Well, I did it! New 23 on order.

[Wayne Daul]

After searching for a 2022 as all production is sold out. I decided to custom order a 2023. What makes this decision so difficult is I won’t know the exact price until it actually goes into production. That’s the world we live in today. I do know the MSRP at ordering time and I do know my discount %, I don’t know how many or how high future price increases may be. However my deposit is fully refundable if I choose to cancel. Six to eight months of worry about possible increases. Not looking forward to that.

So I’m leaving the Tiffin world and crossing over to Newmar, also going from gasser to diesel pusher. That took a lot of soul searching and website browsing. Also a lot of discussions with other motor home owners and dealers. Price is always a big concern but also dependability (def concerns). After spending a month at the Tiffin service center the Newmar factory was a good choice as it is only eight hours away and they make appointments. Going from 34 ft. To 38 ft. More space for longer trips. Other key reasons was Newmar’s wall construction and wet bay not under slide. Also slide mechanism seems to be much better then Tiffin. So in May or June I’ll be selling my 2021 Tiffin 32sa that will be a sad day as we will be without a motor home all summer.

The wait begins.

I see from the chassis spec sheet they are now (as of 2021?) providing factory installed integrated air for your toad braking system standard (competing with Spartan?). Nice upgrade. Depending on what you are currently using it might be well worth changing to an air actuated system. Interesting that they don't seem to mention it in the Newmar brochure.

So exciting! Newmar was on our list but we stumbled onto a great deal with the Tiffin...hope you love the new rig when you get it, and start your new adventures!

I love it. I did most of the suspension upgrades, so I am told, it rides more like a DP. Although, when you cross some of the bridges on the interstate, or on bad sections of road, I am reminded of one of the benefits of a DP. This is the perfect floor plan for me. Newmar has been excellent in standing behind their product - another major reason for the purchase.

What did you do for mods?
I am interested in the 3626 if I stay with a gas coach and plan to have liquid springs installed front and rear if I get one.

Congratulations, we are looking to upgrade from our 2018 Jayco Precept 29v to either a Tiffin Allegro open road 34PA or Newmar Bay Star 3626. The person who does things I am not comfortable with on our current motor home says go with Newmar as he feels that are the best built manufacturer.
All ears as to what you think.

Had "Liquid Spring" suspension installed on my 2020 Newmar Canyon Star 3710!
The Coach now has a fantastic ride, comparable to a "DP" with a solid front axle!
Just returned from a 1,700 mile trip up & down I-95, and driving the "ROUGH" stretch in SC was a dream by comparison. And I had previously done the Koni shocks, rear track bar, Sumo springs, & Saf-T-Plus, which I thought provided a good ride! Well, Liquid Spring improved that ride by 90-95%. Best investment I've made since buying the coach new in 2019!

Just bought 2023 Open Road 34PA, an awesome unit. You will really enjoy it. If possible order with Liquid Springs .
