After 20 years of Newell ownership, Rhonda and I have purchased a 2007 Prevost Marathon. I am equal parts terrified of a rig I don't know intimately and excited at the prospects of more learning and fixing adventures.
Of course, I will still help with the Newell crowd in any way I can.
I will leave it to the new owners of Newell 512 to introduce themselves, but I am certain it is headed to a new home, rolling toward more adventure.

Congratulations to both of you! Welcome to the dark side! At least Steve and I will not be the only outcasts at Newell rally's.

Congratulations Richard! Looking forward to seeing pictures your new ride. As you may have read, I "lightly" posted mine for sale. (No advertising other than this site). Our house we bought in Ozark has been a money pit and thus, my coach will not see any use for a long while as it remains in covered/powered storage in AZ.

Congrats on the new rig! Going to be fun to see you tear into a new project. I vote we help the new owner of 512 setup the Micro Airs. And by "we" I don't mean me.
You knew that was coming.

Congratulations on the new coach! Thank you SO much for all your contributions here and I’m sure you will be a great help on the Prevost forums as well! You have helped me get through so many issues over the years and I appreciate you putting up with my ADD :-) Happy travels and Happy New Year!!!

Congrats!
I'm sure you won't be able to "leave" the Newell gang...we didn't approve of it, in the first place...ya know...a kind of "anti-initiation" thing! LOL
But, with your knowledge, I have a feeling that Prevost will be NO match for you when I comes to throwing you a curve ball.
