Hi Jeff,
I lurk on the Wanderlodge forum.
Top line summary in my opinion. The Newells of the era you mention are incredibly similar to WB of that era. Similar running gear, trans, suspension. I think that Newells of that era are not as complicated as the Wanderlodge. Less gauges, less interlocking solenoids, less complexity in the electricals.
Big downside for you is NO documentation from Newell. NO schematics, NO piping diagrams, NADA. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. 90s with S60 will have either Dometic split AC or SCS basement air. Both will need TLC to keep them going, but it is not impossible.
I have seen your work on the WOG. It would be a short learning curve for you to maintain a Newell.
