The body panels and caps are obviously Newell.  Depending upon year, slides will be HWH or Valid. The rest of the stuff can usually be repaired with a trip to a OTR truck supply house, Mcmaster Carr or Grainger, or the HD/Lowes. When you start moving up into the later model coaches, either Prevost or Newell, pay close attention the master control systems. Most of the gurus have the old school analog switches, but the newer stuff is all tied to a master controller. I would make sure I knew which control system and the available support before purchasing.

Thanks, are the Master controllers repairable?  With my Coach it has 4 different computers (controllers), Cat, ABS/ATC Brakes (Merit?), Allison and CC's controller.  All of CC's was manufactured in house and when something goes it becomes a job to replace. I've taken the boards out and have had computer geeks fix them when one goes bad.  All switches are analog and can only find them now in Marine applications.  And, I don't know with Newells and Prevosts but when one computer quits talking to another, a lot of lights and things start happening that don't make sense.  

As long as the controller can be fixed and is accessible and doesn't cost as much as the coach.  I can work with that.   
Thanks again.
