2007 Newell with leaking window and water damage
#1

I am looking at a 07 that had a leaking window. Coach was stored outside so it has some water damage in the slide where the window was. The board under the window has water damage (and mold) and I am sure there is water damage on the floor as well as carpet will need to be replaced and of course all the interior damaged wood. I am sure all of this can be repaired but a bit concerned. I am tossed buying it if the price is awesome or just not even getting involved. What are your thoughts? Is this something to walk away from or something to consider if the price is right? Any thought and comments are much appreciated.

It depends on your level of ambition.  I assume it is Valid slides?  The slide bearings may need to be replaced.  Aluminum, wood & water are not a good mix but if the problem is confined to one slide it may not be a huge job.  There was a time I would have considered it.

I would have a chat with Newell support & see what their experience is.
