Are there any notable service issues with the 2007 - 2010 years or important items to update or replace based on a 15 year old coach. Such as Shocks/Airbags/Slide Seals/Air Fittings..ect.. I'm new to the forum but I'll look to see what tools should be with the coach. Any recommendations for inspection services that understand the Newell brand..

 And are the electronics serviceable or upgradable? 

We really like the interior volume of the Newell's vs some of the other coaches we have looked at.

Thanks in advance.

To dive down a little deeper, I went through all of the same questions as you had over a year ago when I decided on Newell as my next coach. As far as the service/maintenance items are concerned, it truly depends on how the coach was maintained over the years. It only takes a couple years of sitting idle without being used for these things to start decaying quickly. I spent the better part of 4 months getting 1212 back up to snuff. I know it was maintained prior to being put up for sale as I have all of the receipts dating back to 2007, but it sat idle for quite some time before I purchased it. Electrical Gremlins, Air Leaks galore, Tires timed out, AC's not working, Slides not working properly, etc... I have just about everything worked out except the horn is not receiving the correct signal from the Smart wheel, so I will be tackling that next.

So without reserve, I can say that you will spend hours tracking down air leaks and replacing fittings(I think I have replaced 40-50 so far)even if it has been meticulously maintained. I would venture to guess that every time you start the engine, expect a leak to crop up(even if tiny)  . I have replaced at least 4 regulators as they can develop leaks as well. I have the compressor cycle time down to around 3.5 hours, but there are some crazy guys on this forum who are up to 24+ hours. Maybe one day I will get to their level!
