I stopped in at our closest Newmar dealer today, Steinbring Motorcoach, and ended up taking a 2008 Dutch Star on a test drive. I am in love! We went out on Interstate I-94 with a gusty 25 mph crosswind and with the comfort drive I had one to two fingers on the steering wheel!
So I am going with carpeted storage bays---but in a Newmar diesel pusher! Hey Bruce the moderator in your Kountry Star--I have been won over from a newer gasser to a used diesel pusher, maybe even with a tag.
Great choice. I'm glad you were able to try the Comfort Drive under those conditions, that's when it really shines.
Obviously I haven't seen the one you drove, but did you notice how straight and true it was? We are a 3 time Newmar owner for a reason. :B
The comfort drive was unbelievable. When I backed the DP back into the parking spot at the dealership, I was able to let go of the steering wheel after getting it lined up. The steering auto centered and I backed straight it into the spot. Lee and Tim @ Steinbring Motorcoach gave ruined gassers for me forever.
I can buy the used 2008 Dutch Star 43 foot with a tag and 50,000 miles for less than a new gasser. And the Dutch Star looks and feels brand new.
