New Newmar New Aire Motorhome

That is a real nice looking 34ft DP, it is hard to find a DP that small with 360 HP most that I have seen are 330 HP or less, but for $350 to $400,000 that is a lot of money unless your going to live in it, but most full timers that I talk to want a 40 ft MH.

The New Aire is a nice looking coach. I see that it is offered with a full wall slide on the passenger side and two slides on the driver's side or four separate slides.

It has four cabinet color choices and actually a decent choice of a color palate for the fabric choices. Looks like this 'Newmar line' was well thought out.

The 'huge' warning stickers on the bedroom wall are a little much. I see the lack of a king bed might not work for everybody but a 34 ft. length coach will have compromises. It looks like Newmar did a nice job putting everything together.

I didn't remember the name from the past as I was not a Newmar follower.

I like the exterior design, the front cap is nicely tailored with clean lines. I see it has one bay door that opens backwards which could be a problem if not closed tightly. Also, I like the way that Newmar has incorporated an emergency door in the bathroom. That's a feature that is needed in all motorhomes.

Safe travels,
MM.

Build it on the Spartan MID ENGINE chassis and you would have a short coach that would ride and handle well. Would have long WB/OL ratio and good weight distribution.

Looking at it a little deeper, it's looking like Newmar is going for a nice, high end MH, only shorter.

I wish them well with it, I'm sure there is a market for it.

Well, at the price of this thing it might do better than Navistar's Holiday Rambler Trip, another "innovative" coach.

I'm happy for you. Obviously you're not the market they're aiming at. I am though.

Looks like a hotel lobby. Nothing wrong with that if it's what you're after, but I find it curious that luxury type coaches don't feel "homey". They are either like hotel lobbies or a Vegas casino. Comparatively I've seen high end homes and they aren't really like that, so why this take in a MH?

I just downsized and this one looks good and would have been in the running but it is too late now. I had a 34 foot Foretravel with the isc and had no weight issues so I doubt this one will either.

Looks like no King Bed option (big deal for me).
206” WB is a little short for a 34’ coach.
I like the idea of a side radiator ISB. I think that engine is just right for a shorter, lighter pusher (e.g. up to 34 – 35’ and 25 – 26k lbs). I wonder what that NewAire actually weighs?
