New Newmar New Aire Motorhome

Are they bringing it back??? The New Aire was a limited build hybrid type (not hybrid powered) MH that was supposed to ride and drive like a car yet provide the other features and amenities of a Class A. They were EXPENSIVE and never really took off.

As we're getting older I was actually thinking about the New Aire just the other day. Was it a dud or just ahead of its time? Who knows.

Expensive? Yes
Base price around $354,000
Priced in between Ventana and Dutch Star they say.

Side radiator

34' length and two floorplans at present.

I just looked around, sure enough, the name returns. At a $354,000 starting price (going from above post, I saw no pricing info) they kept the expensive part from the original.

This is like FORD coming out with a new EDSEL. Why would Newmar use a Name that caused them so much trouble?????????????? Doug

Its an interesting model for sure. Its in a tough price-point category where there are MANY options. It will need to have features that just set it apart.

Reminds me of the new THOR ARIA series. Just above entry level D/P with tons of standard features in a very competitive price point. Trying to carve out its own 'niche'.

I personally like the idea of more competition in the 34'-38' D/P's!

This is an interesting move. The "aire" series usually designates a luxury model, with the Mountain Aire being the first in the lineup. Yet this one has the "aire" designation ahead of the Dutch Star.

I suppose their market research revealed a market for this model, but it does not appeal to me at all.

A little more information.

I do not care for that dark interior. looks like a cave.

Before I'd buy the NewAire, new, at $354,000 I'd buy This, at $330,000 much more coach and lot less depreciation.
