Newell #1209 - tomgauger - 07-23-2026

Hey...back again and still looking for a nice Newell. A 2007 front entry with rear lounge is for sale in NC. The owner sent the build sheets and change-outs. "Rear Lounge" and "Murphy" are mentioned in th4 build & change-outs but the pictures definitely don't show that layout.
So, I'm wondering if anyone here has any information on this coach. The owner says that one of the rear slides does not work due to seized roller bearings. He also says that Newell-Miami told him it would only cost $4,000 to repair the slide.
The step cover air solenoid isn't working. The problem here is labor as the co-pilot seat has to come out and other stuff with it.
The coach has a Sub 700 cabinet-style fridge-freezer. What is the capacity of these units? Our Monaco had 23.5 cu ft and it was perfect since we travel three-four months a year.
Guidance from you guys would be welcome.
Thanks! 
Tom
PS: I know where one of the 16 or so Newmar London Aire's is and for sale under $200k. This group from roughly 2006-2007 was Newmar's attempt to make a Newell.

RE: Newell #1209 - Fulltiming - 07-23-2026

1209 was listed on Ebay in 2019. At that time the photos indicate that the 'rear lounge' was actually a bedroom with a murphy bed that was folded into the wall in the photos. With the bed in the stowed position it left most of the bedroom available for whatever use you needed. The only downside of the murphy bed was that it sits lower to the floor with lowered than the regular bed did. I believe most murphy beds that Newell installed during that time period were between 60" and 66" wide and 73"-76" long. A standard full bed is 54"x75" and a standard queen bed is 60"x80". They were not as long as a standard queen bed and sat lower to the floor by 6-10".

The slides on that coach are Valid electric slides. It is possible that the slide(s) have have seized roller bearings but that is not something that I have heard of being a common issue. If they are seized, I suspect the Newell estimate to repair would not be out of line if the slide(s) have to be removed to replace the bearings.

If the Sub-Zero 700 model was the 700TCI it was 15.3 cubic feet, 10.2 refrigerator and 5.1 freezer.

Hope that helps.
