Question for the group...

[encantotom]

hi travis,

i have a 38' 1990 newell i just got in june. i post on the newell
site as encantotom and agree with you there is not much action
there, but i have gotten answers to virtually all my questions when
i post there and i have asked alot of questions.

please feel free to contact me directly if you want and there are a
few people that we share info between that have helped me alot.

i looked for 4-5 months for a bluebird and almost several different
ones, but they ended up not happening. then i
found this newell in new mexico and i love it. not as many gadgets
as a bb, but i have taken it on one 4k mile trip and it was
fantastic. i am doing a bunch of updating and routine maintainence
on it in preparation to taking a 6 week long trip next summer. i am
a real do it your selfer so try to do most things myself except
those things that are worth it to pay someone to do....

love to hear from ya if ya want.
