What is the big differences between the Newman products. I am getting a 37' Kountry Star but see there are 37' Mountain Aires, and 37'Scottsdale.

What are the biggest differences or is it a good, better, best? If so which is good, better, and best?

Visually all three seem to be very similar.

Go to the Newmar Website and they list them in order. That eliminates the wrong guesses you have gotten so far.

Mountain Aire, top of line, Kountry Star Mid line, Scottsdale starter MH. All are built on same line by the same people with a lot of same materials, When we ordered our MH, 14 years ago, we have Mountain Aire Fabrics on our couch etc, and the quality is probably the same on all lines. Email or call Newmar, they have been great to deal with, they will explain and answer all your questions.

There will differences in equipment, furnishings, and often the chassis. Whether gas or diesel, a MountainAire is marketed toward top of line. A Mountainaire gasser will be top of line.

In diesel pushers, a Kountry Star will usually be near the base range, below "just short of premium" Dutch Star. But as a gasser, Kountry Star may be mid to upper range, just below Mountainaire if one was made that model year.

I'm pretty sure the Scottsdale was positioned near entry level, where Bay Star gassers are positioned now.

Like other manufacturers, Newmar has shrunk and grown model line offerings with the market, discontinuing some when the market is bad, introducing new names for markets not previously served, recycling other names to new lines in new positions.

Pay less attention to names, more to what equipment is offered, and chassis models, capacities, engine sizes.

Model numbers are coded by the first two numbers being the length and the second two being the interior design.

Mountain Aire was until 2002 a mid range couch, 2003 they moved it up to the luxury level, and the Dutch Star filled the hole in the mid range level.

Your Country Star is an entry level coach. still well built, and a great coach.

the diesel pushers have the mountain aire above the kountry star, I don't know about the scottsdale or the gas models, I have seen some pictures of the mountain aire gassers and they looked nice
