- Today's video find me back at Premium Coach Group in Gilber, Arizona. I am inspecting a 2009 Newell motor coach that just arrived.
Though I focus on the roof inspection, I do pop in and out of various parts of the bus trying to get more information for everyone.

Great video on the Newell . Your personality and knowledge
makes the video worth watching.
I appreciate that!
Now that’s a luxury coach, out of my price range, helps that it’s stored inside ,nice
They are gorgeous
I really love 😘 this motorcoach
Thanks for watching!
Stupendous video. Always enjoy viewing your RV videos.
Thank you!
Beautiful coach you know what they say James if you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch stay safe and healthy
I'll stay on the porch, these are out of my reach for good.
Great vid, James. I have a suggestion and my feelings won’t be hurt if it’s ignored. There are many different types of sealants to choose from. It would be a good tutorial if you could give a rundown of which ones you like and the applications in which they work the best. Your vids have exposed a smorgasbord of sealants to this guy who had limited himself to Dicor and Eternabond for over a decade.
I would like to make that video, I just never have an open day to film it unfortunately.
I agree!!
I use the ‘Notes’ app on my ipad, and whenever James talks about a sealant I jot it down in my note called ‘Sealants’. (toggle utube n notes). Sometimes pausing his video before I forget, lol. I jot down all sealants he mentions, whether or not it’s applicable to my rig, thus when I forget if a sealant is appropriate for my rig situation, I’ll answer my question in my notes.
Thanks James! Cheers 🍻
Yes, I was waiting for this one. Glad it came through and you're inspecting this one. I have watched this motor coach from the last dealer in Texas where it was last sold. They had said it was a clean coach and now that you went over it, seems they were honest about it. Thanks for all your great videos on coaches.
You are very welcome. It's a beautiful unit and well cared for.
AZ ur knowledge is so valuable wish I knew you were around a decade ago ☺️
me too, my kids told me how awesome youtube was, I just didn't listen
Very nice coach and great video James. You can't beat that kind of roof--or coach for that matter
You got that right!
Very nice looking rig. Newell does a nice job.
Thanks 👍
Like the walk-through and inspection! Nice video! Cheers from Alaska!!
Thanks! 👍
I enjoy your videos and I’ve learned a few things I didn’t know about RVs. I have one request when you’re doing a tour don’t say something is going to be when it already is. It might be a hard habit to break.
You do great inspections you explain everything with ease I appreciate what you do and what you do for the company that you're working for if I ever get a motorhome I will get in touch with you to have it inspected for me I'm trying to sell my house at this moment I have a few things that I'm still working on the house and I'm thinking about getting a motorhome in time of 58 years old now I'm divorced and retired early LOL but I'm going to take life easy now I finally got my Rad Rover v electric bike I'm enjoying that even in the winter 🥶❄️ I enjoy your educational videos
And I also like the fact that you speak Spanish I'm Puerto Rican myself my kids of half breeds Puerto Rican German my dad was military and he spoke six languages so I got to learn a little bit of everything appreciate you man enjoy your week
Puerto Rican amigo 🇺🇸🇵🇷😊🤝
thank you. I need to improve my Spanish so I keep trying, but I could do better. I'm happy to hear you enjoy the videos, I never know what to say most of the time!
@@AZExpert
Just keep being you bro you doing a good job doing what you do just keep yourself happy and keep doing your job and get along with people the best way you can and you're Spanish to me it's good you don't have a gringo accent lol 😂 my older son he's a Marine and he speaks it kind of like you my second son speaks a little bit but he's pretty bad he tries to they're both married to filipinas my second son he's in the Navy he's stationed in Hawaii my oldest son lives in Jonesboro Arkansas he lives closer to me but you know how that goes when they get married they forget all about you I have a Rad Rover 5 electric bike I hooked it up where the bike is faster and also I put in blinkers lights stereo system on it I got the big fat bike with the fat tires 26 in tires I don't want to tell you how fast it goes because it can get me in trouble I put a faster speed controller and it has the motor it's a 700 watt motor
I tweaked the display to make the battery feel that it is bigger than what it's supposed to be one day we maybe can sit down and talk about that I might give you some ideas you gave me plenty by watching you on how to work on motorhomes you have a good educational channel I tinker a lot that's why I watch your channel I can't do it all the time but I do watch so I'll be talking you stay safe 😊
🇺🇸🇵🇷 Oh if you notice I have the American and Puerto Rican flag together that represents my dad and my kids just in case you're wondering every time I write something I always put those flags they're my favorite flags
Beautiful Motorhome
We agree!
