I think this is replacing the Kountry Star. So not an additional model.

Yes ... this was in the press release that I saw.

For his part, Vice President of Sales Matt Ellinger offered highlights Director of Engineering of the 2025 model year, which numbers some 77 floorplans for 13 brands, including the all-new Northern Star, an entry level diesel pusher that replaces the Kountry Star.

Ahhhh, okay, so just another name change of the same coach that was the Ventana LE, then Kountry Star, now North Star. Got it! Thanks...

 

[Joe Hogan]

To Neal's point, you would think that limiting the number of models and focus on production quality would be a better path for a better product.

Makes more sense

I'm calling it the North Star. Sorry Newmar.

A buddy of mine changed the lettering on his Bay Star to North Star. He is from way up north.

Half kidding... I'm curious how much a rebadged Winnie could sell for. Hypothetically speaking, the cost of new badges & labor to swap them vs potential increased margins could make the math work, no?
