I believe it’s #490, and it’s located in Anna, Tx.
Is there anyone in the Dallas area that would not mind taking a look at it for us? No worries if not, we are working out the details and we may just fly out so I can inspect it myself.
Overall it seems that it has been well kept, I believe that it has been sitting for a bit due to the owner having health issues.
It’s a single bath, we liked the bath and a half models but we have not seen that many for sale and the ones we did see where not where we wanted to be budget wise.
This is a non slide coach, which I am happy about. I am not a big fan of slides, the other half would have like to have slides.
Too bad that there is no documentation. I guess since they are still in business they are trying to get folks to come back to get service from them? Or maybe they just did not keep the documentation? I would definitely like to visit the Newell factory one day, I would have also have loved to see the Wanderlodge factory when it was still open.

I am in Greenville TX, not too far from Anna TX.
If you need a company to view #490, please feel free to pm/email me.
But I am no expert on coach inspections, so my view may not be much help.
I bought #701 just a little over a year ago, and I am still learning myself.
