The basement airs are no longer manufactured by the company Newell was buying them from. In fact they were rebuilding a few they had from wrecked coaches when I was there last. Parts are almost impossible to find, especially control boards. Ken is correct that Newell is using stricly roof airs which are ducted so much quiter than basement airs and offer you 2 more compartment bays for storage or ?. The replacement cost if needed is considerably less on roof airs and any Camping World or RV shop can do it easily for around $1200 to $1500. If you decide you want basement airs then check with Winnebago as they still use them and can probably tell you who makes them for them and I'm sure they could be retrofit to a Newell if need be.
