The margins must be huge and the demand still seems high. Demand for these Class C's still look higher than for other rigs. When I bought mine back in 2018 for only $124K the sticker on the chassis as it rolled down the assembly line was like $36K. Then during the pandemic the same rigs were going used for $184K. Crazy times for sure. But 10 years late to the party? I'm scratching my head...

The Tiffin's were built like the Class A's, but the CCC was abysmal. I loved the BW floorplan where the bed slid out the back on a slideout, over the hitch, but they abandoned that (the Thor Delano has that FP now).

I wish they would pick a lane. Seeing that Mercedes chassis makes me cringe. I have one, and am not a fan. At all.
I tend to agree. However, it is truly a gateway drug for those going from smaller rigs to larger Class A's. As well as for seniors who still want to RV, but would rather downgrade from a large bus to something they can drive and park much easier and just about anywhere. Until now Newmar had ignored that high demand segment in the market. I just question if that ship already left the dock for Newmar years ago... I'd also be curious if it is actually Newmar built vs. a rebadged/branded/full-body-painted Winnebago product from some other existing line. If the latter is the case, build materials, construction, and quality may not be up to Newmar's standards or Newmar owner expectations and I'm totally 100% in your lane @Neemer... What sold me on the Tiffin Wayfarer at the time was having Winnebago Sprinter-based Class C's sitting next to the Wafarer on the dealer's lot--night and day build & quality differences...
 
Any confirmation if they sold out the 2026 production?

I'll ante up and bet $1 they didn't and go farther betting they didn't sell half, okay, maybe half, but I'm all in for $1.

This economy is not conducive to motor* sales. And back to the Class C, I wonder if tariffs are going to affect it being Mercedes? (actually, I don't think it applies, it was complete vehicles tariffed?)

Maybe @Brett Davis can give us a brief after the dealer meeting?
 
The class A wholesale shipment figures continue to drop dramatically year over year for all brands. February class A shipments were down 20% from the same period last year while all other segments were up from last year. It’s looking like the months ahead will be a great time to buy a new coach.
 
Sorry, @Neal, I'm not taking that bet. I would bet that dollar that the 2025 inventory is larger than usual.
 
Here is another take on things with more pictures.

 
The MSRP's are staggering.
 
They are insane. I am all in for $2!

Good luck Newmar.

Hey, at least the 3rd Lithionics battery has gone from $14K down to $9.9K... :ROFLMAO:
 
Yeah, that is so not SilverLeaf. A nicely laid out UX? So jealous already...

Given this all runs on RV-C (similar to CAN-bus) one "should" be able to mix/match components on the network given every module has to comply with the published standards for that type of device (i.e. shades, ACs, tank sensors, etc.). I would think we could leave what we wanted to with existing SilverLeaf modules and swap out what we wanted to with the new private labeled ATC modules. An upgraded new main control panel and mobile phone app experience would be ideal...

Newmar!!! Hello? You listening?

Best,
