Tom,
Go back and take your time going through the coach. List what you find. Fried some stuff is enough info to make any input upon.
If you will make the list of what you find that is inop, then the forum can give you a good idea of what it will take to repair it.
And in addition, I could not agree with Tom and Gordon more, I would not want to spend what it takes to keep my coach at the level I do unless I was doing the work. None of us started out as Newell whiz kids, but years of hands on fixing Newell stuff has taught us a lot. But you have to have the desire to learn, and learn by doing to be a happy and financially solvent used Newell owner.
I usually recommend that a potential buyer have 20k of additional mad money to put into a new to them coach. Maybe more if it needs tires and batteries.
