Who's at Camp Newmar?

I guess there's always Pla-Mor!

Bring a couple extra water filters if you go there. Rust city.

It certainly wouldn't be my first choice (or, probably second or third either). Not sure why Newmar wouldn't just leave the old sites there. I guess there are maintenance costs, etc. When you are part of a large corporate structure, the bean counters always seem to drive decisions.

I have an appointment April 15th, with all that's happening that might get rescheduled.

I sure hope not. I have been waiting all winter and I an scheduled for the next week.

Yes the RV Parking area at Building #10 has been closed and the hookups look to be prepared to be removed. Having lived in the Public Corporation world for 40+ years, I am not surprised by this type of action.
This is basic security of corporate assets.
It was interesting to see all the changes happening to operations as this Virus Calamity unfolded during our time in the Service Center. Each morning it appeared that Corporate was sending new Rules down and Newmar was trying to implement them as quickly as possible.

I saw a post on another forum saying Newmar Service will be closed on April 13 and will reopen April 27. I called Newmar customer service this morning and Bruce confirmed it.

Freightliner custom chassis is also closed, I guess vehicle repair got shut down in the peak of this stay at home period. Mine is rescheduled. All is good, we all have to flex in these times.

Rescheduled for July 20th, coach went to the storage building today, oh well.

I dropped my coach off last week and told them I was in no big rush to get it back.. They said they were slow because of people canceling appointments because of the virus, so maybe it will be done this week. I guess parts availability was a problem with so many suppliers shutting down.

My FPU was is now delayed 3 weeks, first because the Service Center is shut down until April 27, then because it the coach needed replacement parts, and the vendors are closed. So now I am trying to compress 4 weeks of items into 1.5 weeks, and will be at least one week late for the first camping trip. I paid for a month, a year ago, and may get 2.5 - 3 weeks in, if I don't have to cancel altogether.

My former manager's expression is really true in these times. "Nothing is constant but change".

Thanks for the update! We will be there for the week of August 3rd-8th!
How about restaurants & other places to eat, etc? They open?

Ask any questions in this thread regarding visiting Newmar for tours, factory pickup, etc.

Hello Neal, we are interested how to buy from Newmar direct. How long will it take to produce, and what can we expect for pricing compared to the open market? Do you know if they are accepting visits at this time? Thank you for your time and knowledge.
