I predict they are going to raise prices again…

Yep, and that won't fix sales. Very sad situation.

Data is starting to populate on the above website. It looks like they are replacing Magnum inverters with Victron 3000's.

I saw this too ... ATC replaces Silverleaf – Newmar App

Supreme Aire now on Cascadia.. thats probably the most drastic change i see in the lineup.. other than the color selection on the side of the coach is now 3 colors vs 4 as it used to be..

Interesting, Winegard Acquires Silverleaf. Wonder if Newmars statement about ATC being a Rebranded product is actually the same product with a new Brand name, i.e. Winegard.

ATC (American Technology Components) is a different company from Silverleaf.. But i am guessing its all about brand recognition and Newmar wants the app the be branded Newmar versus something different.. just a guess

You can now get the Superstar on the M2 112 chassis with 450 HP and same floor plans just one foot longer.

This will be a game changer for some in not having to go all the way to the Supreme Air for the additional power.

They also removed the HWH system and used Equalizer jacks and the steps are now electric instead of hydraulic.

The change from Magnum to Victron is nice as we already have the Victron in our 22 and like it better than the Magnum.

Not sure why the ability to select the dash radio as an input on the exterior entertainment center has been removed. We actually use that quite a bit.

 

[sheridany]

One barometer used for years when I owned a Newmar was did they sell out the entire production run to dealers? For years they did without a blip. I’d be curious to see the answer to that with the industry sales numbers.

 

[Neal]

Does anyone have actual sales numbers? Since they are a public company, is this information available? I'd love to see a comparison of prior years and actual numbers by unit sold.

 

[sheridany]

They combine Winnebago and Newmar in the earnings report because they are subsidiaries among Winnebago's different entities.

Attaching full report for light reading.

Getting a bit off topic for the thread, my fault, but I thought at Newmar International around 2017/2018 they gave out the numbers for all models. Maybe that stopped since Winnebago acquisition?

Back to your earlier statement @sheridany about selling out at the show, I don't think that happened last year, not sure about the prior year either. Certainly doubt that will happen this year.

Interesting tidbit. Winnebago releases their Q2 2025 earnings tomorrow....

Yes, they have been aligning this meeting with earnings calls. Same last year.

For part of my job I run software teams in the mobile app space. The SilverLeaf mobile app is...well...okay my mom told me if I cannot say anything nice, then... Nothing more than an outdated embedded browser widget within a very thin mobile app wrapper. So basically a mobile app in name only... You might as well simply launch your favorite browser on your phone or tablet to a bookmarked URL for the SilverLeaf to access it (which is how I access it now--using the SilverLeaf's IP address from their LR125 device). You can find out the IP address assigned to it from the main SilverLeaf control panel in the network/WiFi settings. I told my Winegard Aspen to treat it as a static IP address so it doesn't get reassigned to a different address number when the address needs to be renewed through DHCP.

When I read this announcement bullet, however, I assumed Newmar was replacing all SilverLeaf components within the coach with those from ATC, not just the mobile app. Would love clarification, although swapping/upgrading may not be an option for those of us with older coaches. I know years ago those with Essex coaches had a very expensive upgrade path to SilverLeaf, so I'll wait and stay tuned to learn more.

SilverLeaf tech support is very helpful and friendly. Hope ATC is of the same ilk on that front.

Best,

I assumed they meant that the ATC product(s) replacing SilverLeaf would be private labeled and rebranded as "Winnebego" or "Newmar". Pretty common in other technology spaces to purchase tech from an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and then brand it in the customer's branding. Creates a more seamless experience for the ultimate end customer/user. That is until somebody at Newmar says "Call ATC for support."
