How about 2003 Newmar Mountain AIr

Looking at a Newmar Mountain Air 2003 with 40, 000 miles or so. In great shape from the looks of it. Tires are 2012. GM engine. SO the question is, THOUGHTS???? ANYONE WHO OWNED one and troubles or whatever you can tell me. Paint looks solid, interior is in impeccable condition. What would you say it is being sold for? What did you like and didn't like? What are the things you have heard if you have not owned? What are the things that would concern you about a GM engine with 40,000 miles on it driven back and forth to Fl and parked in summer while living in it and not sure what happened to it in Winter if lived in or sat.
Thanks for any help.

    When we bought our '03 Kountry Star diesel it was either going to be the diesel or a Mountain Aire gasser. The ONLY thing we saw at the time with the Mountain Aire was a fairly low net CCC. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't outstanding either.

    We ended up going with the Kountry Star DP and have since bought another - our 3rd new Newmar.

    Newmar makes a great MH, for sure. If we were buying again today it absolutely would be another Newmar.

    I own a 1995 London aire and love it. Holding up well for her years , no complaints with Newmar from my end. Upgrade fridge , Tires battery , I put new air bags due to age but was working fine. some maintenance issues only. The older couple we purchased from sold us this one for a new bounder and after two months called wanting to buy back their old coach and let me make a profit and I was sorry I couldn't oblige them... Dive in you will love it.

    Mountain Aire is a very good coach in my experience, the higher end Newmars in general are top shelf.

    You might have better response in the newmar section


    There is no Newmar section on this forum but you might try at irv2.com

    As a partial answer....Newmar is an excellent company and if the motorhome has been well taken care of and within your budget, it's a good one to buy. We had no issues with our Newmar although it wasn't the model you're looking at.

    I just did a quick search and here are a couple for price comparisons:

    Good luck!
