a few thoughts. and i will pm you my phone number
i went from a 8v92 1990 38 foot newell to my 02 4 foot 2 slide newell about or years ago. i loved the 90 and did a total remodel inside on it. i gutted it down to the bare walls and floors, leaving the cabinets in place. it was a labor of love and was recently featured in motorhome magazine.
i love my 02 as well. much more comfortable to live in for extended times with more room. for me the best benefit was ceilings that were nearly a foot taller.
the 02 is about a zillion more times complicated. i am exaggerating a little...ha
you are welcome to come help me change my slide seal. the older hwh slides are a bit finicky. the newer valid slides less so. most everyone i know holds their breath putting their slides in and out....
the 8v92 is ALOT more prone to damage from overheating than the series 60. and by the way i would be surprised that your coach only got up to 190 degrees on a 110 degree day going up steep inclines. those analog gauges are highly in accurate. the series 60 has a better radiator/cooling system and will protect itself better when trouble comes.
but i put alot of miles on my 90. i also had to have a head replaced on it.
putting the money into a remodel must be for enjoyment sake as you will not get the money out of it when you sell it.
if you have someone do it, it will be pricey. i did mine myself.
