There were lots of flash flooding down in the hill country. Choose your area with that in mind.

Brenda and I moved from west texas- Lubbock to Weatherford 27 years ago. Weatherford has such a huge growth pattern with new homes and no infrastructure enchancements. We selected a place in Mineral Wells, just 18 miles west. Has the largest Walmart that we have ever seen. Alice Walton designed that when she had a ranch here. No crowds- and a great view

that is correct. if you look at this photo, where the light is on the floor, that is the slide out. I matched that edge to the part of the floor that drops down. and that slide comes in and matches to the floor that is stationary

This Newell is a non-slide coach. The previous photos is of a 2 slide coach. The floor up front drops down and the slide comes in to meet the main floor. Its a marvel in engineering.

it is slow go, but looks great

will be going back with some acacia- next week

I have another Newell here. This one has cork laminate "installed" I say that as this is how they cut against the walls:

we have had a ton of rain while I was doing this coach, plus the pecan trees are sweating all over everything. I believe the owner is going to wash the outside and the entry after he gets to a dry area. That pecan sweat is a mess. I would get new treads and throw that old carpet away on the sides and add wood and new rubber treads with circles instead of lines- easier to keep this photo is in A Newmar- the hinges make it impossible to add wood on the risers, like I usually do

Carl, those are some non-skid pieces that the factory added. They like the marble.

I don't know what the owners are going to do. They pretty much have it in top condition. I have another Newell that arrived yesterday. Someone did a terrible job on the flooring- I'll post photos to show later

The wood is acacia. This is in a 2000 Newell 45.9 The last photo in this segment shows where the drop down floor is located. See if you can tell where the seam is.

mine either~

This is engineered wood adhered with urethane adhesive. Totally dimensionally stable. When its' stuck- its' stuck.

Thanks This is in a Newell. Since we bought a house in Mineral Wells last Dec, I don't have time to redo the floors in our coach- yet

curves and angles, oh my
