Sometimes I think Newell is one of the RV world's best kept secrets, as everywhere I go people ask "What is that?"
You're right about the learning curve on a Newell. I am about 7 months in on the ownership of an older and much simpler Newell compared to yours and I experienced the learning curve as well. My wife will take a slower and longer curve as well since she's not as active in flipping the switches and hitting the buttons as I am, but she'll get there with time (both yours and mine).
Entegra is a high end coach as far as production coaches go... what are the most noticeable differences for you in going from your Entegra to your Newell?
Oh and to those above with the helpful hints on using the forum, THANK YOU. I learned a couple of things after being on here for probably 5 years.
Thanks for the response and encouragement. The big differences between a Newell and Entegra are the physical weight and the feeling of solidness between the manufactures, which is also reflected in the price and life expectancy. However, as a brand new owner of a Newell, I do worry about the complex systems and usually prefer manual systems that are less likely to break and easier to repair. I'm still excited to drive and enjoy this amazing engineering machine.
