Can I use the old version base with the snap handles on this "new" unit?

No the new version attaches to the heating element. On my old version the heating element was part of the "snap on" unit.

Not if the old version base is white. Won't spend the $$$$ as the clips are cheaply made.

I don't know about the old version. The new one I Purchased broke In two days. The removeable base latches broke and plastic cracked.

Sure will. If you should decide to get one of the new ones, they will not fit on your current setup.

No, the handle was broke when I got it new. I put a piece of conduit over it to salvage the unit. The stock handle is junk, but now it works well for me.

the newer one is different from the older one, i haven't needed it yet so i have not installed it yet but Kwikee doesn't support any help at all. They recommend the replacement of the complete step unit.

I can not say for sure, though you do not want the same exact part number because you will have the same problems. There is a new part number for the upgraded model.

If you have an old one, just use that. if this is a new item for you, then not sure. trial and error I guess. Sorry not much help.

I believe the handle on the 8893/8805 model pivots which makes using the handle extension easier. I love the 8893 !!

No, but you can use your existing screws. You don't need to buy any new ones.

The new mop handle screws into the mop. I was unable to use my old mop handle.

no, you need the ones that go with this unit. the old ones with the stem attached don't work with the new machines.

No. I had to use the old one to steal the frame to make it work. Depending on what is broke on our old one, that method may work. But this is not an out of the box fix.

I don't know but I know the snaps have not changed. I replaced snaps on 1994 equipment and they were the identical.So I would assume the tools would work as well.

Yep, the old interface works just fine. I was just hoping to get the new hardware for the turn arrow, faster screen refresh and the zoom buttons both on the right side of the screen which is easier to use IMHO. No problems acquiring sats, I think the old hardware is just as sensitive. Thanks

Not at all. You just remove the circular rubber ring like a rubber band. Snap off the old one and snap on the new simple.

I don't remember to be honest I think I used old one. I think you could find a new one at hardware store if not

No, not easily anyway. The kit is designed to splice into the old hose. One would normally choose a spot a few inches from where the old hose comes out of the base, then cut the old hose at that point, and a small coupling device (supplied in the kit) is then slipped into each end (the cut end of the old hose and the open end of the new hose). Before I ordered the kit I tried to take the base unit apart and wasn't able to do it. I suspect that if you could take the base apart you could probably just slip the new hose onto the same fitting as the old hose uses. Hope this helps!

I cant answer 100%, because I read in misc forums that new version uses same numbers as the old.What I can answer is "THIS version when I bought it, is not the new versions".
