When you see someone post the question about what brand to buy, invariably the answer says to start with the floor plan. Very few responses say, check out the manufacturer and see what problems people are having. There are quality manufacturers out there other than just at the mega price points. Newmar, Entegra, and American Coach come to mind as ones who try to get it right coming out the door.
That is the 2nd post I have seen on Newmar. I really like Newmar. However, I have never owned one. My buddy just spent $1.1m on a 2015 Newmar King Aire. His punch list was huge. And when I looked closely at the details, I was not as impressed as I expected to be for $1.1m.
Everybody is saying spend more money and the quality will come. Maybe they mean you have to spend even MORE than $1.1m!!!
You definitely don't have to spend $1.1m for a Newmar!! :E
I don't see how your friend got it up that high.
We made many custom features with our '04 Newmar. Granted, that was 11 years ago but we only paid $140,000 for ours. That was what many were paying for a big truck and 5th wheel combined.
If you don't buy new but instead, perhaps 3 or 4 years old, you can get very good prices on Newmars.
