Newmar 2022 Orders, Specials, Deliveries

[ARD]

Hi everyone! It's been a busy few days. Just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the congrats and well wishes. I am still at NIRVC documenting warranty items and getting other things fixed. You know how it is. NIRVC has been outstanding. I'll be back, but I still have a lot of studying to do.

Incase this might help anybody with their schedule prediction, we are in run #26 and just heard from NIRVC Atlanta that our coach will come off the line ready to ship to the dealer on February 15th ... and they should get it on the dealer lot between 7 to 10 days later. We ordered this on Labor Day (September 6th).

Herrrro! I live. Trying to fit all the stuff in the new coach. I probably should have looked at a LA first so I wouln't have been surprised that all the kitchen cabinets arnd drawers are smaller, more narrow, shallow and shorter. And the EuroBooth drawers are also more shallow and shorter than the ones I saw in the DS. The coach drives like a dream!!!

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

Try taking them out of the container.

It's the same on our MA...toothpicks fit nicely!

Why did this have to change? I don't get it.

Dutch star is smaller, yet has more storage room.

I am in so much trouble once my DW sees this coach....so much trouble.

I will be sure to post a farewell posting before I take delivery.

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.

On the upside, you will have some great storage on the DS of coach!

Oh I don't care what brand...if anything fits, that will be my new brand

Penzeys small sizes will fit, and stack well. Judy

I forget...which coach do you have?

A puny DS, as you know. I use the tiny Penzey jars in the coach. Hopefully they will fit. I buy the spices in small bags from them each year, and just refill both the house, and coach. The spices you get from them are so fresh, and superior. Judy D

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

Luxury is as luxury does……

Just find myself wondering what part is luxury.

I should have known. Last time I ordered ravioli at a fine dining establishment in West Yellowstone, the plate was huge, but the portions where small and expensive. Ended up with a big Mac topper for the evening after leaving the place.

So I guess I will need to tow my Grand Design behind the LA so that I have kitchen storage.

Ohhhh, but you are going to love driving it.

Yes...first trip to Lovell will be amazing. ALT-14 has met its match.

It may help for you luxury owners to share pictures of the changes such as narrow slide out drawers, spice cabinets, etc. to educate others that may go down this same path. The other lesson learned is to not assume cabinets are going to be the same because we sure would think they would be, but to go to a rally/show and view the coach or have someone send you videos of these details prior to purchasing. Good lessons learned, share to help those ahead.

The question for Newmar is WHY? Why would you have completely different cabinet designs in the luxury line vs. the lower line? It's the same space and same cabinetry, if anything luxury line should focus on MORE space available. Instead this is a "feature loss" as we call it in the software world.
