Dale Earnhardt's 1997 Newell Coach: I ALMOST Bought It! (Tour and Inspection)

I went on a 2,400 mile road trip to buy Dale Earnhardt's old 1997 Newell Coach. When I got there it was a DISASTER. Just wasting away neglected in the desert. It was amazing to inspect this piece of NASCAR history complete with original paperwork that has Earnhardt all over it. Dale is one of my personal heroes and has been as long as I can remember, however this coach just needs way too much work to be functional again.

I have been on the search for a Prevost or Newell coach to live in full time so I have been learning a ton about pre owned high line motor coach inspection. Buying a used Prevost or Newell is a big decision and a potential disaster without doing your homework first. I had several pages of inspection points I went over off camera as well as @RVing with Andrew Steele offering his input on the situation. I have been full time living in my living quarters gooseneck race trailer for a few months now and have grown to like the lifestyle so its time to step it up!

For the sake of general interest I left out the "nitty gritty" inspection of the coach. I spent 5-7 hours over the course of two days inspecting and testing every single system, every door, drawer, window, switches, hinges, water leaks, etc. I did a Skype interview with Andrew on his channel going over the inspection process and more detail about the major issues I found with this particular coach. We also discuss our observations on Newell vs Prevost coaches of this era. Check out his channel to see that video.
