Complete Tour of 2021 Newell Coach P50! (2 Million Dollar RV Interior)

What happens here

The presenter highlights that Newell Coach's slide-out floors are completely flush with the main coach floor when extended, making it impossible to tell where the slide begins or ends inside. When retracted, the slide-out floor drops by 6 and 3/8 inches. This innovative 'up and down' movement prevents stress on the motorhome's chassis that would occur if the slides were simply twisted into place on a ramp, ensuring longevity and durability. The slides are sealed using a large inflatable air seal, similar to a bicycle inner tube, which vacuums out the air to create a tight, quiet seal around the entire slide when closed. This system effectively minimizes outside noise, even with the engine running and AC on.

Goal: Showcase the innovative and robust slide-out system

i'm done like i'm just fried you can't even really tell where the slides are part of the floor change it's all looks like the same floor i mean you see it's right here and right there but it's all flush yeah and that's really what is great about uh our slide system um one thing that's impressive about newell is is how big our slides are we're tall we're really tall slides most slides you can't stand inside of especially if you're over six feet tall here i'm five feet eleven and a half and i'm fitting easily inside the slide there's a couple cool things that that allows us to do is you kind of look and see we're known for our big windows they're really big windows makes the coach feel real big and spacious it is but some of the cool things we do is really i showed you how our air door works and you saw how when that door was shut the coach was really sealed in the engine's running right now you can barely hear it you're standing right underneath an air conditioner pretty quiet we're not having to scream in yale i got like a foot of headroom in here yes that just doesn't happen yeah 89 inches will be our interior height as i start retracting you'll see this floor will drop the floor drops we have a 6 and 3 8 3 8 inch floor what as the floor is dropping what it allows is that floor only knows to go two ways up and down so we're not going to stress the motor home out by twisting the slide going like that and putting it on a ramp so what we have to do now is it'll tell you right here our seal is vacuuming we have a big air seal imagine the old bicycle inner tube or bicycle tire or something like that but a lot stronger rubber um it's sealed all the way around this slot so what it has to do is it's literally vacuuming out the air to release the slot all the air is vacuumed out it'll start coming in as you can see there's no stress at all on it if you look right through here you can kind of see a little opening that's crazy how that little new wall there telescopes yeah with that watch right here so in order we can have good walkway space when the slides are in that's on the piano hands will just drop down really easy come here look at this real quick you see this it's going to tell me to release and you'll see it seal in nice and you can hear the different noise changes from the outside inside so that is how our slides work the advantage of this slide right here
