The Newell Story

Newell Coach was founded in 1967 on principles that still guide us today: create an innovative, high-quality product and support it with unparalleled customer service. From L.K. Newell's groundbreaking introduction of the industry's first diesel-pusher motorhome to today's cutting-edge active suspension and steering tag axle systems, Newell has remained a driving force in the evolution of the luxury motorcoach.

Still privately owned and operated as a family business, Newell entered a new chapter in 2024 with a change in ownership to Grant and Amber Kernan and Pat and Becky Dwyer—longtime leaders in the company who share a deep commitment to Newell's legacy, values, and future.

Our success is rooted in the dedication of our talented, experienced team—many of whom have been with us for decades. Nestled in the small community of Miami, Oklahoma, we are proud to build every Newell Coach with the craftsmanship, care, and values that define our region.

In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we launched the p50 Edition—a striking collaboration with our longtime partners at Porsche Design. This milestone coach and the opening of our 75,000-square-foot production facility marked a new era of growth and innovation.

That momentum continues today. With the completion of our newly constructed corporate offices in early 2025, we remain committed to raising the standard for luxury travel, engineering excellence, and exceptional customer care—for generations to come.
