Have you seenThis this?

better coach at half the price,

One of the nicest units you'll find. Comfort Drive is a game changer and hung wall construction means no chance of delamination - ever.

We've owned 3 new Newmars, if we ever buy another it will be another Newmar.

Enjoy!

We looked loving at the Dutch Star before we decided on the Allegro. Beautiful coach, but for us there were two significant faults. We found the cabinets on the drivers side to be small, probably close to useless (in our mind). The major fault was that when the slides were retracted my wife and I found it very difficult to maneuver to the back (going to frig or toilet). With bad knees and ankles the unlevel floor and the tightness of the walkway were a major factor. But indeed, the Newmar Dutch Star is a lovely coach.

That is my favorite Newmar floorplan.

Newmar, Spartan chassis, Cummins engine, Allison trans, very hard to beat That combination. And hold their value well.

It's a very nice coach. DSDP's are heralded as one of the nicest and highest quality production coaches made. I wish I could afford one.

You will like the specs on the unit. Comfort drive, 450 HP, 150 fuel tank, etc. I think the DS is one of the top selling pushers. Here is a link for the 2013 Brochure in case you don't have it.
