If you are looking for an extremely well built vintage RV, with a beautifully updated interior, fantastic amenities, and a recent restoration, take a look at this 36'8" Newell couch. It is for sale in Washington State and is drive-away ready. Purchased for $25,500 in 2015, with over $10,000 in upgrades, the new owners will benefit from this bargain. On road, it drives like a dream. With a large generator, battery bank, and two 100w solar panels it can also be used for off-grid camping. Included in the sale is a complete list of receipts, part numbers, and suppliers and operating manuals and instructions. Below are some of the features of this coach, followed by a list of repairs and upgrades completed. We are selling because we purchased a second home and no longer RV.

Two questions:

1) What year? 1983
2) Where in Washington State?

By the way, this is not built on a Greyhound chassis....Newell builds their own chassis.

[newell83]

We live in Mossyrock, 20 miles east of I5 on Hwy 12.  The highway starts just South of Chehalis and goes over the mountain to Yakima.  I'm corrected by my husband who says it is a provost chassis.  Holly

[DK on the road]

I'm not trying to be a smart alic, but for marketing purposes, It's either a Newell Or a bus conversion Prevost. It can't be both. This looks like a Newell. They don't make Ford/Chevy's (that i'm aware of )

Beautiful coach and well maintained. I hope it gets a caring family again.

[whatsnewell]

Nope, that is a Newell. No Newell has ever been built on a Prevost chassis.....ever. Newell builds their own chassis from the ground up....1983 is no exception.

It looks nice. I hope it finds a good home

Andy and Holly,

That's a beautiful coach, you should have no problem selling it.

[newell83]

We stand corrected! We thought we had a reliable source who told us that Newell used the Provost chassis. Am correcting the add. Thanks to all who gave this feedback and those who included nice comments. Scrubbed every corner of the inside this week and, thanks to the wonderful construction, she looks like new inside. Only exception is some crazing on a couple of the mirrors, but even that is minor. Holly & Andrew

[MrE]

Hello Andy and Holly,
I was referred to this site by Jon Everton, I am very interested. Am I to understand the price of $28,500? It looks very nice!
Thank you, Rick Jessup

Hi Andy and Holly; can you give an update on the status of your coach? Is it still available?
