Opinions on Newmar Dutch Star
I'm looking at a 1999 Dutch Star with the Cummins 8.3L diesel pusher. It only has 1 owner who has taken care of it through factory or dealerships. It has 150k miles from their full time use for years....
Forum Discussion
The owners have limited mobility so haven't driven it in 5-7 years (depends on who you ask).
Updates:
The motorhome won't start. They tried to start it a few weeks ago and the starting batteries were dead so they called a service that jumped started it. It ran fine then they shut it off and tried a restart and it wouldn't start. A few days later they had new batteries put in and it still won't start.
I got a mobile mechanic scheduled to look at it and wanted to know what should I have him inspect/test?
First he will solve the no start issues. Then I will have him check tires, suspension, fluids (incl diesel fuel) and filters and take a road test when finished.
Just found motorhome is covered under Good Sam service plan but can not get it driven to shop right now so was going to start with mobile service and see where things go from there.
Any advice/info?
