Andrew Steele video

[MarkMaxPayne]

When I saw his video this weekend my first reaction was "Who are these Newmar owners who are complaining about this and where are they airing such an epic reaction to this?" I mean, I'm on a couple Newmar owner forums and we gripe about anything and everything at times <grin>, but I don't recall this being a "hot topic."

Best,

I think the price point is a much greater concern than 35 gallons less fuel. At the rate its increasing, the KA should be over the 2 million mark in the next year or two. Crazy.

I remember when KADP was just at $1MM not that long ago and is now at $1.6MM. They only added lithium 2-3 years ago as a substantial change, which does not cost that much to justify the price increase. So, what is up with these price increases, and what is the owner getting for it?

Round Figures (MSRP) for the luxury lineup:

King Air, $1,600,000
Essex, $1,000,000
London Aire, $900,000
Mountain Aire, $800,000
New Aire, $600,000

Looking at the features and specs, I sure can't see what accounts for the $600K jump at the top!
However, looking at the Apprx NCC, the Essex beats the KA by 2000 to 3000 lbs, )depending on model) so the KA is either carrying gold bricks or there is some construction details or features making that difference!

When a RV mfg is offering products in the seven digit range, the pool of potential customers is very small.
From what I’ve observed over the years these are primarily people that work on the road. Actors, entertainment, promoters and very high net worth business folks.
The Vantana, DutchStar, KountryStar are more aimed at the DP leisure travelers.
Even these are becoming out of reach for many.
Also as a public company now, this adds many layers of expense and inefficiency.

I would think 1.6 million could be better spent elsewhere for a coach that doesn't have the same slides as a Baystar.

Hey - for some that is the ideal floor plan.

Andrew Steele = ClickBait... all of these RV "Influencers" are so full of unreliable and unnecessary information... yet they feel they are stars who deserve a star on the walk of fame LOL... i could name more names, but i will stop there LOL

 

[Roadglide117]

Why doesn't he complain that the other Newmar's only hold 100 gallons?

 

[GUS2000]

wont get views that way.. his content is based on 3 year old coaches... they are really struggling for viewers i guess.. not sure who watches all these RV videos all the time.. and how they define themselves as experts.. lol

 

[MemoriesByTheMile]

If Newmar increased the size of the fuel tank they probably would have sensationalized that - Newmar is stealing CCC!

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

Has anyone on this forum ever bought a motorhome based on the size of the fuel tank? When I purchased my Ventana I'm sure I must have asked about the fuel capacity and I guess if the answer had been a 25 gallon tank I would have walked. But whether it is 100 gallons or 150 gallons means nothing to me.

Every post about this expert is seen by Google. These web bots are AI, and no matter how you talk about the foolishness, you add to the authority of the video!

So congrats! You are makings him an authority in Google's AI eyes,and increasing his ego!!!