Beautiful bus
Lovely
It sure is!
That was interesting I allways wondered whot the roofs were like
they're great roofs.
Looked like quit a bit of water in that generator water separator . Nice 👍 video .
I'll have to take another look, sometimes the camera light does strange things. Thanks!
They make pretty coaches !
They sure do!
How do these compare to Prevost?
I always wondered if my aquahot was abnormally noisy, I guess not by the sound of that one.
They are pretty loud
Are you sure that is a Newell chassis. It looks like a Prevost XL2 bus conversion. The roof and rear engine panel and compartment doors Prevost. The Newell I think has center hinged folder side doors.
Newell makes their own chassis from the ground up, it's one of their claims to fame. They are impressive
Nice to see how the other half lived in these multi million dollar rv’s James.
Question: you inspect these rv’s. Do you also repair the issues that you find or does someone else do it?
Sometimes I repair, but I would rather just inspect, depends on the situation.
Watch some of his other videos he is great at repairs
Nice Coach!
thank you. hey I left a latch in the middle dash of your motorhome for you
Ha ha, was thinking about u Andrew as James was inspecting this rig thinking 🤔, Andrew r u thinking of grabbing this baby? Lol. Cheers 🍻
Those Newell's are so nice, but the price...whew.
I know what you mean!
600 horsepower beast.
it's a big beast for sure
Wow nice coach!
Sure is!
The 97 American Carriage is cleaner than this Newell. it has been in the sun for sure
that 97 was the cleanest vehicle I've ever seen
Nice, I like!!. Thanks
Glad you like it!
Nice unit - curious on value ?
$475k is what they said
Great review..just wondering why you dont like KVH antennas? Ive got an RV1 and its been great so far in motion and stationary..
the lineup before the RV1 required a computer to troubleshoot, constant software revision "upgrades" and were very buggy. The RV1 has been good, but KVH made life so difficult it's difficult to recommend. King Controls did the same thing with King Domes. Ironically, the first Winegard dome units were awful, but they redesigned them quickly and have been dependable ever since. Thanks!
could this be andrew steele new rig?
funny, I ran into him today and saw his new rig. I won't spoil the surprise but I'm jealous and it's very nice
@@AZExpert omgosh prevost or Newell? Oh, oh, oh anticipation is killing me! lol. 🍻
Them buses are beautiful
it really is
Wondered about the roof top emergency hatch too, found this: "Bus Emergency exits and window retention and release in effect on the date of manufacture. FMVSS No. 217 requires side exits and at least one rear exit, but when the bus configuration precludes installation of an accessible rear exit, a roof exit is required in the rear half of the bus to provide a means of egress when the bus is overturned on either side. "
www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/notices/2015-10202
No doubt, the industry does require emergency exits but usually it's windows. The hatch won't do much if there is a fire in the hallway. Maybe it's a Oklahoma thing as Prevost don't have the hatches either just windows
i want that case for the aqua hot.
Newell makes accessiblity pretty easy
cable track. Or if you prefer, Cattrack
that works too
Where are you located
Mesa, Arizona
Mechanical language? hmmmmm ha ha....that was close. Man that generator exhaust was low.
yeah, it's nearly impossible to crawl under these units, and very dangerous without blocks.
Nah, I'm sorry. I do not like the conditions this (at the time) $Million + coach is in. I know it's used and on the used market it would go for $430K-550K. But there's NO WAY I'd pay that. But, that's just me. JMHO.
It's only worth what someone is willing to pay!
Not a bus.
Thanks for sharing you are correct. Would changing the title improve your life?
Then why Newell COACH?
