Newmar 2022 Orders, Specials, Deliveries

[NWIP]

@NWIP I know you aren't serious about the Essex ( at least I think I do ), but another member was seriously looking at one. I spent a lot of time with that member going over the differences for the $106k ($150k retail) and couldn't find anything that even justified $2k. This was on an apples:apples comparison, even adding the bedroom window to the LADP.

Most of the essex materials can be specd in the LA. The caps and overall dimensions are the exact same. The only reason to get the essex is for floor plan 4569 or 4578.

The differences for 2022 that I identified are:

1. Manibloc system exclusive to Essex & KA
2. Silverleaf video in bedroom for HD360 - Exclusive to NA,EX,KA (for now--I will be fixing that)
3. My Rozie from factory -- you can add this on your own for $300
4. Tablet included with EX & KA -- You can add this on your own for $300
5. Massaging Charis - Exclusive to EX+KA -- You can add this on your own for $300
6. Bedroom Window over bed -- Was exclusive to EX+KA, but 2 people have reported it being added to their LA

So my list of items includes only 2 that cannot be added to LA for sure, and 1 that may be able to be added (#6). The rest of the items you can add for less than $1k

The engine is the same. The materials are the same. The price difference of the $106k is based on my specials of adding KA floors, DS countertops, etc, and taking a stock retail price essex as-is and using the same discount.

The jump from MA to LA would be very similar thought process -- except at least I can say the engine is bigger. At least there is something unique going from MA to LA, so I ignored that price difference.

Correct, not really serious about Essex but thanks for the difference or lack of. We are starting to think about LA possibly at the next big design change (2024?). Lots can change with market, economy and personal circumstances in 2 yrs.

I predict that the KA will go to a bus chassis soon, and the essex will fill the shoes of the current KA, being the top of the line custom built.

Newmar never had the funding to do a conversion business, but that is the next market for the KA, and the prices are getting closer all the time.

That may mean the KA would no longer be built on the same production line, which would then give to the argument is the KA a newmar or a wbgo?

I can see this happening by 2024.

don't forget you can also go to the comnet and search you coach serial number by adding "cs" to the end and it will return all documents they have on your specific coach.

Try the search with both the "CS" at the end and without the cs at the end. You get different results.

Right now they only have your custom paint prints loaded, but as soon as it leaves BLDG 7 it will have the VIN loaded and all of the cabinet changes, etc.

Wow! That's great. I didn't know you could do that. Thanks @redbaron.

@redbaron
And all, this is a great source of informaiton. Since I just joined and trying to get up to speed, is my coach number listed on my production order report? It has customer number, production number and order number. Or is this still to be issued?

Best regards,

 

[Just George]

@FloridaSon Your coach number is the production number on the production order report.

 

[redbaron]

Production number is your coach number.

 

[FloridaSon]

Thank you both,
I guess it takes a while to get in the ‘system’ but now I know how to search later on.
All the best!

Is anyone planning to get a third party RV inspection prior to taking possession of their coach? My dealer says it is a waste of money. Thx

Who is your dealer? That will determine the answer.

Unless it is NIRVC, Midway, Steinbring, Coachlight, or Tom Lindstrom...I would say that it is mandatory that you have someone inspect the coach that knows RV's.

A lot can happen in 2 days. I'm so excited. Although she is due to come out of paint Oct. 13th, there are shortages so it's a mystery when I'll get the wee Beastie. Here are some more photos:

@ARD .... what's the latest update on your new coach ????
