My 1993 is capable to tow 20,000 lb. with proper hitch/brakes etc. As you know no two Newells are exactly alike. I tow a trailer with my Grand Cherokee and it handles it easily. Several others on this site have pulled heavy trailers, Larryweikertsr being one of them. Hopefully they can add more detail.
There were a few places (especially below the windows) where cracks appeared. Tearing the wall paper off revealed a seam in the plywood wall sheathing. The compound that Newell had used to smooth the joint had deteriorated from age and moisture. I resealed and applied new wall paper.
I moved up from a 1978 Newell so I can relate to the learning curve. You will find the basic construction of the coaches to be quite similar.
I cannot help with water heat. Mine is all electric forced air....No propane.
