    We own a 2022 Newmar Ventana and it is without question the best coach we have ever owned. It is incredibly solid, quiet, and rides and drives like a dream. Anyone that is looking for a quality, very livable coach Newmar is a must.

    Great video. I would highlight how Newmar protects the chassis before they go into the chassis shop from the weather out side, No other manufacturer does that. Also, Newmar ensures true quality control and testing on their coaches, while other manufacturers just claim to do so.

    We almost purchased a used 2019 Dutch Star, I stared reading about the issues on a Newmar facebook page, slide out motors coming lose, windows failing and or falling out, systems having issues in the first few years, furniture leather covering that is failing, some system issues Newmar is not even backing and standing behind, I’m sure there are a significant amount of customers that are happy but I’ve read enough that we decided to keep our 19 year old Monaco Dynasty.
    We walked into the coach that we considered purchasing I was instantly let down by the actual quality of a 14 year newer coach compared to our 2005 Dynasty, no offense towards a Newmar owner, just what I noticed walking into a coach I had never looked at.
    Newmar is doing a good job at a lot of “sales” and maybe compared with current day offerings in the same level of coach’s it’s the best available, lots of curb appeal, we’ll see how the test of time effects the product. Jmo.

      I am a little late on this one, but I was of the same mindset. When I started really doing the math, you would be hard pressed to find 100 bad reviews on Newmars over the last few years, in contrast to the hundreds they have sold over the years with few problems. The % is very small, thus one of the best manufacturers in the business. A lot of the complaints are self-inflicted wounds that I have fallen victim to! We have a 2022 New Aire and love it. I guess i am one of the lucky ones. IMO.

    disappointed about the insulation in these coaches. First off to see the bat insulation rather than spray in foam is a turn off for me. However, if you are going to use bat insulation, at least make sure there’s no gaps between the bats

    Thanks for setting this up. I was very curious of how far the industry came along as far as automation is concerned. These units are hand built leaving opportunities for automation to the wielding processes, using camera systems with picture analysis for quality control and also tablets at every station for real time interaction with the build guides. The quality would stay at the highest levels and overall cost of production would go down. A lot of badly built units flooded the market caused by the fact that hand built units depend on the tradesmen not having a bad day. More robotics at key areas would mitigate this.

    We own a 2020 King Aire and absolutely love it. We have one issue that I have heard others talk about and it is the water that comes in through the full slide if it has rained or is raining. What is going on there? Is water getting under the awning of the slideout? My family has owned a few Newmars and they have been great motor homes.

    I really look forward to having a Newmar motorhome in the future. And I think they look totally amazing. But the only part of the video that was done poorly was the Insulation I’m a custom homebuilder and this would never pass any inspections so hopefully you guys can increase that quality and the quality of the insulation. Houses a 1970 were insulated better than this.

    Newmar is fantastic. I would say buy a new model and not used. They don't honor any warranty when you're not the original owner. Service department is great. Really nice having the campground directly across the street from service. There has been talk about having a west coast service center, I really hope they proceed with that.
