As we schedule out the summer trips, we will work in a trip to Nappanee. Planning the Annual Service for the Dutch Star this Fall 2024.
Reviewing the MH Package offered by Newmar Service, it is very comprehensive.
Most all of the issues I've read about over the years with Class As are addressed. From slide gear box bolts, random tightening this or that, to seals, are all covered.
Yes it will be a bit pricey, but we are willing to pay to play. It is either now or on the side of the road at some point.

My only worry is maintenance induced problems. At Newmar I am confident of the skill level, but stuff happens when you touch things.

Be aware, I was quoted yesterday they are fully booked until November.
Could always be cancellations but, a bit far for us. :)
 
Newmar is the only place I trust to fix our coach issues, its worth the drive. Most of the chassis maintenance I do myself.
 
Received an email from Ivy at Newmar regarding the scheduling of service work. She indicated that all of Oct and Nov are available for scheduling. My guess is that I could get an appointment earlier if desired.
The scheduled work, warranty work, annual service, body work (don't ask:() and some optional items will probably take an entire week, if not longer.
