Boy, he is really stretching it looking for content to put out to be this dramatic about a 35 gallon reduction on a fuel tank.

 

[AbdRahim]

Awww shucks. I guess I won’t buy one now. Oh wait! He said million, not thousand. Huh! Way too many zeros for my neighborhood.

 

[48ford]

Coincidence maybe?...........200 gallons US is the same as 165 Gallons Imperial.

I've basically quit watching RV content on YT. Mostly, they are click bait, infomercials, or product review vids that don't tell me anything I more than I can find on the product website. And, some of the videos are so poorly produced to be cringeworthy!

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

Ah come on!!! You guys throw zeros around like they have no value!!! Oh wait! It's all monopoly fiat money.guess it really doesn't!!!

That’s exactly what I was thinking. At that price point you could move into the used and well maintained Prevost Newell category.

Slightly off topic...does Newmar post stats on sales for the year broken down by each unit? How many Dutch Stars, King Aire's, etc. sold? I'd love to see these numbers for prior and this coming year.

 

[Neemer]

Honestly, I’m as much of a Newmar guy as anyone, but when you get to that price point, I’m so outta here.

Agree ^^^^

I have become much more selective in selecting videos - when a video has a title like the above, it is sensational. I don’t bother to watch.

Based on the responses above, sounds like fuel tanks were reduced from 200 to 165 gallons. Assuming 7 mpg and only 75% usable, that is still close to 900 mile driving range. For most users that is a full up every couple/few days.

In our 45’ SuperC we “only” hold 120 gallons and we drive up to 9 or 10 hours on a long day. We won’t fall below 3/8 of a tank and will fill up once a day at a stop that has good pricing.

Don’t see this downsizing of tanks as a real determent to buyers. Other opinions?

Personally, that wouldn’t matter to us either.

Our Superstar only has 90 usable and we are over 8 mpg so around 700 miles. More than enough for a days traveling. Normally fill at the start of each traveling day and as close as we can when stopping for a while.

From my observation, personal opinion, word from a peon...most coaches in this price point don't seem to really move, travel, or explore much. They seem to go to owner resorts and hang out for a season. Maybe travel to another seasonal location and hang out for that season.

Agreed! Only reason I used my capacity when I had a MH, was to avoid buying fuel in states that over tax fuel. You know! California, Kansas, and such! I would also avoid fuel purchases in states I had to go through that I was boycotting due to government policies like rest stop policies.

Let me add...there's nothing wrong with that, it's just a different use desire. When I looked at buying a site at Pelican Lakes in 2017/2018 I realized it wasn't the time for me, I do not want to be tied down and should be exploring all the great things to see in the country and Canada, etc. I started RVing only in 2017 so I still have a lot to explore. Many around here have been RVing 30+ years and have been there done that and don't want to keep burning diesel but love the RV life. I certainly would love to hang out for several months at some location, enjoy pickleball, have my plane there, etc. and we'll see if/when that time comes. So again, we all use RV's differently but those price points even for a house are not in my lifestyle, never have been and never will be. It is not my comfort zone.
