Winnebago officially acquired Newmar in November of 2019. They are built in Nappanee Indiana.
That means Amish guys running around being paid by the piece slapping it together as fast as they can. If you've seen the factories, it's nuts. I guess I just don't want to drop 100k of hard earned money on something somebody else slaps together... Sorry not trying to insult others or anything.
So "older" Newmar coaches were built where? Would be interesting if they were built in a quality factory.
That's correct... plus , for the most part, working there is a "part time" job, their full time job is on the farm , which they head to in the early afternoon.
Well, if thats the case and you want to avoid anything built in Indiana by Amish folks......You can cross off probably 95% of the RV manufacturers off your list, and plan on shelling out obscene amounts of $$ for something like a Prevost, Foretravel, or some other bus conversion company.
I guess thats the answer to the OP's question - Yes, there is real quality, but you better have very, very deep pockets if you must have it.
