NEWMAR VS COACHMEN
So, what do ya all think? Pros and Cons please. Both 1 1/2 bath gassers on a Ford Chassis. The Canyon Star is obviously a high end unit and comes at a higher price. Also at almost 40ft and four slid...

The newmar's overpriced. The coachmen, didn't see a price, maybe 75,000. If you want a gas unit, should be able to buy new for 85-100,000. As for the 40E Revolution, in the 80's.
We ordered our 40E in 05. Good coach. 400 cat. 10 years old and have not seen 1 yet, that we would trade and spend 200,000 more on just for new.
Always a consideration, whether one is leaning more towards gas or not.
Now, since you're an owner of the one in question, I must ask about the length and weight, GCWR, etc... and since it doesn't have a tag axle?
41',GVWR=34,000, Actual 29,680. Front GAWR=14,000, Actual 12,420. Rear GAWR=20,000, Actual 17,260. This is loaded, full fuel, 1/2 tank fresh water 50 gal+-, heading out. GCVWR=49,000. 15,000lbs hitch.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and did find a spec. sheet which is very impressive indeed and did think I'd find such without the tag. Then again, it's supposedly just shy of 41ft and not 42ft...
