Newmar 2022 Orders, Specials, Deliveries

From my observations...the luxury line has 1/2 the storage depth above the microwave as the DS does. It is very very small

@redbaron ... maybe you can get this changed/fixed before they build ours??? We have a month or so for them to redesign it.

Where you able to get McCormick spices to fit above microwave? That one storage area really has me bummed.

Well, I hate to report that the cabinet is utterly useless and the door does not stay open. I think I’ll be storing cocktail napkins and utility lighters there for the moment.

None of my spice jars will fit in there and I did have one McCormick. I don’t even think the small round ones will fit.

@ARD is there any difference in driving or handling when driving the LADP versus your previous DSDP?

Oh yes! POWER. It has get up and go. It also feels like a smoother and quieter ride. I don’t know if this makes sense, but it feels more weighty and substantial. I’m still getting used to the adaptive cruise and collision mitigation. Talk about instant feedback. I’ve turned off the Mobileye for now. Once I get used to all the alarms and seat vibrations, I’ll give it a try again.

I’ve only driven it for 2 days as I was hauling it from Texas to NC for Thanksgiving. I should have more feedback once I start traveling more. Big bonus…the lights. I don’t like to drive at night especially with the DS as it was hard to see. No such issues with the LA. I was quite comfortable driving in the dark. Once I’m moved in, unpacked and can find things, I’ll start a thread regarding the differences unless someone else wants to chime in and get it going.

We have that cabinet in our Ventana though yours does appear a little smaller. It’s where we keep our vitamins, otc & prescription meds, bandaids, etc.

congrats ARD!

Loading my pantry into the coach tomorrow. I don't use McCormick spices, but I will check and see if mine fit in it tomorrow.

Hey. She’s back. Did you fill a notebook with instructions on that new rig? Big learning curve?

With regard to the lights, I changed the regular lights to led in my Bay Star. What a difference. I got to the truck stop last night after sun down - no problem. I also tried to move to another spit at 3:39 am, because I was parked right next to where the guys set up their double trailers. Every few hours, another set. The leds lit up the parking area beautifully. Haven’t replaced the brights yet.

I finally found the solution for this cabinet. This is where I will tell my wife and children they can keep their list of things for me to do.

This cabinet may be too big now.

Don’t think so small. Tell them that’s where they can keep their things - all of them!

ohh---well maybe that will be a good distraction from all of the other issues. I like that thought.

@ARD i checked this thread for photos and found none. There was a link to Facebook but I can’t bring myself to click it.

You must have a huge storage space. No way I could get a coffee mug in there unless I ground it to a fine powder

No way could we put coffee mugs in ours. But, shot glasses! And toothpicks.

@ARD and @GlampDaddy That's pretty sad. I don't think they should call that a cabinet - just an access panel and to what? What do you think there is above the microwave? Is the back of that cabinet removeable? Are these kitchens in a slide out? Do they provide detailed drawings of the cabinets?

I have been trying to figure out why Newmar did this ... and I just remembered reading the following in the 2022 MOUNTAIN AIRE NEW FEATURES AND PRODUCT CHANGES list. Wonder if this was the culprit that did it??

• The height of the bottom of the kitchen overhead cabinets has been raised to a standard height of 18.5” above the kitchen countertop.

I wonder if Dutch star also lost the space?

The wording is the same and a few pictures appear to be the same.

I asked what was behind it when I took delivery of my coach and was told mechanics for then slide.

 

[Neal]

The island drawers seemed to have gone to half width, can't figure out that one either.
