My wife and I just purchased 717, a 2005 4 slide with D60. We previously had a 1979 Chieftan that we used to camp in practically every campground in the colorado mountains. Before the Newell, we travelled the eastern US in a 1997 Prevost Marathon.
Retired mechanical engineer, I am familiar with HVAC, electrical etc. I have performed all the maintenance on cars and coaches for the last 40 years.
Difficult decision to change from the Prevost, but a four slide Newell seemed to be a much better value and we wanted more space when parked.
The Prevost came with a 3 inch thick binder with all the chassis maintenance and repair information. I have been able to do engine overhead, brakes, air bags etc.
Not sure what is available regarding the newell- only received a very sparse owners manual.
I have already noticed the tone on this forum is the most respectful and supportive of any forum I view/participate!
