I've owned a Newmar for 5 yrs and it is basically a well built coach. One negative I will say is their claim of Amish craftsmanship quality cabinetry is unfounded. The cabinetry in my coach is poorly made. The main kitchen cabinet is mounted in the slide. It had twisted so much that
it started to fall apart and the Corian countertop cracked when the coach was just a couple of yrs. old. I had to rebuild and re-enforce it. Also the cabinet door has started to sag and fall apart at the stile and rail.
The small cabinet beside the couch also came of the wall as there were only 2 small screws holding it in place. There are just too many places where either for cost or weight they used
1/8" panels and framework rather than 5/8" or 3/4" gables. Fortunately, I have the skills to repair this myself as I am a professional cabinetmaker and have been so for over 35 yrs.
Maybe their high end coaches have better cabinetry but my Ventanas cabinets are very
poorly made
