Question for the group...
I'd like to participate in this group; I've been lurking for a while.
But I don't have a BB; I have a Newell. There is a Newell forum, but it seems to be all but dead. I suspect that's more because of the format than anything else; posting, replying, etc, are very clumsy and don't lend themselves to carrying on a "conversation" so it just never happens. This email reflector format is much more like what we humans think of as carrying on a real-time conversation, and so it stays very lively. In any event, my question is: keeping in mind that my Newell and a PT are quite similar, and, more importantly, share almost all the same systems (DD V92, Allison, wheels, refrig, a/c, plumbing, etc etc) that generate about 97% of the questions and answers here, I'd think that my questions when I have them would be relevant to the group and I can occasionally contribute suggestions that will also be relevant almost all the time. (I have better sense than to volunteer anything on the BBQ thread...you don't want to try my cooking...) But I also don't want to feel like an "outsider" being tolerated out of politeness. So my question is, how would you guys feel about admitting a foriegner? Travis in Lubbock, Texas with a 38' Newell; think of it as a PT38 with aluminum skin... |

Question for the group...
Travis,
"Foreigners" or "SOB"s as we call them (no, no, it stands for "Some Other Brand" around here - LOL!) are always welcome to contribute to the conversations. Actually, we already have Newell owners on the forum ahead of you, so welcome aboard. I think there may be a Prevost or two also, but they may not want to admit it..... We have many other brand owners also looking to learn or upgrade. You are correct. From an equipment basis they have many similarities, so if you can help us or we can help you, post away!

Travis:
They let me lurk and am: A Birdless SOB Regards, Jim PS: I have always thought the bird forums were heads and shoulders above the other forums. for info we have at least one Newell(if not more hanging out on the POG forum. Does your Newell have the direct drive lock rear end? Saw one used to good benefit at the FMCA ralley a few years back. |

Question for the group...
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. tom mccloud mesa, az --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Travis Martin > > I'd like to participate in this group; I've been lurking for a while. > But I don't have a BB; I have a Newell.
