New owner

Hello this is Willie and Rachel Moore we recently purchased Coach #465 a 1997 double slide.The coach currently has 173,000 miles so she was no hanger queen. A little background on me after high school I went right into the US Navy and worked on A-7E Coarsair ejection seats and air conditioning and pressurization.After discharge from the Navy I went to college year while working and UPS and I have been employed at UPS for 33 years.I grew up tent camping to a fold down to a slide in truck camper with my family and I still own the 1977 Chevy 3/4 ton camper special truck my Dad bought when it was about a year old it’s all original and very solid o my driven two winters. In the early 2000’s I was had an obsession with power boats and did a fair amount of maintenance on those. Around 2010 my wife and I had a 26’ travel trailer for a few years. In 2021 I bought a year old coachmen class C which we sold this past July we used it quite a bit and actually put 6,500 miles on it last summer. I always wanted a diesel pusher and have followed many FB groups the past few years. I had called the previous owner of our Newell who is a retired former co worker of mine to ask questions about an American Eagle I saw for sale.While talking he mentioned that he’d be selling the Newell that they owned since 2001. I thought about that a month and decided to look at it and the rest is history. I told my wife this is like going from a Cessna 152 to a Citation x! So far we absolutely love it and still kind of can’t believe we have a Newell. A couple of mechanics from our  truck shop crawled  under it and said that it’s one of the cleanest engines they’ve seen.They did point out a couple thing I need to address tag bushings and a tag slack adjuster other than that said it’s solid and clean. So I will be on here learning a lot.
