LuxuryRVs,
This site is about Friends helping Friends....You might want to consider another forum if you feel the need to trash the Newell brand, the factory, or the owner. I have dealt with the factory a lot and have a completely different experience than yours (and I have spent far more than the numbers you have shared). With that said....I have some thoughts about your coach.
Since most of us have older coaches...some of this might not apply.
Not accelerating...If the coach has the FAST IDLE button switched on, it will act like it's not in gear. Turn the switch off, then go to N then to D and see if that fixes the issue. The Allison transmission is virtually bullet proof, and we rarely ever hear of any issues with it.
Leaks... Newell coaches rely on the seals around the slides to keep water out. Since you say that the 120V compressor is running constantly, you have air leaks. Fixing air leaks should be near the top of the list. There are lots of posts on here about finding air leaks, but the bottom line is that you have to go find em and fix em. Start in the compressor bay with a sonic leak detector and some soapy water and go basement bay by basement bay looking for the leaks. Finish up by looking around the drivers chair and under the drivers dash.
You mentioned water canister in the front bay. Can you share more details? Have you drained water from the air tank in the front bay?
The Rims for the front tire? Not sure what this means. Hubcaps? They are available from Newell parts.
AquaHot? - Contact @"Trainer" (aka Rudy). He has parts and knowledge.
If you have some specific questions, I am sure that we can find some answers.
Good luck with the coach!
