Steve and Sally, you have a Newmar and Newmar is replacing the sidewalls and repainting for significantly less than $30K. If the checking is an issue for you, I would give them a call.
Thanks for the tips but my quote was from Newmar. We purchased our coach used. It was a one owner coach and it was traded in back to it's original dealership from which we ended up purchasing it. After getting home and going thru all the paperwork, I believe the factory and dealership had this coach more than the owners. It was overwhelming going over the work orders and some of the things that the owners were requesting repaired. I mean simple things that were probably driving Newmar nuts. I believe this coach is targeted at the factory and they don't want to see it again. I called to get a quote on the upper front nose to be painted and cleared as it's peeling again. Quote $3300. :E (it had been painted at the factory before along with some other areas). I thought that was crazy. Another call for something else the same treatment. It's OK with me because overall this coach has been GREAT. We for sure don't regret owning it at all and have enjoyed the 8 years we've owned it. As said though thanks for the tip and even if it was 1/2 that much being a gas rig I doubt I'd recoup what I would have to pay. Thanks!
