with the water heater valve!  I called Mark again with a couple more questions about the coach this afternoon.  Definitely a learning curve with the additional systems in a high end coach, but thank goodness I am not new to RVing and motorhomes or it could be a bit overwhelming for me.  We have made it about halfway back to our home in Oregon and spent about half of my 7 hour drive today battling high sidewinds.  My old gasser would have been pushed all over the road, but the Newell was well planted and composed.  I am amazed how much power I had in the hills.  Very impressive! 

Having transitioned from an inexpensive 40' gas class A to my first Newell, I understand exactly what you're saying.
