I concur Newmar has an issue. Our coach purchased new last winter we had a similar experience, only less severe because I was under the coach soon after purchase. Clearly it had a sequence of shortcomings.
1- unpainted steel below decks. Newmar did these reinforcements, not FL.
2-undercoat did not cover all the metal below.
3-driven to dealer on salted roads and insufficiently cleaned at the dealer.
Like you, this was not our first Newmar, and a big departure from prior experience. I have read other accounts which seem to indicate that recent ramp up in volumes have challenged their ability to maintain quality.
Unfortunate for them, as they are motivating loyal customers to reconsider other brands.
