If you are shopping for a LARGE luxury motorhome (or if you just want to see how the other half lives), join Andrew Steele, of RVing with Andrew Steele, for a tour of the Newell Coach #1637 luxury RV.
This coach is part of the inventory at The Motorcoach Store, a Bradenton, Florida, dealer specializing in high-end RVs such as this one.
Starting on the outside, the windows and slides are all completely flush with the sides, giving this coach a stylish sleek look. In fact, when traveling, it’s hard to even tell there are slides.
The Porsche-designed front and rear caps along with the snazzy and classy metallic exterior paint job sets the stage for a truly spectacular motorhome. And with a price tag exceeding $1.6 million dollars, it had better be spectacular.
With a gross vehicle weight of more than 60,000 pounds, it’s also robust. In the video, Andrew jumps up and down on the steps of the coach and nothing budges. I mean, no movement whatsoever!
You’ll find electric bi-folding basement doors on the extensive under-coach storage. Some of the bays even have remote-controlled interior sliding storage trays for easy access to what’s inside. There is even a slide tray in the storage area to make it easy for a technician to access the coach’s electronics, should they ever need repair.
Other exterior features include:
- European-style bus mirrors
- Chrome wheels with Michelin tires
- Exterior TV on swivel stand
- Window awnings
- 200-gallon diesel fuel tank and a built-in camera makes it easy to line up with the fuel pump
- Active steer tag axle that gives it a tight turning radius (for a 45-foot RV)
- Cummins X15 engine, 605 horsepower
- 25,000-pound towing capacity
- Outdoor handwashing station next to built-in sewer hose with redundant valves
- Manifold system that slows when you turn water off in certain areas of the coach, in case there ever is a leak
- Four rooftop 15,000 BTU air conditioning units
- 143-gallon fresh water tank
- 143-gallon combined black and gray water tank
Let’s go inside Newell Coach #1637
The driver’s side living area features a HUGE slide out room that gives this coach the feel of a house more than an RV. The sleeper sofa in this area can do double-duty as extra sleeping capacity.
Several small seating areas and tables give lots of options for work, lounging, or dining. Of course, there is also a larger booth-style dining area.
The kitchen features a huge stainless steel sink with a garbage disposal, dishwasher, a Wolf induction cooktop and a GE convection microwave. There is, of course, a HUGE amount of kitchen storage.
Nonetheless, I have to say that as a cook and a foodie, the kitchen left me underwhelmed. I would prefer two sinks, especially considering the size of the coach, but it falls short here. The stovetop also appears mighty small.
This coach features a bath-and-a-half. Up in the front living area is a roomy half-bath with a toilet and sink. The HUGE rear bath has to be seen to be believed. Unlike any RV bathroom I have ever seen, it looks like it belongs in a Beverly Hills spa.
There is an enormous master bedroom with a king-sized bed and large TV on a televator that brings it up from the cabinet below.
Other interior features include:
- GE Monogram refrigerator and deep freezer
- Built-in file cabinets
- Storage ottoman
- Washer and dryer
- Built-in wine glass rack
- Sliding pocket air doors
- Cedar-lined clothes closets
- Gallo acoustic speakers
These are only some of the many amazing features built into the Newell Coach #1637 Luxury RV. Be sure to watch the video to get a true appreciation for everything that goes into these super high-end luxury RVs.

We have Newell Coach #419, a 1996, and love her to death! Newell is a wonderful company that creates movable art. We highly recommend going on their factory tour. With Newell it really is “it’s just money”. You ask and you shall receive.
If only money were no object. A beautiful coach for sure.
This article is a little bit behind the time. Andrew Steel’s latest (April 2023) video is of Newell coach 1777, a 2024 “Show Coach”. Would that I win the lottery to own a Newell. They are gorgeous coaches, all made in Miami, OK and none made better. Drool-l-l-l!
The Fit and Finish is exceptional. It’s a statement piece, kind of like the Hope Diamond, neither of which are statements I’ll be making. Love the over 600 hp but can get that for under $700k on a 2019 from a 1/2 dozen other manufactures.
It parks in the same spaces I already park at so location location location doesn’t come into play and if I’m dropping a cool $1.6 milliin on place to sleep, it better have a garage and a mail box.
Darn – I was a thinkin’ bout buying this one – but alas no video link. I’ll just have to wait for the next review. How about some reviews on used coaches/trailers etc?
Sorry, folks. I’m not sure why you couldn’t see the video. Almost 1,000 of our readers have looked at it already this morning, and several have commented on it, but you’re the only one who said there was no link. Maybe it’s blocked somehow on your device? Have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Hi Diane: I went back to it a 2nd time and walla – there it was! Unfortunately, I didn’t care for the small space by the washer dryer – so on to something else! HA, Ya’ shure, you betcha!
I’m glad you were able to see it, Doug. Too bad the space by the W/D was too small for you. Maybe they’ll take that into consideration next time, or you can order it the way you want it. 😉 Have a great day! 😀 –Diane
I kinda like all the opulence displayed in this coach. Even on my Arctic Fox TT, the entry steps are not as solid as the entry on this coach. I’m crushed!
If I had the money to afford this I wouldn’t buy it.
Financing available with a tax write off.
Still a NO?
Me too.
I am in agreement.
Why or why would anyone want carpet in their cabinets, especially in the kitchen! Ewwww! Try getting those cleaned up when dirty!? Of course, their probably not the ones doing the cleaning, I’m guessing?
For $1.6 mm, they’ll gladly remove it.
Somehow I missed the part where they showed the maid and butler quarters – or do they follow behind in a Winnebago? I surely could not operate or maintain this all by myself.
I think you’re correct, Kelly. The maid, butler, chef and mechanic, and probably hair stylist, all have their own separate RVs in a convoy behind this Newell.😉 Have a good afternoon/evening. 😀 –Diane
How could I forget the mechanic? Chef and hair stylist would get very bored and frustrated looking for something to do. Without them, I have already saved some money!
Yep. Good idea to budget when your toy costs $1.6 million. And with all that storage space you can shop at Costco and buy in bulk to save money, also. 😉 Take care. Kelly. 😀 –Diane
I forgot about that storage. Two big slide out trays – robot maid in one and robot butler in the other. I’ve got to learn to live with the times.
Sorry, Kelly, but a morgue just popped into my sick brain. 🙄 –Diane
Now that you mention it, those do kinda of look like morgue trays.
I would definitely want a driver as I sure would not want to drive this.
I often wonder who does own some of these. I was in a rest area one day with my travel trailer and Ram 2500 truck. One of these pulls in next to me and his toad was the same 2500 4WD truck I use to tow my trailer! Blows me away sometimes. To each their own.
I hadn’t really thought of that until Kelly mentioned a robot maid and robot butler being stored in there, then a morgue flashed into my head. As far as RVs, to each their own is exactly right. Whatever makes someone happy is the most important thing. Have a good night. 😀 –Diane
LOL. 🤣
