    Why are Newmar clubs always the most active on RV forums

    I have noticed on this forum and other forums the Newmar club is always the most active I’m curious why that is. I have a theory that because Newmar’s are famous for their ability to customize your coach, many start frequenting the forums through the order process. In any event it is very cool...

    I would like to clear the air

    I’m sorry if I my comments about Newmar offended any of you, this was truly not my intention. All of this has made me realize just how unhealthy the ownership of my Newmar 2023 DS was for me. For the record I don’t expect that Entegra will be trouble free. It’s really about for me Newmar has...

    What years are “Covid Coaches”

    So much talk about Newmar’s decline in quality and the term “Covid Coach” Always seems to work its way in to the mix. What years are “Covid Coaches”? 20-22 20-23 20-24 Do you believe that Covid Coaches will still be made in 25? Thank you in advance

    A must read for hydraulic FWS owners

    I had a full wall slide failure on my 23 DS and I Have been helping Rustycoach with his 20 DS It turns out he had the same failure as mine. There is a part referred to as the Revolver gear, it’s a plastic wheel that has pins in it ( looks like a revolver with bullets) This seems to be happening...

    Why are the MSRP’s so inflated?

    Why do you think the RV industry inflates MSRP pricing. Example a DS has MSRP of $750,000 but most sell for the mid $550,000’s as discounts typically range from 25 to 28% on Newmar’s And this isn’t just Newmar, it’s industry wide

    Can anyone justify Spartan price increase

    For you that don’t know my history, in 2017 I started looking at getting a 4369 Dutch Star. My research told be that the Spartan was the only way to go, thicker frame, disc brakes on all axles and a lifetime warranty on the frame were some of the key selling features. With no price difference it...

It is true that he retired after being an exclusive Newmar dealer since 2010, a fact that Tom is very proud of. We talked about how grateful he was...

    How to store the Newmar flagpole holder

    Not wanting the Newmar flagpole holder to just be sliding around when not in use. I came up with this solution: It’s a piece of plastic that I had left over from making my own compartment door guides. It’s simple but gets the job done

    First impressions on 23 DS 4369 compared to my 18 DS 4369

    So far some of the standout features are: 1) really appreciate the redesigned bathrooms, the 1/2 batch has more counter space and a more ergonomic feel. The rear bath has been flipped side to side allowing better area to pass the bed while entering the bathroom 2) we opted for the theater...
