Welcome the forum. You are in the right place for help. Tell us a little about your mechanical and electrical experience. That will help us in giving you help. I am not condescending, but the detail and explanations that we give you will be tailored in terms that you will understand. We all have different areas of expertise, and it helps to know your background.
Tom is right. One thing at a time. I would suggest air system first, since you can't move the coach until that is resolved.
Another suggestion to keep this from turning into a very long thread is to list your problems as you work on them in the appropriate forum section. So if you want to work on airing it up first, start a thread on that.
Doug is so right about cribbing or using jack stands. Newells sit very close to the ground. Don't go under unless there is some robust mechanism for keeping that baby off of you. It will ruin your entire day if it sits on you.
You have a fine piece there. Well worth putting the energy back into it to get it on the road. You will learn so much in the restoration process. It doesn't have to be horribly expensive if you are willing to do the work.
We look forward to this journey.
So are you out in the Permian basin?
