Forest,

I had a 1993 Newell with basement ACs. On mine, the problem was the condensor fan motors. They would burn up; I had to change 5 of them during the 9 years I had the coach. Newell could get them for me from a supplier they had.

The problem with the fan motors was they could not be oiled so after a few years they would burn up (at least that's what I was told). Like most other problems there was no logic: the front AC and the middle AC would burn fan motors - the bedroom never had any problems in 9 years! If I remember the little fan motors were about $250 and would last a couple of years. If Newell can find one for you, I would order a couple of spares. The hardest part about changing them is removing the squirrell cage from the motor shaft. Cleaning the evaporator and condensor coils always helps. Be careful not to bend the fins with too much water pressure.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I am still planning to come by and see your coach (just been busy). I'll call you soon.
