It was not to bad in late fall and through the winter. However now that spring has finally arrived and all our camping friends are out Rallying together I am like the kid checking off the days before Christmas. Seeing all of this come together is great. It's a bit unsettling wondering how it all is going to look after picking out floors, cabinets, leathers, fabrics, fixtures, ect off of swatches and 2 x 2 samples and pictures. The paint was the hardest due to the fact could only look at small squares for color and graphics shown are flat in color. 50 more sleeps to go lol.

We know how you feel Doug. We picked our interior make over off swatches. When we got back to Miami it was better than we expected! Just like walking into a brand new coach for us. We know you will love it when the big day for pick up finally arrives!

Doug, Can't get pix for you next week. I had to postpone Newell trip until week of 16th. Have to go to Phoenix next week for a job that should have been ready last week but got delayed until next week. I'll still try to get pix on week of 16th. With all these last minute travel plan changes, we have had to cancel trip to Sundance, WY on 14th for wedding so rally at Table Rock might become a last minute possibility.

Sorry to hear your plans have changed. We are dying waiting to see this creation. I appreciate you thoughts any time you make it before we pick it up pics would be great. Good luck with your travel plans.

We took delivery of our coach on the agreed day of July 7. Spent 4 days at the factory the weekend in Branson. We are back at the factory to have some punch list things done for Monday. This is our 5th coach since 06 with and by far the very best experience in delivery. Everyone that has been involved in any way from walking us through to repairing some minor things have been tremendous. We are very excited with our coach and look forward to meeting you all in the years to come. We have officially drank the Newell Aide. I will some some completed pictures when we arrive home the end of this coming week. I appreciate everyone that has been a part of this terrific experience. Good news is I did not have to get my tool box out at all this weekend that is the first time in 8 years. I hope I have not cursed myself.

Glad to hear you are liking 1517. Having seen it just a few days before you picked it up, I can tell you it is a beautiful coach. You 'done good'.

We were really on edge about our selections. We are very pleased with the paint and how the interior came together. Amber did a fabulous job in helping with the interior and Daniel dud the exterior. James in the engineering dept pulled off some amazing things to accommodate our request. Chuck the VP of operations has great reason to be proud of his team. We are now an official legitimate "Guru" lol

Beautiful coach! Looks like you would be able to fit an 8V92 Hybrid Detroit Diesel in the engine compartment if you ever need to re-power!
