96 Update Project almost done!!

[77newell]

Dave-n-Marjorie: What a marvelous job you have done in both getting the coach you wanted and then dressing it up to suit you in grand style.

Question about the wallpapering job. We are thinking of updating ours in the 93 coach and were wondering if you first had to strip off the old or were able to just paper it over?

[Dave-n-Marjorie]

Papered right over it and worked out well. We did pick an expensive bamboo wallpaper but I think it would work with any kind. Thanks for the compliment, we are very proud of this Newell.

Great Job, and great taste, I really appreciate when people build or rebuild something to personalize it for themselves. The best things in my opinion are how built custom and they are not bought off of a production line. You have a one of a kind coach and I'm sure you will enjoy it for years to come

Very nice updates. The wife and I have been patiently waiting to acquire our first Newell and when we see a coach done with this kind of pizazz it really gives one the bug. Shannon says, what a cute little car and even the golf cart has a rumble seat.

Mighty fine job folks. It looks fantastic!

[Billy Bussman]

I must agree here this came out classy.

Wow looks great Dave. The white interior with the dark bamboo flooring, amazing transformation. How do you like towing the little fiat?<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <woNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <wontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <wontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <wontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <wontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> <w:UseFELayout/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]-->

The Fiat tows GREAT! Getting 41mpg hwy and 37 city. Its a sport model and I even did the Roadmaster baseplate install myself. No fuses to pull, just put it in neutral and go.

Dave at 41mpg that little Fiat is impressive. Thumbs up for fuel savings.

Very nice coach Dave-n-Margorie! What is the difference in height in a regular newell and one with a raised roof? I'm 6'2. Would I be able to stand up in a regular Newell?

[Dave-n-Marjorie]

Thank you coachman! Our ceiling height is 84". Not sure about non raised roofs, but I would guess 78" or 80". BTW the bunks coach look awesome and its a great price. Newells like these are almost impossible to find and the update possibillities are endless.......

[stewart33]

Amen.

[Neweller]

Dave is real close as the ones I have measured of like years seem to be right at 79" so that would give you about 7" to spare. Of course where the bunks are, you will have a difference but should be fine. Out of the dozens of Newell's I have been in, I have only seen a couple that seemed to have shorter roofs and I'm not even sure why they were built? Many Newell owners I have met are over 6 foot and don't seem to have a problem. I guess that would be a "pro" for the basement air as well.

[Neweller]

D-n-M, sounds like you two are really enjoying the works of your talents right now in that beautiful coach. Glad all is well on the voyage!
